I'm sure that the majority of traditional wetshavers have tried, or at least heard of Proraso cream or soap. For most of us, Proraso brings to mind a strongly-scented eucalyptus and menthol shaving item with great lather and good beard-softening features. WELL, guess what - recently Ludovico Martelli, the manufacturer of Proraso released a brand-new version with a lovely sa
ndalwood scent that has the same great lather and awesome skincare, and is made without even a drop of menthol or eucalyptus so there isn't even the slightest hint of a cooling sensation. Let me tell you beautiful people about it!
Ease of lathering: 10/10-- A little cream on a wet brush, and BINGO! Rich lather.
Longevity of lather: 10/10--Purrrrrrrrrr-fect! Stable, stable, stable!
General skincare: 9/10--Moisturizing and very soothing. Great post-shave feeling.
Scent: 9/10--Brilliant. Classy and elegant. Sandalwood in a deep way.
Price: 8/10--Fendrihan's sells it for 9,95$ CAD. Reasonable, yes?
Would I buy again: 10/10--Absolutely. It is a wonderful cream.
For anyone with a tough beard and sensitive skin like myself, this cream is a dream come true. Although I am a fanatic menthol lover, this cream is one which I would buy repeatedly even though it has none, because it is so nicely-scented, it lathers so well, (just a little cream is needed!) and it protects my skin against dryness and razor burn, and it has such a soothing and relaxing effect, not to mention the great blade glide! It's also readily available here in Canada.

The Red bumped the Green to the side. I tried going between the two new formulas equally, but it seems I have 3/4 of the green left and only a 1/4 of the red left. I love this stuff. What other "New Formula" products come out better than the original? So far all of Proraso's new formulas are better than the originals. The new A/S has bumped my Alt Innsbruck in terms of what I feel like using the most.

It's an awesome cream. I would have used it this morning, but it's so hot here in Montreal that I needed a mentholated set-up to get cooled off!

Disappointed
tried it this morning, the white tub I have found to be so much better. I don't know why, but the foam no matter what I did didn't lather as thick and rich. I tried mug lathering and then direct face lather, don't get me wrong got plenty of lather but it was very thin if you know what I men. Oh well, will try to give it another try after tomorrow.
Scent wise, nice.. Nothing to write home about still prefer the white.
