I gotta say, I think the white cream scent blows away most other soaps I've tried. I feel like green and red gets the most kudos, but the white is so darn refreshing. Oatmeal and Green tea, however, I get lime notes dominating. I'm surprised I've never read others saying the same.

I agree , I love all three , but I think the white is my favorite.
I enjoy the red in the colder months when the stronger sandalwood smell is not as overwhelming. In the winter, I prefer the white over the red. My favorite, though, is the blue. I tried the green, but was unimpressed by the scent as well as how little eucalyptus/camphor feel it seemed to have. The green makes a good travel soap in that if I lose it, I won't become too upset.
Enjoyed a thoroughly excellent shave today with Proraso Green! I'm also on the last dregs of this soap so that will be 3017'd in the next day or two. Proraso Red will be up next.
Happy shaves everyone!

I'm in...Proraso Sensitive for me.
Some Background Info is needed here;
Williams was my first soap and after many, many years of using different soaps (i.e., ‘trail & error’), I finally found myself as a
VDH Deluxe man.
After quite a spell using Deluxe, I tried the Luxury Scented and then finally switched to Proaso Sensitive as my 'go to soap' and
what a difference!!
Pictured is my Omega 10049 Professional Boar Brushes (bigger brush, larger knot, higher loft,...great for hands [i.e., bear claws
]), like mine with the onset of getting older.
And my Sears & Roebuck® Catalog Ceramic Shaving Mug w/ 3in Knockout test (plumbers), cap as a Lid.

Well, it’s been ten years and no blue in a tub, yet.
Hello to all B&Brs,
Somehow over the years I've never stated my long-standing, fond appreciation of all things Proraso. It is therefore fitting that I now permanently reside in Italy and live not far from the Proraso home base of Firenze (Florence). To draw some contrast to it being a speciality product outside of Italia, it is available in practically all product lines in the supermarket. Thankfully, the "old school" soap, the rebranded Omega boar brush, and the tubes of cream are almost always available as well. It's often said "we want what we can't have", but despite the vast availability here, these products happily remain my daily drivers, specifically the "green" lines (sapone da barba, crema da barba & lozione dopobarba), as well as the boar brushes. Happy shaving to all!

I have one other Italian soap that I like a little better than Proraso, but it costs over three times as much!
I'm sure that I would be perfectly happy if all that was available was Proraso.

White in the tub was my first ever shaving soap and nothing I’ve tried has beaten it to date. I would really like a shower soap with that identical clean, invigorating scent. I don’t suppose there are any recommendations? Do they happen to make shower soap?
I have boxes of soaps and creams in storage, so I'm reluctant to purchase anything other than what's essentially my go-to soap until I can access the rest of my shave den. At 2,55 € ($2.80 US) local price a tub, it tends to further justify buying it!
Opted for Proraso Red today and it was a belter!
Merry Christmas

Used Proraso early on in my shaving days but went away from it as I tried other soaps and creams. Just picked up Super Formula Blue and Green tubes a couple of weeks back. They both are very nice performers. It has either gotten better or I just forgot how good Proraso is. I’m liking the Blue a tad better than the Green, but both are really good. Glad to have Proraso back in the den.
Proraso has always been good!
I cannot disagree. When I absolutely need a 100% reliable shave, it is my soap of choice. If I had to choose 1 for the rest of my days it would probably be the green.Proraso has always been good!
I will have to try the Blue one day but I love the Green so much that I would almost feel unfaithful
