Proraso Shaving Cream with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol

There's a reason this stuff has been selling well for 75 years. You can't get a better shave cream for $10. For some, the strong scent (medicinal, eucalyptus/menthol) might be a turn off, but if you can get past that, this stuff is terrific. It lathers well, a little thicker than an English cream, but it gives, in my opinion, the best cushion you can ask for. No need for a pre-shave oil with this stuff. You could probably shave with an ice scraper without irritation.

As a beginner to the art of a good shave I had the hardest time finding a solid shaving cream. First, I tried Truefitt & Hill, which provided a great smell, but required a lot of brushing to provide a shave that did not yield some dragging on the skin. Second, I tried The Art of Shaving which provided a decent smell and minimal effort in achieving a drag-free shave, but in the end I did not feel that it was worth spending so much money on these "fancy" creams. Finally, and like all great finds, it took the third try to find Proraso. This stuff is great! I use it every other day because I am able to get such a close shave. It is priced at a point that I find to be a steal, it gives me a drag-free shave, and it smells classic, not to mention it does what no other fancy shave cream does and that is give you the icy effect when rinsing it off your face. On the whole, I would say this is the best shave cream you can buy for the price and quality on the market. A+

There is nothing like a shave with the "green" Proraso. Gives a close shave and a fresh feeling afterwards. Best shave I ever had and no irritation afterwards. I look forward to shving in the morning now

I don't like to use the same cream day in and day out, but I always save this for last in my rotation...not because I dread using it, but because I'm saving the best for last. It's amazing how something that costs 5 euros outperforms creams costing 3-4 times that much. I don't even like menthol and still this is the best cream out there for me. Remarkable really.

nice cooling sensation, heals cuts and nicks during the shave, lathers better than anything i've tried. hard to beat for the money.

Great shaving cream, and used with the Proraso pre-shave cream makes your face like a skating rink on which the razor just "glides" taking with it every hair that comes along its path :)

The lather generated with a badger brush is rich, and foamy, and very moist. The cooling sensation just adds to the experience.

There is no question that this cream generates fantastic lather with or without a brush, I also enjoyed the cooling feeling experienced when splashing water on my face after shaving. However, there are other creams out there that provide less drag in my opinion, I will be sticking to my usual rotation of barc and origins.
