Just tried Proraso!

[VT_Hokie]

This stuff is GREAT!

Before this, the only splash I had in my den was AV Ice Sport and SWMBO and I both like it a lot. However, my AD got the better of me and I ordered 4 decants from an online vendor.

I ordered the following

1) Spanish amber Floid Vigoroso
2) Italian amber Floid
3) Italian Floid blue
4) Proraso

I put my sniffer to all of these and instantly determined that my young sniffer prefered the Proraso and Floid Blue over the other two. The amber's were not pleasing to me and smelled like it belonged on someone older. Never put any to my face, just wanted to get a feel for them.

Anyways, I had a bit of a den clearing and was selling both of the Amber's when the buyer asked if I had any Floid Blue, I told him I did and off all 3 of them went leaving only the Proraso behind.

So I had a beautiful shave tonight and I followed it up with my decant of Proraso and it was amazing!

What I came here to ask was if anyone had any recommendations for other AS's in that same scent range? Thanks in advance gents!

You'll probably like Speick Aftershave, The Gentleman's Quarter After Shave, Mediterrean Citrus from St. Charles Shave, and Pitralon (original)

I've heard nice things about Speick. How would you describe the scent?

I recently got the Poraso AS because I enjoy the shaving cream so much and was favorably impressed.

Herbally and citrus. No Beckam/Usher flower bombs here, it's all male.

I find it kind of like a warm, but crisp, light orange citrus scent. A brilliant performer as well.

Sounds nice! I think that will be next on my list

You got some of the best splashes available there, i've got the two Italian floids and prorasso as well and they really are excellent. As the other reviewer said get yourself some speick as well, you won't be sorry.

I have seen this site before but never took a detailed look.

The fact that they sell what looks like an IV bag full of Proraso cream makes me want to buy from them, but it looks like a lot of their stuff is out of stock.

Proraso is great stuff...I prefer the balm over the splash, but the whole line of products is great.

Just checked out that site...that 500ml bag of Proraso is no joke...they even have a 400ml bottle of the splash!

Shaving.ie have both for less. Shipping may get you though.

Aftershave

Proraso Shaving Cream Barber Size

About $18 cheaper if you get both now and your shipping should be nowhere near that much.

Probably cheaper elsewhere too if you have a good look.

Edit: after some research I don't think it's all that much cheaper although I don't know the shipping charges for superlather.com

The only problem I have with Proraso is that the scent doesn't linger for very long.. But alas it's only an aftershave and not a cologne!
