Item Description
Vi-John Shaving Cream claims on the tube to be Asia's #1 shave cream. And since this little gem is likely in every barber's kit in India -- from village shops to roadside stalls to the steps of the Ganges bathing ghats -- I'm inclined to believe it. There are three varities: regular, mentholated, and lime. For a shockingly cheap price you get a cream that punches with the big boys Godrej-style, enriched with glycerin, allantoin, lanolin, coconut acid, and Vitamin E.
Price: Around $3 for a 125ml tube. Can't do much better than that.
Quality: Good enough. I can't fault it in any way, really.
Scent: Weird. Think of an incense stick and that's the scent of this stuff. People who enjoy florals might find it pleasant, but if you don't care for sharp, pungent aromas you'll have to get used to it. It's more "maharishi" than "maharaja."
Latherability:` Great. Equal to Godrej and just a notch below the 3T's.
Efficacy: Very effective cream. Voluminous, protective, and slick. Curiously, though, the cooling effect from the menthol is very light. It's no face-freezer along the lines of Proraso or Godrej Menthol Mist; more like a mild tingle.
Moisturizing Properties: Perfect.
Overall a great cream worth checking out.
