    Yes, please report back quickly. Proraso Red is the "only" cream that I've used and liked. Very very curious to know.

    You sent me the sample, Mike. Of course, you get to be a guinea pig. :D

    You guys surprise me, so quite in this thread. I did shave with TSD Red, ya know?

    Well, I don't want to influence what the testers think.

    But, I shaved with TSD Red on my left side, and Proraso Red on my right side. Started shaving, and noticed my blade had called it quits. Decided to continue with it anyways, as I felt it was a good way to test the creams. No razor burn on my left side, right side didn't fair as well. Alum stung like crazy, on the right side.

    Now remember this is a more natural product than Proraso Red, too. I had no problems lathering either product, but I lather directly on my skin. Sparky has tried both, too. And he said he had to use more TSD Red to get a good lather. He uses a bowl though.

    I got a big sample that I'm working through. I'm trying to use it with a few different blade/razor set ups too. I should have a report to JoAnna by the end of this week.

    +1. I'm going to dedicate the rest of the week to comparisons.

    This is just out of curiousity.....when are the results going to be in with the beta test? Or is it one that might go back to drawing board for adjustments, tweaking, altering, etc. JoAnna mentioned Alum....is that in the SC or is that post shave application? Sorry for long winded question;)

    I did? :confused:

    There isn't any alum in the cream.

    The guys said they were gonna do thorough testing for the week. So, I'd guess it shouldn't be too much longer. Initial feedback has been fairly good.
