Tropica shaving cream review

Post by crackstar »

Image

A nice cream made in Egypt which I received not too long ago. This stuff is another dream-come-true for anyone on a tight budget.

Ease of lathering: 10/10--Explodes into rich lather fast.

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Stable enough for multi-passes.

General skincare: 8/10--Pretty soothing with a good cooling effect.

Scent: 9/10--Minty and lemony with a hint of lavender. Very nice and refreshing.

Price: 10/10--Maybe a buck and a half in Egypt! Cheap, yes?

Would I buy again: 9/10--Yes, I believe I would.

Egypt puts out some excellent creams for very little money, and wetshaving is still very popular over there. This cream has great blade glide, rich, creamy lather with a nice, refreshing scent, plenty of menthol, and good skincare. I would definitely recommend this stuff!

They sent me samples and wanted to do business. To be honest it is just another shave cream. Performed well but no special scent to it.

Joe, was it the Egyptian version of the Tropica cream or the Indian?

India, they wanted to send any amount, even just a case. Since it is just shave cream and the boards no longer have any interest in shave creams I declined.

You see Joe, you'd sell them faster than you think!
