PIF - Proraso Shave Balm and Travel soap - PIF

PIF is open to only someone who has not use one or both of the products.  Having used one of the two is fine, but if you've already tried both, please don't ask to be in.

Both are brand new ... I'm moving to creams and there are sooooooo many to try!  and so many balms and aftershaves too!

Open to USA members.  I'll select the winner at 6:00 PM on Wednesday the 24th.  Products pictured above and shipping is included

Say the magic words 'Im In' and tell me which product you haven't tried.

Not in, but thanks for a nice PIF.

Really would like to try the balm, but the soap has EDTA in it and I react badly to it, so NOT IN. Great PIF though!

You could say "I'm in" and if you win it, re-PIF the soap!  

Nice PIF, thank you !!
I'm relatively new to soap/cream & brush use. So new that I've used creams only with the exception of trying to lather GFT Rose Soap's new formula. TRYING being the operative word here.
I've used neither product and would love to try...
Soooo I'M IN

RON

I'm in!  Thanks.  Haven't tried either. Great PIF!

Guys, Proraso is such a classic soap that everyone should try it!

So far it's a 50/50 chance between Tom and Ron ... 
just bringing this PIF thread back up to the top.

In, please. The only Proraso product I know firsthand is the preshave. As a balm user, I am especially interested in that part.
Thank you!

If that's good with you, then I'm in. Thank you! 

Looks like it was Rory!  PM sent for the address.

I thought there would be more interest - oh well - good karma is good karma!

I'm surprised as well but nice PIF nonetheless.

Great PIF.  Thanks for the opportunity and congrats to Rory!

Congrats Rory!

Thank you Charlie and everyone else!

Safe arrival today! Since the box came to my office, it could not be delivered to my desk on Saturday, and then of course yesterday was a holiday.

I look forward to trying the goods tomorrow. Thanks again, Charlie.

Congratulations Rory, and thanks to 1981Eagle.

Enjoy them!  Happy to do it

I gave the Proraso balm a try today (I want to finish up another soap first).

Very nice. Reminds me in look and feel of Myrsol Emulsión, which just so happens to be my favorite shaving product of any kind.

I was interested to see that green tea and oats are key active ingredients. Its aroma is quite pleasant.

Today I had a somewhat "ouchy" shave with El Jefe, so a good balm really wound up helping.
