I just used the Proraso Blue cream a few days ago for the first time. RG's review is spot on. It immediately produces a great slick, cushioning lather, even in my rock hard water. There is just enough menthol to help out. I also agree that a little goes a long way. I could have easily done two 3-pass shaves. The "Blue" will stay in the Den.
