What do you folks think of Vi-John shaving cream? It is inexpensive, for certain, at around 0.75 ¢ per tube.
Is the mint version better than Godrej Menthol Mist?They're pretty decent and does what it was made to do. It contains tea tree oil, which is definitely good. I have the Musk, Tropical Lime, Fruit Fusion, Classic as well as Icy Mint versions. I don't quite like the scent of the lime version. Classic and Icy Mint are really nice and I recommend them.
Overall, they perform pretty well for me and since its like only USD.50 a tube here in Malaysia, it's a bargain. They're always part of my rotation.
I would say that the performance of both are quite similar but the Godrej feels a lot cooler on the face. Godrej definitely has more menthol in their cream. Godrej has lanolin which is great and Vi-John creams contain tea tree oil which is also pretty good. Both have completely different scents and both are pretty good in terms of performance.Is the mint version better than Godrej Menthol Mist?
Godrej has been around for ages. They're very good indeed. There's the Fresh Lime, Menthol Mint and the regular Rich Foam varieties. I don't quite like the Fresh Lime scent though. All 3 performs very well. Pretty similar in terms of performance to the Arko shaving creams. Arko soaps are definitely a lot slicker.Godrej is one I've not heard of. It is very cheap in price. It is as good as old standbys like Arko and La Toja?
Which are better?I don’t know what to think about Vi John. The menthol version hardly has any cooling effect and the skincare is not too good. The original version is pretty good but I have a couple of Indian creams besides Godrej with are much better - at least to me.

Did you feel any cooling sensation from the cream? I find it to be very subdued.Which are better?
I got a tube of the mint and used it the other day with my straight razor. I was surprised at the performance from a cream that is so inexpensive (79¢ per tube). It had good slickness to the lather, but the cushion was only so-so. It did have enough residual slickness that I could touch up some areas without re-lathering if I were really careful. This cream is not in the same league as La Toja, but for the money not too bad. I doubt I'll ever buy more, but I didn't throw it away, either.
Yes, I had a nice, pleasant cooling, but not too much.Did you feel any cooling sensation from the cream? I find it to be very subdued.
