Thread: New Proraso...has anyone tried it yet? What about Muhle or Dovo shave soap/cream?

I don't think so either. I was at Shoppers last weekend and all they had was the green and white for soap and green only for cream. Business as usual it would seem.

I am going to ask at the neighborhood Shoppers on Monday if they will bring it in for me on their next order. Nothing to loose.

Shooter: Is this (see picture) the Proraso you are talking about?

If so, I've used it for years, and it is always a part of my travel kit. It is a great soap that makes a good lather easily.

Proraso made changes to the formula to eliminate parabins in it. this is what the new packaging looks like Proraso - Newly formulated Italian Shaving Cream, Paraben Free, Silicon Free, No Mineral Oils, No SLS, No artificial colours . I use the old stuff quite often too and like it very much. I think the concern is whether or not the new formula performs as well as the old.

Bob

I've never tried the old formula but everything I've read about the new formula is that it performs at least as good, if not better, than the old formula. Some people say it smells the same and some people notice a slight difference in the scent.

The "paraben" is not a wax (wax is paraffin). It is a preservative that has been shown to have an effect on hormones. Also, some people (including my Aunt's cancer doc) believe that it can cause breast cancer, although I don't think there is any definitive proof of that.

I tried this: http://www.amazon.com/Proraso-Shavin...so+shave+cream

And I didn't like it at all. YMMV. I got my money back from Amazon. (Yes, it's available at Amazon) I found mine nothing like the old proraso, and not even close to Sandalwood. Good luck....

P.S. I changed the "dirty dish rag remark"

I have heard that time and time again... so much so that I haven't taken the plunge. And that's rare lol

I believe the new formula is in a matte tub (mine is anyway)...i kno the old proraso was in the glossy tub like the one pictured. Only difference i can tell is scent...performance is still good in any water i have encountered

shaved with proraso red earlier today, Had a awesome lather very easily from it, scent is not my favorite but left my skin feeling awesome and it gave the shave a great cushion.
