1. Pre De Provence
2. Provence Sante Green Tea
3. Proraso.. never used it.

Pre de Provence for me is just a notch above Provence Sante. But just barely.

Never used Proraso.

1. Pre De Provence
2. Provence Sante Green Tea
3. Proraso.. never used it.

Ditto. The Pre de Prov. scent is out of this world... soapy + sage and the lather is wonderful.

Thanks. I'm gonna buy MWF in the near future and the place I'm buying from is pretty harsh on shipping, so was looking for what I should add in to make it less of a buzzkill.

Of your three I have only used PdP. It is a very very good one to add to your order.

Provence Sante Green Tea Shaving Soap Refill


My hands down favorite of the 3.

Ditto!!

PdP is tops, the lather is wonderful and the addition of Shea butter just makes it that much better up here in the harsh winters. To me it smells mainly like soap but in a good way.
Green tea is nice but not as good, however for 10 bucks who can really complain.
Proraso is similar to the cream and the soap is rather soft so I would just rather have the cream.

1. Pre De Provence
2. Proraso Green Tea and Aloe
3. Provence Sante- Never tried but it's on my list

I have been very happy with Pre De Provence so far. Shave quality is up there with my tallows. The scent is a very clean scent and my wife loves it.I have the matching ASB which is also top notch. I would compare the PDP to L'Occitane soap with a completely different scent. Maybe it's because they are both are made in France and have loads of Shea Butter.

I have the Proraso White Tea which provides a great shave also. Not on par with the above but still good. Great scent and menthol cooling effects. It says it for sensitive skin but seem to still irritate mine.... YMMV.

PdP, followed by Proraso and Provence Santé. PdP makes my face soooffft and doesn't dry up on me. Proraso white is pretty good but some people might not like the smell... definitely smell the tub before buying...

I like the Provence Sante - but have the vervain/linden version (prefer it to the green tea). I think the PS and PdP are very close in terms of performance and that they are both under-appreciated soaps).

The Proraso is also quite good, but I'd go with either of the PS and PdP before the Proraso. If you haven't tried a soap with shea butter, you should definitely go with either of the French soaps.

PdP is a teensy bit above PS-GT, mostly because of scent reasons. Never tried Proraso, didn't see the need to.
