    Didn't see it, must have missed it. Thanx. Do we know which of their Palmolives is equivalent to the Italian Menthol.

    Thanks Jeff, I am enjoying the Erasmic very much - great lather, and an old-time smell to it!
    Also got some Godrej Deluxe & Ingram in the same order, and I like them also, today I used the Ingram for Menthol Monday - good stuff!

    I purchased this and Proraso from West Coast Shaving. Tried the Proraso right away, and based on the reviews for Erasmic, I believe I will like this too!

    Likewise, Ive never really thought about actually buying it, but its so cheap, it can't hurt. Maybe I'll throw a tube on my next order from somewhere.

    Anybody still use this? I had a tube years ago and loved it, just wondering if it's the same.

    Odd? In what way?

    A lot of the so called 'Barbershop' soaps should hold a candle to this cream. In my opinion this is a real old school Barbershop scent.

    I don't know about the newer version but the old one is fabulous.

    Is the smell anything like the tallow soap they make? I looooveee the smell of Erasmic soap, smells kinda like black tea (at least it does to me)

    The shave stick had a great scent & performance but unfortunately similar to Williams it went through several reformulations over the years and now the performance is subpar. Not sure if the cream suffered the same fate.

    There's also the relatively new Erasmic Supreme stick which has the same scent as the Erasmic soap in the bowl. That version is very good.

    Erasmic will always remind me of my paternal grandfather. I don't think he ever used another soap.

    I have a couple of the older Erasmic tallow sticks and you know what? They're good!
