I don't know if this cream is still in production because I haven't been to Russia in some time. It's very good, however.
Ease of lathering: 10/10-- Bowl-lathers or face-lathers very easily and well.
Longevity of lather: 10/10--No problem that way either.
General skincare: 8/10--No complaints in this aspect. Nice cooling effect.
Scent: 7/10--Not bad - not great but still decent.
Price: 10/10--In Russia this cream was very cheap from what I remember.
Would I buy again: 8/10--Possibly, although I'm more of a soap user these days.
Originally the Viking creams were made in Bulgaria but then Russia started producing them. I would say this Russian version is almost as if not just as good as the original Bulgarian version. It has great lather, it smells fairly nice, and although it's not a face-freezer there's still more than enough menthol to be felt. The post-shave feeling is moisturizing and comfortable!
