Never could get lather from the Palmira tough tallow blue cube,and believe me,I tried every trick in the book including long soaks in extremely hot water.I was lucky enough to score a tube of their cream recently and this time I hit the jackpot. My first shave I used a generous dollop of cream,and whipped it for 3 minutes.The lather looked good,but when applied to my beard it was thin,even after more lathering on the face.Surprisingly,I did get a smooth shave with this thin lather,kudos for great lube properties.Second shave I really shook all the excess water out of the brush,after 3 minutes of whipping the Palmira,I had a dense ,thick,brutally rich citrus cream scented lather from sunny Serbia .Needless to say,the shave was great...if I could only say that about their little blue cube I would be even happier ! !

Thanks for sending this Michael ,from deep inside the milky way !
Actually, I'm stuck in an unfashionable outer arm. But when the collision occurs this may become "where it's at"! 
You have a bunch of crazy creams! Thanks for sharing your thoughts...
thank you for sharing
I had a "Serbian Shave" this morning: Palmira Cream, MEM SSP Blade, AL After Shave Cream. I agree with you about the Palmira Cream. It gave me a great shave. I used a drier brush and face lathered. I have the "Cube" too and will be trying it. I have been told it has been reformulated.......we will see.

BOB...How do you like those MEM blades ???...any online source for them ?
The MEM gave me a good shave but was a bit rough. Not a very smooth blade, at least through one shave. I don't think there is any way to get them here in the States as far as I know. If you would like to try them PM me and I will send you a couple.
The Serbian stuff seemed to be a dud for me. I think I would stay away from Eastern Europe except for polish items.

The Brion cream from Serbia was terrible...
I got them as part of a "Secret Santa" package direct from Serbia.
Joe, aka Mr. Shaveabuck.com, thanks for the LEA AS Balsam sample in my last order. It is great, much better than the Nivea. I will be ordering some with my next order!
Seems an odd response coming from the man who sells Barbon, Figaro and Rose of Bulgaria, all of which are great. There are also many quality creams coming out of Russia, Belarus and several other Eastern European countries.
Yes there are, but they're not so easy to get.
