Last November I posted this tongue-in-cheek thread regarding the fact that I seemed to be going through my second bottle of Proraso Liquid Cream much faster than I went through my first bottle.
For whatever reasons, I've kept all my empty bottles of this AS. I guess it's just because so few things come in quality glass packaging anymore. Anyway, my first empty bottle looks different from my second and third. When finished, almost all of the product was gone leaving clear glass. On my second and third bottles, some of the product stuck to the sides leaving the glass opaque.
I'm wondering if something in the formula was altered in such a way that the thickness of the product was changed, thus accounting for how much was coming out of the bottle when I used it and also how much stuck to the sides.
Aside from how long a bottle lasted and whether or not the product stuck to the sides, the scent and performance was always the same. However, I've noticed a stark difference in scent and performance in my fourth bottle which I recently purchased. To me, Proraso Liquid Cream has always had a very light, smooth, and almost sweet scent. It was always very soothing with no sting at all. My current bottle has a stronger, almost spicy scent, and there is a definite sting when I apply it.
Has Proraso changed something (twice?) since I started using it last year, or is there perhaps an inconsistency between production batches? Or maybe I'm just crazy altogether.
