Thread: Proraso - Green, Red or White? Which should I chose?

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.

It's the same stuff as the Proraso green shaving cream. You can probably get a sample to give it a try. It's normally $10 a tube, and it will last 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.

James

boy that was my favorite shave since i started shaving with a straight. i just ordered the proraso green pre/post, red cream, and white soap. it was that good, i had to see what the others were like!

thanks everyone

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.

Indeed! RazoRock is most awesome! ALL of it!

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.

I think we all have this issue! My 'mentor' Ironsidegnr is already disliked by my wife and she hasn't even met him yet...
