What are your guys's opinions on these creams? I just received these creams in the mail. They smell great. I love the classic scent they both have. I will be using these creams very soon.
Mem Olive and Mem Original

I like the Olive, good stuff for the price.
I think the olive is one of the best shave creams out there no matter the price. It is a great cream and gives an amazing shave! I love the packaging too. Good luck with it, and let us know how it works for you.

I just had my first shave with it. I can't get over how much I love the scent. It gave an amazing shave. The tube is also a bargain. $6.00 free shipping from Israel for almost 5 oz. of shaving cream. I will use Mem Original next and see how it works out. But the Olive has me very impressed and relieved.
If I recall Malocchio (king of the Eastern European creams) posted about Mem creams a while back. IIRC he liked them but better creams were out there. If I recall the creams were cheap in Israel but with customs charges paid by the US distributor and shipping you come up with the $6 a tube that you paid. Another issue with such products is that a distributor has to purchase by the pallet (usually 500 tubes) and runs the risk of only selling half or less of them before the expiry date and being forced to throw away or sell at a loss the remaining inventory.
Did you found them on Ebay ?
Here's another link on Mem from this forum! I just received a jumbo 140ml tube of the Green Olive Oil Mem ($7.49 with free s&h) and it's a fantastic shave cream!!!
If you read all the forums about the two different versions of Mem out there, It seems to be that the Green Mem is liked much better over the other one without the Olive oil added.
I have never used the non-olive oil Mem (might just have to give it a try in the near future).

Both Mem versions are excellent. Israel did a great job of putting these creams on the market.
From what I saw they wrote on the package of MEM classic that it contains allantoin. Is allantoin found in most shaving creams or is not widely used ?
