Just used proraso for the first time
Wow, ive never been one for the cooling products but this felt great. The cold water splash at the end of the shave...
The lather definitely developed peaks after some whipping action with my shavemac 177. But it did seem a bit slick, i think i may have to alter the water/cream ratio to get it just right.

This was my first cream in my venture into wet shaving. It is definitely one of my favourites. I love the scent and it's just so easy to use. If you got the tube with the plastic top, be careful with it. The top breaks very easily.
Try coupling it with the Proraso aftershave.

Proraso ?
I love the stuff ... It's the overall best I've tried so far.
Plus I dig that menthol.

I really like the tube cream. You enablers really have to stop. I have no more room for anything else!

I've been using Proraso for DE shaving for a couple of years and really enjoy it. Can't wait to use it with my Dovo Str8 razor starter kit as soon as it gets here.

I bought a tube of Proraso cream a couple of weeks ago, and decided to try it out. I'd heard it was simply a differently-labelled version of an Omega product. I've had some rather average shaves with Omega soaps, so was pleasantly surprised to find that the Proraso cream offered a sh**loaf more slick than Omega. The shave I got from the Proraso was clearly superior to that offered by the Omega. I'm definitely a convert to Proraso now, especially for when I want a cooling shave (for example it could be rather useful this summer just coming (we're just at the end of spring here in NZ)).

I use the C.O. Bigelow shave cream that is sold at Bath and Body. I heard it is the same stuff, so I went and bought some. Been using it since. Great smell, and that eucalyptus when you rinse is... WOW! My technique is to swirl some fragrance-neutral non-comedogenic soap (like Cetaphil) onto my brush first, and then work up the cream. This makes an uber lather that is fantastic!
