I have LEA mentholated. Not as strong a menthol kick as Palmolive or Ingram, but good enough to keep in rotation.

I used it again today and found it to be very enjoyable.
As far as the scent goes, I can't really figure it out either. It's not wonderful, but is nice. A bit strange.

Now that has piqued my interest. Even in winter I like the menthol. Hmm.
just used lea sensitive cream tonight for the first time.....very nice stuff.
definitely not my favorite but i will be using this to superlather some soaps from here on out.

I tried some of this today and I have to say, I really liked it. Nice lather, and it gave a very slick shave with my SE Ever-Ready Streamline. I recommend this for anyone trying out different creams. Low cost, but a good shave. Scent was a soapy smell, which I like in a cream or soap.
Re searching: just to be clear, type a space after Lea in the search box.
...or search on Google and it usually gives me several B&B threads with my keyword.
Ahhh , used Lea this morning. It's an easy latherer and gives great protection.
As far as the smell, for me its a clean soapy smell. Very fresh.

Received a small tube of this with a brush from Mr. Vey. Haven't used a cream in years and thought I'd break it open and give it a shot.
Lathered up really well and provided a nice slick, creamy lather that left my face feeling good. Very mild scent but it was nice and clean. I think I'll use up the rest of this little tube.
I have to admit, my interest in creams has been piqued.

For a menthol kick in a tube cream, try Palmolive Menthol (Euro version) or Ingram. More face freezing than LEA, IMHO. Not to Vostok freezing though.
I think I have some Ingram I haven't tried yet. I will have to try that.
I used the sensitive cream (metal can) today. I still prefer Proraso but LEA's not awful. I found i needed a lot of product to build the lather, likely due to my hard water. The lather is quite slick and creamy. Scentwise, i mostly get the menthol with a slight sweet woodiness of sandalwood. It's clean and non-offensive. Post shave, my face feels great and the menthol lasts for a little while afterwards- on par with Proraso green. A huge positive i found was, it very easy to rinse away any residue from my face and gear.
I doubt I'll replace it, but I'll be happy to finish the can i have.

I have both the Lea Menthol and Classic. The Menthol version is downright frigid, but even the Classic provides a very nice cooling sensation. They both lather superbly.
I tried all 4 LEA creams and these are my thoughts:
Proffesional - nice old school barbershop scent, pretty good all arounder, fun huge tube for so little money so why not? I gave mine to my brother when he started wet shaving and he loves it.
Menthol - similar distinct barbershop scent + tons of menthol. BUT! The queen of ice for me is Ingram: the lather is just better and it is even more cooling.
Sensitive - top notch product, similar scent to above with better skin care and protection. Very inexpensive and the 40g travel size tube costs less than a sample of other makes.
Classic - I am on the fence. Similar in some aspects to Sensitive. Mildly cooling with a unique scent. Nice to have.
I enjoyed them all but the only one I will re-buy is the Sensitive.
