It is a little thin on your face at first but if you leave it on while you strop, remove it and swirl a little more and apply you will find a very nice , luxurious, cushion to go with a light pressure shave.
Thanks Razorfeld!

Water is OK here...been reading a lot about adding glycerin and vitamin E oil, think I'll get some and give that a try.

The Proraso, little bit of water, swirl in the bowl, and it lathers up a storm!! The Col Conk I got a couple of weeks ago lathered up OK, not as good, but was fine, and the glycerin was definitely nice!

Will give it a try and let you know...but hey, it came with a nice ceramic bowl, so it has to be good!! Right!?!

Cheers!
