Supermax Ultimate 3 cream

lagaffe · Friday February 3, 2012

Picked up a tube of 'Supermax Ultimate 3' Bulgarian-made shaving cream for the princely sum of Â£1 in Poundland today, purely to see what it was like.

I shaved with it tonight and was pleasantly surprised - it's damn good stuff! Lathers up quickly, producing a slick, cushioned, lubricating lather with a very pleasant, light perfumed scent. My skin felt extremely soft, supple & moisturised aftewards too.

I think I might just pop by later in the week and pick up a few more to put away in my stash....

Hi,
As I posted in August last year -
"...a tube costing 29p for 100g in Manchester Arndale"
It was the now closed down "Hub" near TKMAXX (I've bought a few).
I use it around once a fortnight, realising how little is needed (around half what toothpaste I use), just how much water it needs and that you need a really good rinse. I tried my "travel" (camping) method with it and it was superb - wash face with tiny amount of the cream, hydrate small amount in hands, massage in for a couple minutes repeatedly wetting hands and shave,
I don't know, but my guess is that it's 99% foaming agents, so I also always use a little Epiderm afterwards.
love'n'joy
Lloyd

I'm pretty impressed by this stuff too. Seems to have replaced the Erasmic cream in my local Poundland but is better value.

Interesting... Here in the US it's easier to buy their rifles than their shave cream. (they do make some nice rifles).

Picked up a tube today (first time I've seen it in my local Poundland) and will give it a (s)w(h)irl tomorrow

Not really impressed. Lathers quickly but it's not a thick, protective lather, it's more like a foamy airy one that gets pushed around with the brush strokes. Face feels a bit rough today and I used my personna injector II blades again to compare with yesterday's shave with the mama bears lime ice. Opposite ends of the spectrum.
The scent is a cheap non-descript chemical one. Not great but for the price tolerable. Shame the cushioning isn't.
Well, I'll give it another run tomorrow.

I didn't know there were Super Max creams like that. It seems Super Max has a ton of products that you just can't find anything out about them online. Nothing concrete anyway. I have some Super Max foam-in-a-can that was made in Mexico for Super Max Canada.
