If you guys know anyone, please let me know. I already tried a friend in China and that would not work.

I was in touch with HLS through chat function on their homepage. They are unable to receive payments form foreign countries. Acc. them they only can handle orders / payments from Russia in the current situation.
Seems like only way is find a guy that is located in Russia to purchase and forward these razors.

Only questions here, but now I'm wondering if other countries can send money to Russia? 
   Some nice shaver guys here, sounds like they would help out if possible.

Might work...it all hinges around an alternate payment system called MIR (now that Russia has been disconnected from SWIFT).
There are high level talks on with Turkey to enable payments to and fro...mainly to enable Russians in Turkey to pay for shit
while they're there.

Once that gets set up and money payments can be made fro Turkey to Russia, I can see a situation where HLS uses a Turkish
online shaving vendor like Split7 (same co. that sells Barbados gear) to sell their stuff. They'll have to be discreet about filling in
country of origin on the customs forms or US customs will throw a fit.

Even India is in similar talks.

That's the only way I see as of now.

That clears the situation up for me at least. 
  That's gonna be a tough one just for a razor. 
  I'm wondering who's actually getting their razors these days, from what countries.

If you have a long lost buddy in Kyrgyzstan whom you have wilfully ignored for decades,
now is the time to reconnect.

"Russia's National Payment System has been accepted not only by Turkey but also by 
South Korea, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, 
South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. Five Turkish banks have adopted Russia's National 
Payment System, MIR, that allows Russian travellers to pay for purchases in the country.

 That comment of yours made me laugh.
 With the wide diversity of people here you never know though.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting trying to get this razor. I reached out to several friends around the world and the only folks that might be able to help are from Oumo but I doubt they will be able to make something work. They are reaching out to the owners of Home Like to try to facilitate a deal to sell some razors for them. I’ll let you all know if anything comes from that. Turkey may be our only option. I’ll have spoke. To Hazan many times about his Barbaros razors so he might be an option.
