Finally scored 2 tubes of SOLO creams ,regular and menthol,from a generous doner in Croatia.These Hungarian made creams are just like Joe at Shaveabuck reviewed them,first class all the way !..A little dollop turns into a super thick ,rich and peaky lather,snow white and with a scent of "clean" in it. The formula for both is the same,except the menthol contains a very slight hint of menthol. I was using a 1963 Gillette adjustable set on 5 with a virgin Russian Perma-sharp loaded into it. The shave was extraordinary to say the least,absolutely a world class perfect shave .As sharp as the blade was,the SOLO lather guided it on a path that saw no bumps in the road,effortless protection .Lasting power is great,I had enough left on the brush for another shave,and I use 4-5 passes with and against the grain,so I had used plenty of lather,but the brush was still ready for more work.Sadly this is a really tough cream to find,it is a real bargain if you do find it..
Solo !

Nice find. Just might have to track some down. Thanks.
I sold this years back. It is truly a great cream and I love the scent. If you can find this buy it. The parent company is based in the U.K and Budapest. I wonder who makes this private label for them.
Solo is made in Bulgaria by Fresh Up Cosmetics. If you have Купа (Kupa) & Купа Fresh, they are 1:1 like Solo Regular and Solo Menthol. I am surprised that everybody thinks they are Hungarian... Just made for Hungarian, Serbian and Croatian market
Even Man Max, sold in same countries, Croatia and Serbia is made in Bulgaria by Fresh Up.
They seem to be used almost everywhere in the Balkans. I believe they’re even available in Russia and Belarus.
