    This could go in the Soaps or Creams thread but only one so here...

    Expected to be launched in the Spring, perhaps as early as April. In addition to the current green and white eucalyptus line there will be three complete lines:

    A blue package for Aloe and Vitamin C

    A red package for Sandalwood

    A white package for Green Tea & Oatmeal

    Each line will have a complete offering of cream, after shave, soap, pre-shave etc. same as the current collection, just in four different variants.

    Formula Change: Proraso will change to a paraben-free line and contain no boric acid either.

    All of this leaves the question, for me anyway, why they didn't bring back Proraso Red (wheat germ) too. It's not like the wet shaving community hasn't been demanding it. Guess Proraso doesn't care about it.

    And I wonder if they are doing away with the Green Tea & Aloe line. No mention of it.

    I think I will end up getting a tub of soap in all three scents.

    I read about this the other day and I'm looking forward to them. I'll probably end up with all three tubes.

    I agree, Jody. Not only did they not bring the Red back, but they've now called red Sandalwood.

    I'm anticipating that they'll be hard to come by until Fall, with the mad rush of people swamping the vendors.

    I hope these new versions will be mentholated at least to a certain extent.

    The steel wool pics are hilarious!

    I must be doing something *very* wrong - i've only been using a brush for about 2 weeks now, but it takes me a good 3 minutes with my brush to get something that almost looks like that. I've been using Omega cream which came with my brush. I imagine its not the best, but I LOOOOOVE the mentholated cream!
