From Poland, we have Lider Classic shaving cream which was recently re-named from Pollena Lider Classic. There seems to be no differences in the 2 versions.
Ease of lathering: 10/10--Very easy and enjoyable to work with.
Longevity of lather: 10/10--Great stability in the lather.
General skincare: 8/10--Pretty darn good. Moisturizes and protects quite well.
Scent: 9/10--Lemony and slightly minty. I really enjoy the scent.
Price: 10/10--Cheap as dirt in Poland. Sells for under 2,00$ EUR.
Would I buy again: 9/10--Yes, I see no reason why not.
This is a very pleasant cream and a very honest performer. It's not elegant, but it does smell very nice, lathers great, and helps to give a good and close shave. I cannot understand why it doesn't come in a box!

I've had a chance to use Lider Classic for a few months and wanted to contribute my impressions of it as well.
Lathering:
Lathers easy and quickly. Using a dime sized amount of cream I find that it takes a tad more water to get working (than say CO Bigelow) and provides enough lather for three passes.
The lather is thick and stable enough to give a comfortable shave. While I don't find it particularly moisturizing its not drying either.
Ingredients and packaging:
Its 65 grams of cream and comes packaged in a metal tube with a plastic screw top and as JAYDEE said it doesn't come in a box so the tube can be fairly crinkled by the time you find it on the store shelf. See the picture below for the ingredients.
Scent:
I enjoy the scent – its a lemony sweet that sort of reminds me of Fruity Pebbles cereal though I don't find it overwhelming.
Price:
I got this from a friend who traveled to Poland who confirmed that it is indeed quite cheap there.
Overall:
I'm pleased with this cream out of Poland. While its not a luxury cream by any mean it is quite a nice bargain if you can find it. If there was a stateside source and the price was reasonable I would keep a tube of it around.

I have Lider and had 4711 sample. As my wife like the cream scent she was just ok with 4711. IMO I like them together. My tube of cream is soon off across the pond to a friend. I have unlimited resource of them as my family lives there and it cost like £0.60 to buy it, where they live
Sadly the cream is not working with my face.

I was the lucky recipient of Jacks Lider tube.
I can add absolutely nothing to the reviews here. I have no idea what it costs, but I absolutely agree with the reviews. Really nice stuff!
I need to state upfront that I have extremely soft water.
I worked up an ultralather with it, which was ridiculously easy to do, and it performed flawlessly. I used 2 "squirts", the diameter that it comes out of the tube, maybe 3/8" long (1cm) on each cheek. I bet I could get fantastic results with 1/2 of that. If I try that I'll come back here and post those results.
Lider is a definite keeper.
