    Did you really throw it in the garbage? Don't you know anyone in real life who might have use for it?

    I did. there wasn't a whole lot left in the tube. Maybe enough for 3 shaves. 4 tops. I bought it when I was making entirely too much lather so I plowed through most of the tube quickly. If it were a mostly-full tube I would have given it away.

    You should have saved it and mixed some in with the Bigelow lather. Lemon and menthol make an awesome scent combo.

    If you're liking the Proraso kick you should pick up some Proraso Pre/Post cream to use before lathering and shaving with the soap.

    Or you could use what I call the "All Proraso System" - pre/post, soap AND the aftershave splash. Menthol at its finest!

    +1 on the QCS Vostok. It's some great stuff. Slick and cold!

    Another big rec for the Godrej Menthol Mist. It's my son's favorite cream, too-very sweet/spicy scent and COLD! The lanolin is a nice for the skin too. A nice cheap, complementary after-shave that pairs well with the Mist is Aqua Velva Ice Blue, which you can probably get at the drug store down the street. I've also been meaning to try that Queen Charlotte Vostok.
    There are many roads to sharp.

    i just used some sub zero preshave balm from shave den. it does have a nice menthol punch to it. as far as the preshave...it was nice...not sure if its a rebuy....it was kinda oily and i had to wash my hands with soap to remove it from my fingers. proraso preshave seems to come off cleaner.
