So i took a members advice while i wait for my straight razor to arrive (shaving with a mach3 atm) and lathered up with proraso white. Kinda felt as if it needed more water than my van der hagen soap but needless to say, i feel like im definately getting the hang of the consistency of my lather. Dont really care for the oats scent on the white proraso. I also bought the green and red, ill give those a go later this week! [emoji41]
You can't go wrong with the green. Cooling menthol, and is easily one of my best soaps for making quick, full, long lasting lather.
Yes sir, the green Proraso has a good menthol cooling kick to it and the red has a sandalwood scent which I found to be on the weak side. They both lather well though. Anytime you switch soaps you may have to adjust your lathering technique as they are all not the same in what they like.

I've not tried the white, but I really like the green and I LOVE the red. Keep pluggin'.
it is a good plan. I think if you have one step mastered before you start adding more it cannot be a bad thing. Sounds like a good time to me and I like that soap.
Proraso red in bowl need more water like white. Proraso blue (only tube) and proraso green work normal. I prefer proraso white because is really good for skin (white line products are for sensitive skin) but the smell of blue tube is very good...
Id like to try the blue in the tube. Guess ill have to deal with my trio of prorasos and vdh 1st lol
Assuming you are speaking of the soaps in the tubs. Green and esp the red rock. The white, meh.
Love my Proraso green and red, A/S, but the white is notsogood, IMO
Some may like it.......Have not seen a discussion on it in a long time.
I've got the blue cream in a tube and it lathers very well. I also have the green tub and love it!
I have tried them all and like the white tub and the blue tube the best! I also second the white's post feel and skin care! :)
I just used the red proraso and loved the scent!!
tube or bowl? when i use proraso red tube the smell was too strong...for me better in bowl :D
I used the bowl
I like the vander hagen luxury soap smell better tho#!
I actually love the white version. I use the green too but the red I hated! Mainly was the scent I hated. But I keep the white on steady supply and would not do without it!
Also being new to this you may want to try some MWF on for size as well. It is a pleasant soft scent and the lanolin makes for a nice gliding shave. I love it!
I would surely use the Proraso before I'd use the VDH. the Proraso makes good lather, as
Mike said though is looking for good soap MWF will be a good one too, now this is all considering that you want to stay with the lower cost soaps , for a little more money there are some really good stuff out there ,,like Tabac. Institute Karitte, but there isn't anything wrong with the Proraso , I used it for a while. Tc
There are just so many options haha. I used proraso green today. That smelled ok and felt good. Out all 3 i like the red the best. Ill definatey check out mwf! Thanks everyone.

I just bought this morning a tube of Proraso Green and a tub of Proraso White, i'll tried the Proraso White tomorow morning and i'll post my review. As for Proraso Green i already used a tub about a year ago and it's a good soap Easy to lather so i bet the cream must be has good.
I had really good result but the scent was so so, as for the lather the results where ok go exempt my error i didn't load enough soap on my brush. I did corect my mistake by adding more soap and the shave went perfect. The post shave was also perfect i've could step out of the sink whitout using after shave or alum block just cold water would do. I used Aqua Velva Sport(green) great match, as for slickness, cushion and protection no doubt it pass the test more then perfect. The only downfall for me is the scent i'm not crazy about it but i couldn't care less the results in general was perfect. GinoQuote:

I really like the scent and post shave skin feel on the White tub but the Red Sandalwood is quite nice also. I'm a bit more meh on the Green. Personal preference and all that. Try them all and find out what you like!
