    ggg_306.jpg This is a Bulgarian cream which is sold all over Europe, and I wish they would bring it in to North America, because it's so good!

    Ease of lathering: 10/10--A pleasure to work with.

    Longevity of lather: 10/10--Lasts forever if you want!

    General skincare: 9/10--Very moisturizing. Menthol is listed, but I can't feel it.

    Scent: 10/10--Lovely. I can't describe it, though.

    Price: N/A--I traded for it, so I don't know how much it is.

    Would I buy again: 10/10--You wouldn't have to twist my arm!

    I think the world of most Bulgarian creams because they lather and perform so well. This stuff smells delightful and delivers on everything I want from a cream, except the menthol sensation. I still love it, and I would buy it again if I could find it.

    Howdy! Jeff: Sounds like a great shaving cream! Maybe I can try it one day. Currently, I have several tubes of other creams and several soaps waiting to be used. One thing I have found out is that it is difficult to try "everything" that is out there. Low cost samples in a bundle or group of 5 to 10 would be great. Enjoy your shaves! I sure enjoy mine! Always, Gene

    Thanks to a UK friend I also have been favored with some Super Max Ultimate (classic). Been using it with different straight razors for awhile and it's not bad. Using it in my Suribachi set into a large coffee cup of hot water. Lather is very nice warm, nice cushion, fairly long lasting. Now that I'm using the Suribachi all soaps, sticks, creams are equally easy to lather up.

    In Bulgaria this cream costs approximately 0.70$ :)

    Jeff. by now you must have enough creams to last through 2 or 3 Shavepocalypses. ;)

    Аbsolutely! After reading the review I decided to try it, until now I thought it was some cheap crap :) Now I can say that is close to my favorites Agressia Fresh,Каро Classic,but it is a liquid, not so thick,which does not affect its quality.

    Jeff, I am not trying to be a kiss ass, but reading your reviews on shave creams is something I really enjoy.

    Menthol listed but not felt :D
    The same problem the Pascale cream I use. It's probably from the same company since it also performs great :)
    btw. nice review as always :D

    Agressia Fresh and Karo Classic are both lovely creams. I am very impressed with their scents, their lathering abilities, and their gentle and soothing post-shave care. Bulgaria is a genious country for top shaving creams, like Russia, India, Italy, and several other countries. :)

    Crackstar, your reviews of exotic products led me to buy one tub of IKAR and one of Kapo. Both are good as far as their lathering abilities are concerned, but to my nose the Kapo is almost unscented. I do not regret buying them but while the packaging rocks, they are actually nothing special and sicne there are sooo many beautiful products out there, I will almost certainly not buy again.

    I have a Karo Fresh cream also which smells different from the Classic. I think the Classic version is much better. :)

    I heard of the Ikar cream, but I never tried it. As I was saying before, I think the world of the Karo Classic cream. I think it's one of the best I ever used in all my life.
