    Used to be found in RiteAid pharmacies in the U.S. It can still be found online. I abbreviated it to RSC since the full name was in the posts I quoted. :)

    Thanks, I figured it out after posting. I remember my local RiteAid selling it a while ago.

    that is an AMAZING cache of creams!!!
    most of those are not easily available in the US. but would love to try them all, i keep my eyes peeled for creams at ethnic grocery stores

    the only tube creams i have experience with are poraso green, blue and grey, old spice from india. the classic poraso green is my favorite i like the nose, shave quality good glide and lubrication, and face fell post shave

    if canned/jar creams count then art of shaving sandalwood, and simpsons lavender vetiver. i got these at very steep discount. i'm cheap so paying approx $20US is out of the question. but of these the simpsons lavender vetiver, it far out performs the AOS sandalwood in scent, shave, and post feel.

    I've only tried a few. Not nearly as many as some of you guys have.

    Always keep a tube of cream in the bathroom. As I like variety. Over the years I have tried.

    Palmolive: Wish this one wouldn't have given me a reaction. Liked the green scent and my face felt good afterwards.

    Herbs of Bulgaria Lavender: Similar experience as Palmolive. But had great Lavender scent.

    Tobac: Got great shaves with it and I finished off the tube. But my nose would prefer a different scent.

    C. O. Bigelow: liked this cream as well. I have always liked menthol and C O B got it just right. Got like 3 tubes for $20. Went through 2 of them. Gifted the other.

    Godrej: Worked well for the $$. Liked the lime scent.

    Kiss my face Patchouli: I really liked this cream. Looked forward to trying other scents of it in the future. I now I hear it's been discontinued. Just my luck when I find something I like.

    Irisch Moos: Performs like Tobac since it's made by the same company. Like the scent better than Tobac as well. Have about 40% of a tube left to go.

    Just started using this board and not sure if you were asking if Kapo was canned. No it’s a 100ml tube cream from Bulgaria.

    I see some Svoboda in there, but not the Svoboda Green Apple shave cream. I was quite excited to try the Green Apple Cream, and it was quite good, but it had an afterscent that @herzi summed up quite well when he said it smelled like diesel fuel.
