I'm thinking the Proraso is much better with the DE razors. It is an excellent product, in my book, but just not the same slickness and protection that I'm needing with the straight razors right now.
By the way, does anyone else beside me notice any vague similarities between English Fern and MWF? Part of it may just be my out-of-whack olfactories, but I think they share in two aspects, something about the fragrance, and the quality and protection of the shave.
