I had been using Proraso liquid cream for a while and although it worked wonderfully, this stuff is even better, 6 dollars cheaper and locally available.
Price: 10 dollars at Bath and Body Works, that's 6 dollars cheaper than Proraso and I don't have to pay for shipping.
Quality: An excellent after shave with quality ingredients that does what it needs to do, and then some more. I like the fact that it has witch hazel which helps a lot with razor bumps.
Fights razor burn: Yes, what else can I say.
Cooling sensation: I don't think that applies here since it isn't a splash. Although there are few exceptions here and there, this isn't one of them.
Scent: A solid 10. I normally look for unscented aftershaves because most of them have a "cheap macho" scent. ths stuff, however, doesn't smell cheap and the smell is VERY discrete, it's not like you are going to walk into a room and everyone will know you just shaved. The scent doesn't overstay its welcome either so if you want to smell like like a cheap macho man all day long then this isn't for you.
Efficacy: 10/10, works good and works fast.
Moisturizing: Another solid 10. Great aftershave for winter time. Summer use isn't an issue either since it's not extra thick and it absorbs quick. However, I would prefer an alcohol based splash during the hot and humid months.
No alcohol burn: I'd give it a 9/10. It has some alcohol but it doesn't normally burn unless I nick myself or have some irritation. When it does burn it's much, MUCH milder than an alcohol based aftershave. I think those with sensitive skin can still enjoy this aftershave.
Bottomline: fairly priced, available locally, quality ingredients, nice discrete scent and extremely effective. A winner for me.
