    Default Acqua di Parma Shaving Cream: only one type?

    Does this shaving cream come in more than one type. I used a sample of it today and got quite a good shave, and I was skimping on the prep too being in a hurry to get out. But the scent was a lot more than I'm accustomed to.

    So, is there an Acqua di Parma cream that is less scented?

    Sorry that I cannot be of any help, but if I may ask, where did you acquire a sample of AdP?

    There are two types of Acqua di Parma shave cream:

    Crema Soffice da Pennello, for use with a brush

    Crema Soffice da Rasatura, for use with or without a brush

    I've only tried the second. Maybe there's something wrong with my nose but all I smelled was a soapy scent that didn't do much for me. The cream is very rich and left my skin very moisturized.

    I bought it on impulse from a local perfume store. I don't know where to find it on the Internet because I wasn't interested in looking for it. It's OK but pricey. € 28.00 for a 75-gram, travel size tube is too much, with all the other less expensive alternatives that are just as good or better.

    theres actually 3 types,
    Tub - Brush only
    Tube - Brush and brushless,
    Canned goo - Brushless

    i suspect that the tub is the strongest scented,

    I have the bursh type. It's ok. The scent is nice, but my shaves are so-so with it.
