Shaving cream from India

[PGrevie]

I was talking to a buddy at work and found out he has a family member coming to visit from India in a little over a week. He is going to have them bring any shaving products I want (within moderation I'm sure). I really like the Shulton Old Spice Fresh Lime cream. Also thinking about trying Godrej; either Lime or Menthol.
Any suggestions?

I saw a tube of Axe cream in one of the local Indian grocers a while back. I think the scent was "Denim" or something. I might have to pick up a tube if it's decent.

Dettol as well....2 varieties

I've only tried the Godrej soap, and the lime and regular creams. Great performers.

I liked both the Old Spice Lime and the regular Godrej, but the Vic-co Turmeric is one I won't get again. I think all of the ones I've tried contained Parabens so I would check the ingredients if that is a concern.

I like the Godrej regular. Good performer, slick and lathers well. Nice scent as well.

if gillette 7 o'clock blacks are your favs, put them on your list

i'm thinking of picking up some Biotique Bio Palmyra on amazon because of http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/332691-Biotique-Bio-Palmyra-amazing

If you are a menthol fan ,the Vi-John is a real treat !

I like the Palmolive Lemon cream. It has a nice fresh scent to it.

If they can acquire some 'Godrej Menthol Mist', be sure to get some. It's a wonderful shave cream. Recommended.

I couldn't agree with you more - the Godrej Menthol Mist is brilliant. I LOVE it also!

Did they reformulate the Vi-John Menthol cream? I have a tube of it and I can hardly feel any menthol from it.

Perhaps so...I see the new tube has added tea tree oil,my tube is a few years old.They have expanded their line now,and have at least 5 varieties...

I received a tube of Park Avenue Classic yesterday and used it this morning. Really great lather and a nice and decent scent to it.

Yes, lather maker

 

[PGrevie]

My buddy just sent me a picture with the creams he has for me. I'm stoked to try some of these. The Bio Palmyra is still on the top of my want to buy list; especially after seeing Alex's video of lather the stuff. I want to try the Godrej Menthol too, but I'm not in too much of a hurry since its starting to get cold. We try not to run the heat very much at home, so sometimes thinking about shaving with menthol is like dipping your toe in a cold pool before jumping in.

Really nice line-up of creams...you'll enjoy many great shaves with these..
