5.0 fl oz (150ml) Scent of vanilla and cream. Great for those who can't get/don't like lathering. Doesn't leave skin oily like other gels/creams I've tried.
Calypso Shaving creme is Al's classic Bay Rum Scent. Al describes Calypso as Cool, Refreshing, Bracing. The scent begins as a mild grassy Bay Rum, but once lathered the the smell of Bay Leaves, Cloves, and Cinnamon fill the room.
Having used and loved Al's Shaving Cremes I tried the Knockout Shave Creme Samples. Complicated was my favorite. They use Al's creme base with different essential oils to create unique scents.
The Comlicated scent is a combination of rosewood, sweet orange, patchouli, ylang ylang, oak moss, lavender, and grapefruit essential oils.
Knockout is thirst creme, it lathers up thick, rich,and slick.

Another inexpensive shaving cream from India. Comes in 2 varieties, 'sporty lime' and 'party spice'. The scents are very pleasant, the lime is that of fresh lime while the spice is a mild musk.
They both contain shea butter and produce great slick lather. Like many creams from India they are quite concentrated and a little goes a long way. The post shave feel with these parallel that with Proraso red and the Pre de Provence soap.
I picked these up in 2 different towns in Tamil Nadu...

This is the 150 ml Proraso 'Green' Cream new formulation, which has not been 'officially' reviewed.
The new formula, manufactured by Ludovico Martelli s.r.l. in Firenze, no longer contains parabens (amongst other ingredients) and the prepackaging logo has gone 'retro' along with the addition of barber stripes.
At a price starting at about €2 (~$2.75) and an average range of about $6-10 in the US, this cream provides amazing protection, lathering and glide for the money. It is the 'Go...
This is my first experience with The Holy Black and their shave cream. I ordered the 4oz Sandalwood smoke. The amber jar it's packaged in is nice, it seals well but that's where my positive experience ends. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed with this product almost all the way around. The label on the jar I received was not as pictured on their site. It was pieced together from 2 different labels stuck together, they didn't even match, and they aren't anywhere near water...
