    I loved the soap so much I decided to get the tube cream and this past weekend I gave it a go with my scuttle and it will definitely remain in my inventory. Great lather and I love the scent. (I Have the pre shave and aftershave both). The glide was as smooth as it gets. I used to use the green but for my money and nose the red is where it's at. (Sorry for title miss-spelling). Wouldn't let me fix it

    Up at the top of the thread page, right hand side, you'll see "watch thread" and another one called "thread tools" or something similar. You can change the title from there.

    Edit: Porazo Red in the tub is a staple in my shave den. I hate the white film it leaves all over everthing, but love the way it shaves.

    Proraso Red is a good soap but not my favorite- but seeing you like it a lot I thought I would recommend the Proraso red Aftershave lotion that I enjoy a lot, Good juice IMO.

    A couple months ago I bought the Proraso Red aftershave after all the positive remarks about it's scent.

    When it arrived I liked it's scent so much that I picked up a tube of the Proraso Red shave cream to pair with it.

    Well, it was Sandalwood Saturday with Proraso Red. I'd be lying if I told you it was a good shave... It was great!

    Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
    Soap: Proraso Red
    Razor: Rockwell Razors 6S Matte Black(R6, R5, R4, and R3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
    Blade: Tiger Platinum (4)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (No Idea)
    Brush: Omega S-Brush
    AS: Proraso Red
    ASB: Proraso Red Pre/Post Shave as ASB

    @wchnu would love this. Didn't bloom the soap. Just wet the brush, ran the tub under some hot water to wash away some of Iraq, and loaded. This part Fuzzy will hate. I took the brush to the bowl and built the superb lather pictured below. Three passes, hit the eyebrows, and killed the blade under the arms for a superb shave. The Proraso Red AS killed any germs left on the face from the water supply and the Pre-Post Shave was used as a balm. Smelling good. I wish Proraso would come out with a Red EdC/EdT.

    First shave of 2021 was with Proraso Red cream and aftershave.

    I used just a little bit more splash this time and could smell it on me for the next 45min or so.

    But what really surprised me was that how great my skin felt 12hrs later after the shave. Seemed to be just as good as when I had finished.

    For me the price, performance and scent of Proraso products make them den worthy.

    Agreed. Red is my favorite of the Proraso line. The only offering I don't like is the blue....just don't like the scent.
