Call me newbie, rookie, moron, whatever, I can take it. If you noticed I referred to my "tub of prorasso" in my earlier post. This was not a misprint for tube, the online store I purchased this from said it was the same cream as in the tube but in an easier to use jar. After a miserable shave with this stuff I thought you guys were nuts. The razor head stuck to my skin, not slick at all. I figured something was wrong, where's the menthol burn it's supposed to be famous for and why does the razor not effortlessly glide across my face? In a moment of pure self control, right before I was about to post how wrong you "proraso freaks" are, I double checked the lid. Shave soap. I knew about this product and that it's not as well loved as the original so I avoided it, I thought. Needless to say, I'm not happy about this, there will be a reckoning! In conclusion, my verdict is still in limbo untill I get the real stuff, I'll let you know.
