The Vicco is (unfavorably) reviewed here on this forum, and Godrej is not.
There used to be many Ayurvedic shave creams, and a few soaps, but I haven't been to India since 1974 so I'm not current.
I was hoping to hear from an Indian forum member, he would most probably have my answer.
Thank you for responding.

sorry took time to respond,
there is a big player in the Indian market called Forest essentials they have come out with a range of shaving products, their ingredients are pure and well regarded in the Indian market
This one costs about $20, which in India is super pricey for a shave cream
performance wise, lovely lingering fragrance with sandalwood oils added, good post shave feel, average cushion and slick
The other one is biotique bio palmyra about 4 dollars and decent value for money
performance wise in both these creams, the only selling strength or novelty I see is the ayurvedic formulation
I still prefer my B&M, Xpec, shop stroppe etc over these creams anyday
Godrej, Old Spice and palmolive which cost a dollar each are easily available and cater to the huge middle class Indian market while FE and biotique are more targeted towards the high income Indian,

My understanding is that Ayurvedic is akin to Organic or natural - someone correct me if i'm wrong?
Ayurvedic is more like a healing, medicinal lifestyle. So Vicco SC is ayurvedic because it contains turmeric. Turmeric is very medicinal and antibacterial to ones body. Same thing applies to Sandalwood too. Hope that helps.

AyurVeda
the Hindu art of healing discovered thousands of years ago
is actually Sanskrit
Ayur means Life
Veda means science
"the science of life"
encompasses healing through
mind body and soul
believes all cures lie in nature, no chemicals and is very individualistic

This brush lathering cream shows up from time to time.A few years ago I picked up a 175 gr tube for 3 bucks.It has a nice soapy-floral scent with good slickness and cushion with some skin conditioning qualities.I don't have a lot of creams but I rank this better than Derby or the discontinued Palmolive but not as good as Barbon.IMO

Agave is a natural healing medicine, so I suppose Tequila would be ayurvedic? Works for me, but remember, ask your Doctor if Tequila is right for you.
