Thread: Proraso Red, R.I.P.

It was rumored, there had been denials (including mine), but I finally had it confirmed by my associates in Italy: the Proraso Red cream (Wheatgerm) has been discontinued. No more. Pity, as it was my favorite Proraso: great delicate scent, just enough menthol, superb lather. It is a bad sign of things to come....

I hope they don't discontinue the mentholated pre/after shave cream. Keep us posted so I can go to S&D-M and stock up on'em lol.

If you go to their web site (it's in Italian), it's gone, but the green label is still their.

Well, people really like it, and it's been around forever, so of course they'll discontinue it ... (cough-coates-cough)

I really like the green and haven't tried the wheatgerm version, but I got an email from Barclay Crocker and they have it and it's on sale. Here's the link.

I can get hold of Proraso red from a Dutch wholesaler in barbers' stuff.

150 ml tube will cost $ 10 + shipping. Our national mailservice (TNT) is not cheap.

Insured registered mail to U.S. from 0-2 kg is 22.45.

If there's much demand I can send one lot to one U.S. address for further distribution from there. Let me know.

Also available through an Italian distributor, Tryphon Enterprises ...

Tryphon Enterprises - catalog

$15 +s/h for 150 ml.

Good luck ... maybe you can stock up until they see the light and begin making it again.

That's the OP's own website. Does he still do retail? I was under the impression he had gotten out of the business.

It's been a few months since I've purchased anything from them, but the site seems active. Just follow the ordering instructions or email them.

Proraso red may have been resurrected.
