I received the cypress 2 weeks I have also used the blue and sensitive proraso offerings. I will say based on my experience it is one of my top performers in slickness and cushioning. I rank it with Jabonman CRSw and MDC. I used it with my ikon el jefe and got superior results. A little size drop creates amazing lather. I really like it on the cold dry mornings. The cost delivered to CAN was a bit high but it will last a long time.
