Great stuff (ProRaso, green), I have used it daily as an uberlather additive for about 3 years. It also lathers well by itself.
Can be obtained almost anywhere in the US at BBW. Comes in 5 and 10 dollar tubes. I stock up during the buy 2, get 1 free sales.
HTH
Ok, follow up time. How does it lather on its own? What do you mix it with for uberlather?Quote:

I usually use straight soap or cream lather when using my DE razors since shaving is faster.
LOVE This Stuff!
I love the proraso red and use it for a face lather, an almond size amount gives me plenty of lather for 3 passes with plenty in the brush left over. plan on trying some of the bigalow stuff when i run out of red.
I recently got a tube of the CO Bigelow as my old Proraso was up.The first thing I noticed was the menthol/eucalyptus to be less strong and a slight different feel of the cream when lathering up. But in all still a good performer at a very affordable price.
It's not even 7:00 in Vegas, get back in that shop, ya got customers waiting on the next Sprecher Custom! :whipped: :deal: :rofl2:
Just tried it yesterday. Whips up a thick lather with just a dab that shaves great. Nice clean aroma.
Just tried this stuff myself. I love the tingly cool feeling and the cold water rinse is even better. I Love it!!
+1 to what sheajohnw said. I absolutely love the sensation on my face and its so versatile. It seems to easily mix with other stuff.
I liked it so much, I took a chance recently and ordered the Proraso blue cream. I'm equally impressed. IMO Proraso makes great product. I just ordered the aftershave...
Wonderful stuff. Doesnīt get much better.
Actually, I donīt think Iīve tried anything that lathers up as good, or gives as smooth a shave.
TOBS Sandalwood is a close second, but none of my Truefitt & Hill, Musco Real or AoS has given the exact same result.
Beautifull stuff!!
Edit: Actually, MWF matches it, but NOT in the winter months. Canīt get it to work properly these days...
I got some and tried it. it does lather good but for me just a little to cold for this weather. will use again when it warms up some.Quote:
