I'll provide a detailed review with pictures next week, but let me say this: it's a marvelous cream with a unique, manly and highly interesting scent. Fantastic!
I like the scent, but I noticed some things about it: One, it seems thinner than Proraso Green - it nearly falls out of the tube, where I have to squeeze the Green out. Two, it seemed thick on my face; it sort of gummed up my razor a bit. Decent shave, lathers up fine, just feels heavier than the Green version. Anyone else notice this? It could be my noobishness coming through.
Where is a site where I can get this in the USA? The few I have checked that stock it are sold out. If I used ebay would I run into any issues with customs?
ItalianBarber will have it in stock within the week.
ImageJust got mine from Italian Barber. Scent not as sandalwoody as I'd hoped (been using TOB sandalwood), but great slick stuff. Got a 2nd red for my brother, the green, and some marvis while I was ordering.

As always, Italian Barber was great to order from.
If it's not like TOBS Sandalwood, I may be interested. The only 'Sandalwood' I've liked so far is EJ's. Can somebody comment on the scent of the red Proraso with comparison with some other ones (I've tried T&H, TOBS, EJ, GFT, C&E)?
C&E sandalwood smells very similar to GFT sandalwood cream. EJ is unique....haven't smelled anything like it aside from an old aftershave I got from India once..
I've never tried EJ or C&E.
