Godrej Rich Foam: test lather pics

[Mad Man]

Greetings lads,

One of my team at work recently returned from the sub-continent with a haul of Godrej and gave me a tube of the Rich Foam variant.






Pics above are of the tube front and back.

I took the opportunity over the weekend to whip up a test lather - squeezed a generous "almond" into a bowl, squeezed a pre-soaked SR 3824 until fairly dry and worked the lather for about 3 minutes - added water twice, approx, teaspoon each time.

Thoughts on Godrej?

Haven't shaved with it yet but so far it smells ok, a little "rich and spicy and soapy" if that makes sense. The lather felt wonderful between the fingers and whipped up really easy with our soft, soft Melbourne water. The SR made short work of the mix and even though it was a first-up lather I have confidence that I can repeat the results.

Will post more once I have had a shave with it. But so far it looks promising...

Good value cream! I've used the Menthol Mist and Rich Foam but I think I use less than the generous amount you put in your bowl.

 

[Mad Man]

Yes Nemo, as soon as I started whipping it up I realised I could have used half the amount; the stuff really "blew up" but stayed dense not airy...

Anyone know when they started printing the full ingredient list? It used to be "key ingredients".

Good value cream!

Value? Not hardly. At about $5 per 50ml it's more expensive ounce per ounce (or however you'd like to measure it) than many of the so-called english luxury creams such as Salters or TOBS. My impression with Godrej is this--> Good cream. Not great of particularly noteworthy in any one aspect. Over priced for what it is. For $5 per 50ml there are much better creams out there.

Why pay $5? When I have bought it, the 70-g tube was $3. In India I suppose it may be even cheaper.

$3.95 a tube at my local Indian grocer. The lanolin is the ingredient I like!

I suppose bargains can be found if you look for them. All the same, I wasn't very impressed with Godrej. Good, not great, nothing stands out about it.

 

[FL shaver]

Similar to KMF creams for me, but a bit more viscous, and better moisturizing.

I'm keen to try it out as a shave rather than just a test lather bubble, will post thoughts on the same thread.

I love Godrej. No, it's not the best cream ever, but it especially works will on tough beards and has a great "musky blue" scent.

 

[Loric]

Thats some good lather!

 

[MrMoJoe]

I think it's a great cream performance-wise. The scent is different; not outstanding but not bad by any means - sort of an old school musky scent, perhaps a bit synthetic. Tons of easy lather, and the lanolin really works well for me and leaves the skin feeling soft.

I'll stand by my statement of a good value cream, $2.49 for 70g

 

[Mad Man]

It's OUTSTANDING value for me - got it PIFed by one of my team! It's all uphill baby!

 

[Mad Man]

Thats some good lather!

Thanks Loric - it was a little bit of luck I think; first bowl lather in 3 months! Been on the face kick with Cella, Raso Green and the Fat.

Thats what I pay for mine. My local Indian Grocer often has the Lime one, which I like.

+1 on the cost and the Lime. Nice cream.
