Medicam shaving cream - great lather and stability

Post by crackstar »

This is a cream from Pakistan which I've had for a while, and I never had the chance to review, so here we go.

Ease of lathering: 10/10--A small amount of cream explodes into great lather.

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Perfect. However, it's downhill from here.

General skincare: 6/10--Drying and even a little irritating sometimes.

Scent: 5/10--Very odd kind of scent - soapy/medicinal in not too pleasant a way.

Price: 8/10--In that category, not bad at all. An 85 gram tube for 4,75$ CAD is reasonable.

Would I buy again: 0/10--No way, Jose. This stuff is not for me.

With sincere respect to Pakistan, her shaving creams are generallly not quite on par with her two neighbors India and Bangladesh. I've tried several Pakistani creams, and with the exception of only one I find that they lack in quality. Medicam cream gives excellent, stable lather and doesn't cost a lot of money, but that's about it.
