My 4 year long search is over!

[ATL Jack]

I have been searching for 4 long years for a cream with an old school/musky/spicy/manly scent that does not irritate my face. I have tried just about all of the popular creams and scents from all over the globe and for the last year I have been resigned to the fact that I have sensitive skin and am limited to Proraso, Nancy Boy Signature, and Kiss My Face Cool Mint as the only scented creams that dont irritate my face. But, I have longed for a Grafton/Mr Taylor/Sandalwood type of scent that doesnt irritate.

I am ecstatic to announce that this morning I was treated to a scented shaving cream with the masculine scent I have been searching for. The cream was slick, cushiony, moisturizing, and produced a luxurious lather and wonderful shave. Most importantly, it did not irritate my face.

What is this miracle cream you ask? I am not telling. I dont want any competition for the supply and intent to purchase every tube available.

By the way, if anyone comes across this stuff please let me know so I can purchase it:

I am sure this question has been asked many times and I could probably find the answer searching the forum but I will ask it here anyway: Why isnt Proraso making a sandalwood aftershave?

Congrats on finding something that works for you.

Italian Barber stocks it.

Maybe one day they will make an aftershave.
You can't go wrong with Proraso.

Italian Barber stocks it.

I know where to find it, I was kidding.

I just picked up a couple of tubes of the original today. I'm looking forward to trying this new type. Congrats on your discovery.

I rather like it. It is one of the few creams I use on a sorta regular basis.

A really excellent cream. By the way, here's a tip that might work for you. Before using a heavily scented cream like Grafton, try rubbing something like this on your skin for a minute first: http://www.drugstore.com/giovanni-s...ce-free-and-aloe-for-sensitive-skin/qxp370314

I have found that fragrance free preshaves do wonders for me! Like you, I am very sensitive to heavily scented soaps/creams, but yearn for them! But something like giovanni or Taylor of Old Bond Street pre-shave gel, forms a protective barrier on my face and also dilutes the shaving cream so I get no irritation. Plus Giovanni is absolutely loaded with skin goodies to sooth, heal and moisturize (aloe, shea butter, safflower oil, vitamin a/c/e, etc.). Hope this helps!

Until they release it in a soap (tub) this may be the only cream I have in the den. But as you can tell I love Proraso!

I am happy you have found bliss

Good for you! I've been having this same problem. I use TOBS Sandalwood but it irritates me slightly. Not enought to discontinue using it however. I must try this Proraso now!
