    This is a Czech-made cream which I received a couple of years ago, and I thought I would share my observations on it:

    Ease of lathering: 10/10--No problem at all for a rich lather.

    Longevity of lather: 9/10--Stays stable enough for a good shave.

    General skincare: 8/10--Pretty good - quite cooling from menthol. Moisturizes well also.

    Scent: 7/10--It's not a bad scent, very minty at first, but then it changes when it's lathered up.

    Price: 7/10--This cream cost me more than I would have wanted to pay, but still not a budget-buster.

    Would I buy again: 7/10--Perhaps I would. Then again, perhaps I wouldn't. Hard to determine.

    This stuff is very good for a warm summer morning shave because it has a good amount of menthol in it. The lather is rich and easy to create, however a few things sort of dampen my desire to buy this cream again. The price, as well as the cap tends to break easily. Otherwise, it's a pretty good cream.

    You always seem to have all these exotic creams from all over the place..... do you have agents planted around the world who send you these delights?

    I wasn't really impressed from this cream. Ok, it's a fine cream that does it's job very well. But I didn't like the scent very much and I'm not keen on mentholated SCs.

    The scent is not ugly, but it is not as great when it's completely lathered. It's as I said suitable and decent, but I agree with you - there are better creams. :)

    You should try the Olimon shaving cream then. Same ingredients minus the menthol, plus a Citrus/Herbal fragrance

    I tried the Olimon cream, and you're right. It is very nice.
