    My local soap store had a couple of tubes of Proraso Red for $10 each. Is this stuff worthwhile?

    About a 1/2 mile away. They carry mostly C&E and CM items. They also have Provence Sante and Pre de Provence. They have a few brushes, razors and EDC's too. I was looking for a Christmas gift for my wife and noticed a couple of tubes of Proraso Red.

    Sounds like I should buy them?

    How many are there? Yes defiantly buy them! The only place I know that still has the red has a one tube per order rule and they go for $15.00. You know if they have a bunch I'd buy some from you. This is by far my favorite cream!

    the Red Proraso cream is for sure, lovely. So much nicer than the Green version, and a very nice scent. There is not as much of menthol, but still enough to feel during a shave.

    There were 5 all together. They were $10. I can get them all tomorrow if you like. I would like to try a tube or two myself.

    Let me know. Thanks!

    What's the name of this store? Is it local only?

    It's called Savon Nuevau. As far as I know, the only one is in Cedarburg, WI.

    I'll chime in if you haven't already headed out the door. Proraso Red is discontinued and is a highly desired product amongst many. I have never tried it myself but would given the chance. Were it me I would buy all five tubes and either keep them if I liked or help out some fellow shavers on the bst if not. Cool find.

    I'm buying them all tomorrow. There may be a couple of extra tubes for sale here later tomorrow.

    Make sure you ask if they have any hiding in the stock room. ;)

    For those that were interested in purchasing a tube or two, I want you to know that I have every intention of getting to the store as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we have sub-zero temps and high winds here in the Metro Milwaukee area that's causing periodic white-outs and high snow drifts.

    In other words, I ain't going out in this crap unless I have to.

    The store opens again on Tuesday and I will be the first one in line when they unlock the door.

    If you've express interest in a purchase, I'll PM you when I have them in hand. They are $10 each plus actual shipping charges.

    I have no idea where the line starts or how many are ahead of me but I'm interested. Let me know if there's any left.

    Cedarburg Wisconsin is a nice place. I dated a girl from Milwaukee and would take special trips up there for the winery tour. Now that I know Proraso Red is up there, I may have to make a special trip. I will be waiting until this cold front passes, too. :D
