Proraso - cream or soap

[celishave]

I'm going to buy my first Proraso product in the next few days. I'll stick to the original. Should I go with the cream out of the tube or soap in the tub?

Can't go wrong with either of them - I have both and they work equally well - just buy what you prefer or get them both.

+1

Go with your preference if you like creams or soaps, Proraso is great!

 

[Mr. RazorBurns]

+2 either is an excellent choice. The soap is almost a cream anyway.

Both are very good products, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the cream in the tube. My 2c

Go with cream and make sure you get some of the Non-alcohol after shave. It's great!

I personally like the soap, but just because I like rubbing my brush in the tub rather than squeezing some cream out (just a better shaving experience for me for whatever reason).

i love the soap, never tried the cream.

proraso soap will very likely be my only soap after having tried so many others. the price/performance/feel and skin conditioning can't be beat! Pretty much goes for the rest of their range too!

long live proraso!

Proraso Soap is #1--Top it off with Proraso Splash..

Since I'm still new to this, how long would you say does a tube of cream or tub of soaplast if used every day? I used my C&E soap six days a week since Christmas when I got it as a gift until the end of June and I probably have about 20% left. Would Proraso get a similar long life?

It's a softer soap, so it'll last as long as you let it. (i.e. digging down deep into the tub with your brush vs. just getting the tips covered)

I've had a tube of Proraso that I use atleast 3 times a week for almost 3 months now. I've still got close to a half a tube left. I'd say with daily use and used appropriately, you could expect between 100-120 shaves with it.

I shave every day and I would say that it lasted me around 3 months (150ml or 150gr), so that would be around 100-120 shaves, yup!

I just tried my new tub of the soap today. I think i like it better of course I am comparing it to the Bigelow branded proraso cream which I like and have gotten my coworkers to use thanks to BBW 2 for 1 sale.

Yes! (You asked an "or" question)

Both are good. And the soap is my go to for carry on luggage when flying.

I love the soap! And like the other gents here are saying, it alot like a cream. I have not tried the cream, but can't immagine it being much better. it is one of my favorite soaps. I just get great shaves with it. I dig my brush way into it, and get my brush good and loaded up. I then bowl lather with, something I generally don't do with soaps. This leaves me with a rich creamy, lather.

Top it off with some Aqua Velva, and you will freeze your face. if you want to look a llittle harder, get some osage rub. This morning I used Proarso, aqua velva, and osage rub. Talk about menthol.

 

[Maduro]

I use both and sometimes even make superlather with both of them for extra protection when I'm unsure of a new blade/razor combo.

I would say the only real performance difference I have noticed is that the tube (cream) is more moisturizing than the tub (soap).

 

[Niles]

I use the cream because I like creams better. Like everyone else is saying, you can't go wrong either way.

Good point about the soap.
