So nearing the end of my first tub of Proaso Green, but before I just go off and order another as I was one of my favorites so far, thought I'd ask for suggestions for other reasonably priced great Eucalyptus-Mentholated soaps. Any suggestions from the gallery?
Try the Proraso Red..the sandlewood with a touch of menthol is quite nice Unless of course you're open to trying something else..which opens a whole other can of worms..lol
It's creamy, smooth, protective, and very nice to the skin. It is the easiest soap to lather that I know of. It works very well with hard or soft water, badger brush or boar, face lather or bowl lather. Compared to Proraso Green, it's much lighter on menthol and a bit more substantial in the Aloe/Eucalyptus dept. I've been told it's made by Proraso for Omega. It usually runs $6 to $7. (and sometimes less) Of all the soft soaps available, (and I like most of them) this one suits me best.
Any thoughts of RazoRock 888 Eucalyptus Karite? From the ingredients, the Omega doesn't appear to have menthol - neither does the RR, but not sure.
HTGAM Frost_Byte is my favorite menthol soap. It is much colder than Proraso, but the skincare is excellent because it also contains tea tree oil. http://howtogrowamoustachestore.com/collections/shaving-soap/products/synergy-shaving-soap
It smells completely different from what you'd expect sandalwood to smell like. So much so I didn't think it even was sandalwood.
I would stick with Proraso green over HTGAM Frost Byte, to my nose it smelled like a very strong Halls cough drop. Compared to Proraso it flat out smelled terrible. IMHO
I have found the scents of sandalwood to vary widely by the maker. To me, Proraso sandalwood smells nothing like TOBS sandalwood, which smells nothing like AOS sandalwood, which smells nothing like T&F sandalwood.
Since you like the crema soaps give Cella a shot. Smells like roasted almonds with a hint of cherry. Very nice soap indeed!
It's definitely going on my list to try... I've been adding M-Bomb to my EJ Sandalwood and have noticed it changes the scent drastically.
I kinda like that kind of scent especially on a hot morning... Was only 102F this AM on the sunny CA coast! The Eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil, Menthol combo sounds perfect. Well as I couldn't find the Frost Byte at a price where the shipping wasn't half the cost of the product, I ordered another Proaso Green for now - but I do want to try the HTGAM Synergy Frost Byte.
Any of the Stirling Glacial soaps will freeze your face to the point that it'll feel numb. Iced Subzero from our JoAnna, and QCS Vostok are bloody cold also.
