Evterpa shaving cream review

Post by crackstar »

This is a cream from Bulgaria which I received this past week from a gentleman from another Forum. The only 2 good things about this cream are the lather, and the fact that I received it as a result of a trade, so it cost me no money.

Ease of lathering: 10/10--An explosion of such rich lather in 1 second.

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Awesome stability.

General skincare: 0/10--Drying and slightly irritating. Slight menthol effect.

Scent: 0/10--A donkey in the breeding season smells nicer. Terrible scent.

Price: 10/10--In Bulgaria, it's as cheap as dirt. Around 1,50$ EUR.

Would I buy again: 0/10--No way. I wouldn't want it again even for free.

With respect to the great nation of Bulgaria, which is a producer of many, many fine creams, this stuff is a reject brand. (at least to me) If your skin can tolerate the drying effect, and if your nose can stand the stink, you'll at least be able to enjoy the fantastic lather this cream gives.

No experience with breeding donkeys but that is a vivid image.

Since I find my sense of smell only works intermittently this might be
just the cream.......on some days and not others I suppose. :lol:

You'd hate the scent - I know I do. The only 2 or 3 good things about this dreck are the lather, stability of the lather, and the fact that in Bulgaria, it's very cheap. It's a complete and total reject as far as I'm concerned.
