The cooling effect is a bit much for me but I love the lather and smell of it. It's quite the pickle... 

VDH + C.O. Bigelow is a classic superlather. Lots of people have used this, myself included. Great combination.
Williams + Bigelow is also a tried and true superlather, but I have not tried it myself.
I imagine Susie's Eucalyptus would be a nice choice; sage and citrus might work well, too.
If you like the cooling effect, check out My Time Bath & Body. Jean's menthol 10/10 will make the Proraso look like it is unmentholated.
Bigelow and Aqua Velva is such a great combination. If somebody broke in and cleaned out everything else from my Shave Cave, I could be happy with this.
Well, this and my Clubman.
I used to think the same but now I can't live without the cooling effect !The cooling effect is a bit much for me but I love the lather and smell of it. It's quite the pickle...![]()
This will be my travel cream...maybe even my home cream too, although I think I still prefer soap. Now if I could find some soap that feels like this...that would be perfection. Is there one out there?![]()
Um, yeah. You could pick up some Proraso soap.
Does Bath and Body Works sell it? If not, I won't be able to find it locally...few limited around here, no real shave shops.
