IMHO the sandalwood from proraso is one of the best. The closet where I shave smells only to sandalwood since I buy one one month ago!

The Proraso Red absolutely rocks, one of my all time favorite soaps...for it's cost, it stands in a class all it's own....

Somethings are worth the extra time and effort. Wish I had more time :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

I have to agree that Proraso Red is a heck of a soap, especially for the money.

I was using the green for a long while. Used it up and decided to reorder. Saw the red and got it as well. GREAT stuff!
It is supposedly formulated for heavy beards. It surely does wonders with a 4 day beard!Walterbowens likes this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Walter, I have been slowly coming around to the idea of a scuttle and this post has convinced me to get one !!

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 haven't tried the Red yet. When I'm in the mood for menthol I use the green, green all the way with the pre-shave and the soap. I just ordered the aftershave. For the money, the Proraso product is fabulous. Likely I'll try the red next after running out the green.
I also use a George Town scuttle and I am completely spoiled. Pre-heat the scuttle and soak the brush, then refill with hot water or even microwave if you want. Hot lather from shave start to shave finish; the water is still hot when I empty the scuttle and clean it up.
For a fabulous beard prep, I'll apply the Proraso green pre-shave and then whip up some lather and apply that next. Last the whole thing gets covered by a hot towel heated in the microwave. I usually do that in parallel while the scuttle is pre-heating. The whiskers are then so soft it seems more like they give up than get shaved off.
Good to hear the other Proraso products are just as good. Enjoy the scuttle it will be hard not to!
Best,

I love the red. It's one of my favorites, and will always have a spot in my den
