Russian Viking " Snowy Peaks " cream vs. Bulgarian Viking "Active " cream.Both contain menthol ,the more cooling face feel goes to Bulgaria. Both smell great.The RV has a very potent scent , and it's a good bright & sunny perfume / light citrus type ,potency equals that of Park Ave. and Yardley Indian creams. BV has a more subdued traditional soapy coumarin,light citrus scent. The lube , glide and longevity of the BV cream is excellent , however the RV cream is truly a triumph of shave cream formulation ! I added lots of water to the RV cream ,it swallowed every drop,it's more concentrated than the Brazilian creams. A small dollop lasted through a long face shave with many passes, then a head shave ,and I still had lather left over !! . Very comforting and soothing , this is really a stellar performer ,and at this writing , dirt cheap from an American vendor at $1.60 per tube.There is a Sensitive version as well..The Bulgarian Viking is excellent , no doubt , but the Russian Viking will go toe-to-toe with the worlds finest creams , regardless of price....
