Omega Shaving Cream?

[zachster]

Has anyone tried this? From the description, and the shape of the packaging, I sort of suspect that maybe it's just re-branded Proraso :

It is generally known as Proraso! As I understand it, same soap, black packaging, and just a bit cheaper.

Thanks. Might still be worth buying, just to save a couple of bucks, plus the tube graphics are pretty cool!

I have it (surprise, surprise ). Good stuff - just like Proraso.

It's not exactly like proraso.

The smell is a slightly soapier. It's almost a chlorine smell, but I mean that in a good way.

It's not as euculyptusy as proraso green.

I love proraso. I like proraso more than any of the ToOBS stuff I've tried, including avocado.

I will not hesitate to say, I like the omega more than the original proraso formula.

I have proraso red in the mail, so I'll tell you all how that turns out.

Proraso green:


Omega:


Proraso, but not Omega:
amyl cinnamal, eugenol, geraniol

Omega, but not Proraso:
lanolin

It's better than Proraso, IMO. It feels silkier on the skin, and provides more moisturization than Proraso. I think the lanolin provides some qualitative difference, though who really knows how much is in there. In any event, it's one of my top three creams.
