    White.

    I have somewhat sensitive also, the green tea and aloe smells nice and doesn't irritate. Layers up well even with my hard water. Tends to like a stiffer brush but I haven't had a problem even with my softer silver tip's. Don't be shy when loading it up....lasts a long time.

While you're there, you can pick up something for your wife.

    BTW, I also have the AOS Sandalwood Shaving Cream, and I agree, it's good, quality stuff. The Proraso/C.O. Bigelow is good stuff too, just different.

    I don't use any pre-shave products, so I can't help ya there.
    Our local B&BW is always out of the C.O. Bigelow shave products, darn it!

    I just received a tube of the Red and a tub of the White along with a scuttle from SRD. I haven't used the red yet, but the white is great. It lathers well (with my Edwin Jagger Best Badger), smells wonderful, and is very kind to my old skin.

    Green sold in the bowl. Not my favorite soap, but I like the one sold in the bowl better than the one sold in the tube or bag.

    I am in the same boat. I used to always have terrible razor burn and very sensitive skin. I use the prorasso white pre-post and white aftershave balm in my daily routine. Works great, smells great and gets the job done.

    stopped at the bath and body works to pick up a tube of co bigelow (thanks for the heads up that its the same as proraso green). 5 bucks for a travel size, perfect to just try it out. im shaving tomorrow morning but couldnt wait to check out the cream so i did a "practice lather" and spread it on my face WOW i think im gonna love it, that cold feeling is just awesome. cant wait to start my morning tomorrow with this stuff, i really hope it performs well, will report back.

    thanks everyone for the input. ive said it before, but this site and its users, really have helped me out alot and help make learning to shave with a straight that much more enjoyable. thanks again.

    If you like the Prorasso soaps, you should look into the RazoRock line of soaps. They are the same type of soft Italian soaps, lather as easily as Prorasso and come in a wide variety of scents. Welcome to SAD.

    I kept (note the past tense) a tube of the green for traveling. SWMBO decided to try it on her legs.
    POOF
    It is now gone.
    Guess I will travel with tubs for a bit.

    Id love to try them all, but the wife already thinks i spent to much money on my new hobby, and if she saw three more tubes of cream she would give me "the look".
    I think we all have this issue! My 'mentor' Ironsidegnr is already disliked by my wife and she hasn't even met him yet...
