Thread: Acqua Di Parma Shaving Cream

Hi all im looking for some input from other fellow australians. I have a couple soaps i use but i would like to add a very nice shaving cream to my shaving stuff.

what do you think of Acqua Di Parma Shaving Cream as there is mixed reviews.

also if you think there is something that is better around that cost please suggest it.

cheers adam

The TOBS creams never let me down.
My faves are Lime, Rose, Sandalwood and Eton College.
Available from many Aussie suppliers at around $20.00 per tub.

Hi Adam,

A di P is beautiful stuff but it's seriously expensive. However, don't let me put you off, 'cause if you've got a birthday or some other celebration day coming up this could be the time. See what your wife or gf thinks - take them to David Jones and have a sniff - you may be convinced.

I haven't actually bought any but the reviews are good as regards lathering properties and the scent is fantastic.

Hi Adam,

Can't say I have tried A di P as it's a little expensive for my taste, and I do like to collect lots of soaps and creams with my limited budget.

I like Mike think you can't go wrong with TOBS. I love the Lavender and the Avocado cream particularly.

I also like some of the cheaper soaps and creams, seriously you'll find that price seems to have no effect on quality. Fauldings Shave and Palmolive are incredibly good and all are great performers for daily use, and of course can be picked up at the local IGA or Coles etc for very little (Faldings $2.39 for 75g) . Arko is my favourite soap of all time and it again costs very very little, however I get that from Turkey, and even with the postage it's still incredible value especially if you buy a 12 pack.

My advice is to get a soap acquisition disorder and try as many as possible, you be surprised what you fall in love with.

Enjoy
