I received my package from bullgoose last night, I ordered 100 Iridiums, a blade bank and a large tube of Proraso. I wanted to try it out right away, however I decided to wait till morning so I can have a nice outdoor shower and shave. I awoke at 8 and it was about 50 degrees and the last of the nor'easter had gone. Time for some Proraso! I decided to put on a little opera outside to set the scene. I fired up the shower and the hot water started to make a ton of steam, perfect. After showering I gave my Rudy Vey a half squeeqe and a quick flip and placed a small dollop of Proraso in my small bowl( receiving a dirtybird for Christmas so I have to make do) I whipped it up around 25 laps, and instantly saw a very nice lather developing. I used some of the spray from the shower to add a little moisture and 20 seconds more I had a great lather that rivaled any I produced with the Tabac. I picked up my Red Tip, put in a new Iridium and almost dropped it, damn this lather is slick. Again while doing my WTG, the razor almost slipped when I was changing sides. I found that the blade glided effortlessly in all my passes. I don't know if it was the hot water, or the cold air temperature but the smell and effect of the Menthol was very pleasing. I completed my shave and examined my handiwork, BBS, no nicks. I rinsed, put on some Witch Hazel, and splashed on some cold water, face felt tight and smooth. I then put a little Clubman on to spite my wife 
and began my day. I can't say enough of how much I enjoyed the Proraso. It will be used in a heavy rotation along with my Tabac. In fact I may need to look at adding some glycerine to the Tabac.

. Proraso is great. I often combine it with another creme and some glycerin for some über-fun. And it is amazing.
