At the moment my favourite of the trio is the Wood & Spice. I only have the (superb) cream, but I'm considering getting also the AS balm and cologne.
By the way, in the Azur Lime cologne which is the dominant scent? And does it have good longevity?
Marco, regarding the W&S, I have the AS and cologne, and both are great. They smell just like the cream, and the cologne lasts for several hours on me.
Can't help you on the Azur Lime, though, but I expect the cologne would have the longevity as the W&S.

Marco when coupled with the balm I can get about 4-5 hours with it becoming a skin scent at about 3 however that depends on how much you used. The top is very much fresh lime, not sweet, but is mixed with a bergamot, and some orange as well, there is also a light spice component as well Similar to Royall Lyme, however the Lime, and Orange make is different. Very refreshing. I love it, Just hope the soap comes soon.
Beautiful shave today with Proraso blue, a Mondial boar brush, Fatip razor, Floid Amber, and Proraso blue balm. The blue cream/balm and the Floid amber scents complement each other so brilliantly!
I begin to suspect, that the Proraso croap might last more than the cream. After 16 shaves, my Proraso white tub is at less than 1cm distance from the rim. More like 0.5-0.7cm. And i load it for 40 seconds and everytime i have some leftovers in the bowl. At this pace, this might go over 100 shaves. 
Shame i didn't keep track of the 2 creams, but being a statistics junkie, starting from the White and on, i will keep number of shaves for every new product i open.

My friends, what do you think of the newest shaving mug by Proraso? I'm tempted to get one...

Nice! Green is my favorite of theirs and I like the knob style of handle as opposed to a loop like a coffee mug. The lion and straight razor detailing is cool. I'd be nervous that those inside ridges might be a little rough on bristles but they'd definitely help whip up a lather. It also looks plastic which isn't a problem as long as it feels solid and the price is right. I want one.

It is made of sturdy plastic, hence it is unbreakable. Size is 11.5 cm width and 8 cm height. Price point here in Italy is about €11/12. Everything seems just right. 
I'm a face latherer, dont use mugs, but I must say, this looks expensive. 11€ for plastic mug, with that line across the knob, left from the mold... It looks nice, but cheap.
I agree it looks cool yet a little cheap. Strange enough in Spain is cheaper at €7.50, closer to a fair price for what it is.

I think I want to see it in my hands before judging or pulling the trigger. Thank you for your comments, Gentlemen.
I prefer holding the bowl from below, but i guess this is a matter of taste. What i am not sure about is whether the protrusions inside the bowl will be good for the health of the brush bristles and about whether lathering will become a bit too annoying when the brush will be banging against the protrusions constantly. I don't know, if it was a plain mug without the protrusions inside, i think i would have liked it more.
I'm a little rough on Proraso recently unfortunately, but I have to agree, that looks really cheap and quite overpriced. Could be just me, but, I just can't see why anyone would want plastic lathering bowl to start with.
Most people are forgetting that mugs like this are not just for bowl lathering.
I'm exclusively a face latherer, but often use something similar as a "loading" mug. A mug like this is perfect for Stirling (or any other) soap samples, or soaps like Fine Accoutrements that don't come in a bowl. Plastic makes it less fragile than ceramic as well.

For €11, I think this is worth it and I've been looking to order one to bring with me overseas without worry of breaking it. I have no concerns about the interior ridges affecting any of my brushes. If it were €20-€30, it would be way overpriced, but for the cost of a cup of espresso in Rome (from what I hear) it's worth a shot IMO.
