    didn't like it at first. then it became quite pleasing. might be something having to do with having such a good association with the quality lather it produces effortlessly.

    Proraso = A great, traditional barbershop shaving cream!

    Who could not love Proraso? One of the lower end Italian products which, nevertheless, provides a great shave at a very reasonable cost.

    It's good stuff. Not a huge fan of the menthol factor, but I do like the scent and performance.

    Proraso is good stuff. It is to wetshaving what duct tape is to old men.

    I love the smell !! I got a tub of it in the mail yesterday I must have opened it up to sniff it about 15 times. I will give it a go with tomorrow's shave. I have heard nothing but great things about Proraso!!

    I LOVE Proraso. Anyone know if they make an SLS-free version?

    You've got to have the SLS. It's such a nice complement to the quatro-parabens. Love it, though. Fought the mad crowds and too loud Christmas music at the mall today to snag a few Bigelow tubes with all the specials going on.

    The only thing better than Proraso cream is a combo Proraso cream/Proraso soap super-lather.

    Mmm quatro-parabens. I hate SLSs because I have a type of eczema that is basically caused by SLS. Once I cut those out of my life, no eczema flareups! Too bad I have a 75% full tub of Proraso soap though.

    You'll have to toss it. I'd bet my house that the current formula is the only formula. You can google an ingredient list for the sensitive skin Proraso. I have some, but I put it in stoneware mustard jar and don't have the packaging anymore.

    I was looking at your avatar, and used to watch Three's Company during its original network airings, and I'm kinda sure that it's the first primetime sitcom that ever approached even the idea of a character being gay. What a coincidence that I was thinking about that on the very day that congress repealed the ban on gay service members in the armed forces. For what it's worth, it was always Janet for me. Always. Never Chrissie. And I don't think I would have enjoyed drinking at the Regal Beagle. Unless it was with Janet.

    I love proraso too. I use more soaps now. I was at shoppers drugmart this evening and opened up a tub to smell. It's fantastic. I'm going use it tomorrow.

    I've never seen the show . I am glad that DADT seems like it's going to be repealed!

    I also didn't pick the avatar or custom title...

    I shaved with proraso this morning for the first time this morning. Smells incredible !! Extremely comfortable shave. Nice cooling effect - I will be definitely using this in the hot summer months.
