First Bulgarian Cream test drive
Manufactured in Plovdiv, Bulgaria by <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://biofresh-bg.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://biofresh-bg.com/</a><!-- m -->
On the assumption that I should start low, I decided to start with the cheapest one I found on my recent travels - the one that I almost didn't buy, because it was
too cheap :lol: at 60 stotinki (Mr Google tells me that's about 27p, €0.31) per 100ml it's a wonder it's worth selling, even in Bulgaria where purchasing power is less than 50% of the Western European level.
Well, I can tell you that it has an obviously synthetic fragrance, but lathers like a demon and shaves very well - comparable to Palmolive Classic (as sold in Tesco, Asda etc) - and with a hint of menthol, feels slightly cool on the face. No major cooling effect in the rinse like you get with Proraso though.
Ingredients (or as it prefers "COCTAB"): Aqua, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Boric Acid, Parfum, Sodium Borate, Menthol, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl-3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde.
The shave:
1955 Gillette British Flare Tipped Rocket
