I've been testing Lucky Tiger brushless shave cream for several days now as a possible substitute for Proraso pre-post shave. I am very impressed. It not only gives me some of the closest BBS shaves I have ever had, but when followed up with my aftershave balm leaves my skin as soft as a baby's bottom. Lucky Tiger is definitely a keeper in my shaving book.
