In the past, before 1989, Bulgaria was part of social countries community (USSR, Poland, Hungary, East Germany..). Cold war, blah blah. All countries was specialized in some industry for international market in this community. We produced all cosmetics for Russia and USSR at all. I was kid and can`t remember shaving creams then, but I still remember the smell of Karo cream, when my dad shaved with it. Most shaving creams today, produced in Bulgaria are exported to Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Serbia. Even with different labels. They are just popular from years there, and have good market. p.s. Каро is typed with cyrilic letters and is pronounce Karo in english

Since I haven`t tried never brushless cream, are there any difference between lather creams and these one. Can I use my regular creams without a brush, like brushless? Thanks !

In theory you could, but to me that seems like it would lose a bit of the mystique of shaving. I mean after all, how else could I justify needing more brushes if the cream doesn't need one? To be honest, I have tried on Cremo shave cream, it was the sandlewood scent. Stated it was designed for use with a brush, but the lather just falls apart.
I mainly use it now to boost pit a scent on my Barbasol cream. I'd hate to give it away knowing it doesn't lather. I'm confident that both those brands are good quality, and would lead to a great shave, after all technique trumps tools, but still if I can't use a brush I do t want them.

I am not a fan of the brushless shaves. You spread it on and it is slick. I just prefer to build lather and brush it on.

I'm not a fan of brushless creams either. Takes an age old tradition of shaving and makes it feel cheap to me and less authentic.

Karo Fresh seems to change formulation with D-panthenol instead Menthol. New cream is already on local stores, I made some photos for comparison old and new version :
I have for now enough creams and soaps, so I`ll pass to buy this one in near future

I guess that cools like Menthol. Sounds too chemical though.
