    Default Omega Eucalyptus Cream and Soap questions

    Anyone tried or use this regularly?

    I like eucalyptus shave creams, particularly C.O. Bigelow. The Omega looks promising. $4.99 for a 100ml tube, or a 150ml tub if you choose the soap sounds like a great deal.
    For those of you that use it, how would you rate it? How does it compare to C. O. Bigelow or Proraso?
    Thanks.

    It's right up there (ow $7.49 at Amazon); very light on the eucalyptus and very nice on the moisture and glide. Load a wet brush tip in 30 seconds and see lather on yo face ready to shave in a minute. I like it.

    i imagine the OP has either tried it or given up on a reply by now, but you are right i think it is pretty good

    A bit rare for a cream/soap question to go unanswered. There is a post in SOTD on Omega creams.

    I have and use the soap very good indeed, as is Proraso (Which I think is the same)

    You don't hear much about Omega so I'll bring it up again. Bought a tub of it wile on holidays and found I enjoyed it very much. Loved the eucalyptus scent and got a nice thick slick lather from it. I think it is similar to Proraso green in the lather it produces but the the scent is slightly different. I think it is well worth a try.
