Well,
after a few years of hearing how great Proraso Shave Soap is, I finally got around to trying it. Up 'till now I've been using VdH, Williams (and YES it does lather & work well for me) Mamma Bears and a few others along the way. VdH has been my go-to soap for many years now (since I've used up all my O/S & Colgate) and I have been very happy with it. For the price it's just plain hard to beat!
So I finally got off my butt and ordered the Green Proraso in the tub. I REALLY did NOT WANT to like it because I have no more room left in my shave Den and don't need more clutter around here. Well........... I could not help but like it. It lathered easily, gave an exceptionally well protected - 3 pass BBS shave, even with a blade that should have been replaced. I face lather and had to guess how much to load the brush with, but now next time I'll know. The smell is just like you guys have reported, NOT over powering but pleasant, and it leaves your face smooth as a baby's butt!
The next time I order I'll get a few of them (Royal Shave pay's the freight over $25.00) which will bring the cost down, and now thanks to you guys I'll be straightening out my shave den to try & find some room! I hope Proraso does not come out with the Red stuff in Tub form!!
