It was my first soap and still like it a lot.
Proraso is just full proof for me. I got great lathers even when I first started traditional shaving. The red was my second soap.
Hey Walter, I'd love to see a pic of your scuttle :D
Proraso red is one of my absolute favorites. I have all the proraso soap scents. Blue, red, green, and my second favorite- white. The white I've only found in the tub and it has a nice lemon citrus smell to it with the menthol eucalyptus that proraso green sports, but a little milder. It's a morning soap for sure, really wakes you up and wonderful on a warm or hot day. Attachment 172901That 500ml bag of green I picked up in Italy last year for an American equivalent of $7 :deal: the stuff is dirt cheap over there! I'll be bringing back more next one I travel to Europe. I got it at a barber supply shop. It's used in their hot lather machines.
Blue smells like an old spice body wash/shampoo or something. It's lather is ultra slick. Slickest of the proraso creams. Some people find it's scent an acquired taste.
I just tried Proraso tonight for the first time I got the Red , Great stuff ! I got a really close shave and my skin feels really smooth .
gonna have to try it...btw, anyone have ant expericence with the cremo shaving cream?
gonna have to try it...btw, anyone have any expericence with the cremo shaving cream?...how do these two compare?...thanks for the input...
Love the glide and the cushion but not so much the scent. When I want sandlewood I go to Mama Bear or SRD soap.
I really don't think they are comparable as Cremo is a brushless cream. I remember trying it and being disappointed with it using a brush. I added it with another soap/cream for an uberlather and that worked well IIRC. Seem Mantic had a similar experience with it Shave Like a Pro Without Emptying Your Wallet: Cremo Cream .
