Are these Proraso Green old formula?

[CanuckShaver]

I was at a local pharmacy and saw these Proraso green tub and cream. I'm assuming these are the old formula that I've read about. I opened a tub and the smell is the same as the one I'm using but it looks shrunken, probably due to age. Can anyone please confirm? Any advantage to using these or is it worth trying?

There is also an Omega tub on the side, it had a strong menthol smell but was also shrunken like the proraso tub.

Yes, those are the old tubs.

I've only tried the white in the tub form, but I can confirm that the green tube works like a hot damn, super slick. Supposedly is more mentholated than the new formulation.

Also nice to add a dab to give a weak lather some extra "oomph".

Boy those are really funky looking.

I would think they would love to get rid of all of them for a few $$ rather than have to pay to throw them out

Yes, that is the old formula. Of course it's good, but the new one IMHO is much better: slicker lather, more skin friendly ingredients and no parabens. The only regret is the strong "menthol kick" of the old Proraso which the new one simply does not have anymore.

That's unfortunate, I love Proraso for the menthol. I wish they put a lot more menthol in it. I'm going to have to get my menthol fix elsewhere.

The scent of the new version isn't as good either, it smells musty.

WOW. Wish pharmacy around where I live carried things like that, only shaving cream you find says barbasol on the side!

Has anyone tried adding menthol to an existing product to "kick it up"?

It's the Main Drug Mart, southeast corner of Bathurst and Finch, there's a strip mall there. Price is $7.49 for both the tube and tub.
