Wars-like

Post by stephen732 »

i've been double edge shaving for a few years. though i don't consider myself an expert however i find the Wars shaving cream from Poland to be my favorite of the limited few that i have tried. is there anything available that has the same silky consistency with a pleasant scent?

I haven't tried either, but I think Pollena Lider is supposed to be the same stuff.

I find Erasmic soap to be very similiar but I havent smelled the cream. there are many other great options out there though. I just recently sold off about 3 tubes of WARS:( I have a couple for backup though. Its good but no where near the best.

I don't know if they are close or not,but lider lime is my favorite lime,and a helluva good cream...I also think lider is no longer made,but if you find it,buy it.the creams in the tubes last many years as long as you re-cap them after use...

The Wars cream is definitely different from the Pollena and also the Erasmic.
The store I used to get some from hasn't carried some in a long time, perhaps it isn't made anymore or there wasn't a big demand for it. I think I have one tube left for now.
