Been using it for while now, and it's a great soap. From reading stuff on furoms I thought it was s subpar soap That people start with and move on from. It's really quite good. It's one of my favorites now. Few things I don't like are 1.scent could be stronger, and 2. Do t like that it's loose in the container and how it narrows at the bottom.

I'm really starting to like mass produced soaps and creams better over artisans. Still like my artisan soaps , but the mass produced is just as good if not better sometimes. Can't beat some classics.

I enjoy some of the mass produced soap makers as well, particularly Truefitt and Hill and TOBS. For the most part, I would agree that artisans are generally higher quality, however.

I like Proraso. Kinda boring but it's reliable. I still use my Proraso from time to time.

I usually thing Proraso is a bit boring as well, but recently used the Sandalwood soap for the first time in a very long time, and the shave went well and was surprised that I had waited so long to revisit this soap. Bottom line, it cant hurt to revisit a soap later on in the future and see if technique or performance has improved.

Good to read something positive about Proraso for a change. I started with artisan soaps and I got overwhelmed. It seems like more are popping up all of the time and I only have so much space, time, and money. I started getting burned out due to all of the options and constant recommendations, but I've been thinking about going back to the basics and trying some factory soaps like Proraso, a step that I skipped when I started out.

I'm still going to keep trying new artisan soaps and there are some that I will continue buying as long as they're made since I've come to really enjoy them. I just really have to get around to trying the factory stuff. Are the Proraso creams just their soaps in a tube or are they different altogether? I remember Proraso calling their own creams "soaps in a tube." I'm looking forward to trying their stuff out hopefully soon.

I have used up a tub of Proraso green and am currently working on my third tube of C.O. Bigelow (Proraso rebranded). I prefer the cream. Excellent product available at a reasonable price.

It's. Good stuff and really easy to get in Canada you can walk into a shoppers drugmart and buy the white or green off the shelf. I can get just as good of a shave from proraso as I can any of my artisan soaps. But I do like to support some of the artisans.

A few years ago, Feather MR3 cartridge razor, eBay $14 brush, and big Proraso tube. The Proraso cream outlasted the brush and one of the best values in shaving!

My big tube must have lasted 6 months - I started to use extra after month 5 so I could try other creams. If I buy again, small tube.
