What is your opinion on fine shaving creams and hard soaps? Do you like Trumpers, Coates, Taylors, Truefitt & Hill? Post your reviews and opinions here!
I was in Canada recently visiting family, and in one of the major Canadian grocery store chains, Sobeys, were several tubes of Florena shaving cream at regular price, $3.79, with "improved formula" on the box. It was right next to some Nivea tubed shaving cream for $3.49. According to the manager, in Canada, Florena will only be available at Sobeys and IGA stores.
I was in a couple of stores the other day and noticed that it's now in a Nivea box. The ones I saw actually had a label on the box saying it was previously known as Florena.
Best,

Perhaps one day we'll look back on this moment and crash into a parked car.
To tell you the truth, I believe that they are really 2 different creams. They are both good, but I honestly prefer Florena. I've got perhaps a quarter of a tube left, so once it's finished, that'll be the end of my Florena era.
The Good Doctor sent me a tube of this from the recent drawing, and I must say I've taken to it like blazes--this is some very nice stuff. I've already tracked down a tube here in Japan (!!!!) and it looks like it's still in production in Germany, so it's not completely gone, it appears. Hope always remains.
