Proraso Shaving Soap

In the last few years there has been a rebirth of interest (and sales) of double edge safety razors. The reasons are myriad; ridiculously high prices for cartridges, poor performance, environmental concerns (tons of plastic dumped into land fills, etc.) Along with that heightened interest, a number of boutique soap makers have popped up, many of them simply outstanding, if sometimes a bit pricey.Proraso, on the other hand, has been around since after WWII. It's a proven commodity in the shaving world. It was the first shave soap I ever bought, their Green soap (eucalyptus scent with some menthol) and it was love at first use. One thing about Proraso soaps and shave creams: they really lather beautifully!I started with the Green (their original) but also tried the White (made for sensitive skin) and finally the Red.All three Proraso soaps/creams I've tried are fantastic but the Red is my favorite. The sandalwood scent is beautiful; a very natural smell that isn't overpowering and doesn't come across like a cheap cologne.Every scent is subjective. Some soaps I've bought that get rave reviews I've found to be simply awful.But I can't imagine anybody not liking this sandalwood scent. And, man, does it lather and provide a great shave! And it's a fantastic value in a world where some prices have skyrocketed. This brand has maintained affordability and stability.This comes with my highest recommendation.

Excellent product, this is quality and hands down one of the best shaving soaps out there. Rich, creamy lather that cushions well and leaves the skin feeling refreshed.

i didn’t like the fragrance it has but ignoring that, I really liked the shave, very good product.

Good quality soap that I've come to expect from Proraso, but wow the fragrance is very potent. Too potent for my preferences. It smells nice, but it's just too strong. Also, I don't really see what makes this better for coarse beards than any of the other soaps I've used. Good product, but definitely best for people who like bold fragrance.

Super value, great price. Foams excellent. Does the job

This shaving soap has a great scent.

I had the green tub of soap and really liked it. It worked great for shaving, and my partner liked the smell. Thought I'd try this tub and I'm enjoying this just as much as the previous one.I find it lathers up really well, smells great... subtle... and I'm sure it'll last a long time like the green tub did!

Excellent lather, nice and rich, and smell is pleasant. I recommend.
