Lucky Tiger Disappearing Cream vs. Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream

So, I recently picked up both of these products to give them a try and see which I like better. Also, I want to see if I like one or both more than my current favorite AS balm, the Aqua Velva 5-in-1 Sensitive.

They are different products, but not wildly so. The product packaging calls the Disappearing Cream an "After Shave Cream" and the Vanishing Cream an "After Shaving Moisturizer." Also the Lucky Tiger website states that the Vanishing Cream is formulated to "compliment" the Disappearing Cream. Does this mean they expect that both will be used after a shave? What are the performance differences?

Here are some pics of the products from the Lucky Tiger website:

Anyone care to share their experiences with these products? Thanks.
 
It is odd because it says "this refreshing menthol cream" but then it doesn't have menthol in the ingredients
 
@NurseDave and I traded some as I was using the disappearing Cream, but found Dave's advice was spot on and the Vanishing cream was better for me, a bit less menthol and more mint IMHO. I really don't think you can go wrong with either. I also rinse it before my final Aftershave application, although it can be used as a stand alone
 
The Disappearing Cream is interesting. I used it for the first time today. It is harder than I was expecting, but it feels nice on the face. I used it with the AV balm to give it a bit more moisture. So far I like it, but I need to give it a few more uses to really get a feel for it. I do like the menthol in it.
 
I decided to open the Vanishing Cream this morning and give it a try. This is also a very firm, and somewhat dry, cream. Like the Disappearing Cream it has a nice hit of menthol. However, like the Disappearing Cream, I feel like I still need something after applying this to my face. It could be that it just needs getting used to. I think it is more likely that I am just used to having more skin food in my balms. This is a good product, but I don't think I would use it stand-alone. Both the Disappearing Cream and the Vanishing Cream mix well with the Aqua Velva 5-in-1 Sensitive ASB.
 
If anyone wants samples of these creams, please PM me your mailing address. I will send you some of each.
