Here is my review on this nice cream! I received this wonderful stuff yesterday from a great guy from Bulgaria who is a member of TSD, and I used it this morning for the first time and already, I love it! Ease of lathering: 10/10--So little cream gives so much lather FAST! Longevity of lather: 10/10...

I received a tube of the menthol variant today. It smells like it could be quite cooling. I think I'll give it a try tomorrow morning to see how it performs. I have the Classic variant which smells and lathers great, but although menthol is listed, I feel none at all - not even after a shave.

Has anybody ever seen this stuff before? I'm thinking about getting it. It's supposed to be a good Portuguese cream.

This is a cream from Tunisia, which is also popular in Algeria, Morocco, and Libya, and used in barbershops in these countries. Ease of lathering: 10/10--A small dab explodes into rich lather fast! Longevity of lather: 10/10--Great stability. General skincare: 8/10--Seems to moisturize and protect t...

Honestly, I think my creams and soaps will be around long after I'm gone.

Erasmic
De Vergulde Hand
Arko
Irisch Moos

That's in no particular order.

Tom, I don't know of any vendors in North America who carry any Russian creams. They seem to be available only in Russia and in the neighboring countries.

Phil, I actually find the Boots stick smells quite nice - it seems lemony/minty. (in a way) It performs very well also, although I'll confess I still prefer the Erasmic and Palmolive sticks. :) Scent is a funny thing as I did not pick up any citrus at all. To me, it was ganja and mint. The stick wo...

Clive, I know nothing about Russian brushes - sorry!

Hmmm...one would think that Russia would produce good badger brushes, considering the range of the Asian badger and Russia's history in the fur trades. Has anybody here ever heard of Russian brushes? Buzz A little off-topic, but Russia is a major fur garment producing nation now. It has even passed...

Here is/was a really nice and very cheap German cream which I cannot understand why it was discontinued. I still have 2 tubes of it, and I plan to hang on to them. Ease of lathering: 10/10--A little cream on a wet brush - lots of lather! Longevity of lather: 10/10--Perfect stability for multi-pass s...

This is very true. I just use a small dab on both cheeks, I wet the brush and I'm almost buried in lather.

http://s9.postimage.org/5dmw1igaj/Krem_Aspis_kutia_Ice_Rain123.jpg This Bulgarian-made cream is very nice, and I like the scent and skincare very much. Here are a few points I'd like to mention: Ease of lathering: 10/10--Bulgarian creams are champion latherers! Longevity of lather: 10/10--Bulgarian...

Ohhhhhhhh, I'm taking a sabbatical from any more creams and soaps, as well as anything else wetshaving-related until after the new year. 485 items are enough, I would say.

Here is another cheap and excellently-performing German cream made for the Schlecker pharmaceutical chain. I think it's really good stuff. Ease of lathering: 10/10--boom, lather right away! Longevity of lather: 10/10--good stability. General skincare: 9/10--moisturizes and protects very well. Scent:...

A Bulgarian shaving soap? Jeez, I never knew there was such a thing!

I have one also, and I enjoy it from time to time. I like the scent, and it lathers great.

From Germany we have a very cheap cream with good performance. It is sold in certain pharmacies over there. Ease of lathering: 10/10--Rich, creamy lather in no time flat. Longevity of lather: 10/10--Multi-passes are no problem with this stuff. General skincare: 9/10--Very comfortable feeling. Very p...
