Default Proraso Ultra Sensitive Skin Soap

I got this from the Gentlemans shop in Hungerford www.gentlemans-shop.com
first impressions where not very good ,but after about 4 shaves it seemed to break in & start lathering up extreamly well .It has a slight floral scent to my nose & it has pretty good lubricating properties.
the best thing is it leaves my skin fealing clean & irritation free .
Its a soap[ I would recommend to anyone who is having problems with irritation & because once its broken in it works very well with the Hard water thats in the area I live in.
Its now my first choice to use as a travelling soap because of the irritation free shave & I cant wait to try it in a soft water area. So I give this product 5 stars .Paul

I have been using it for more than 7 months and it's the best soap that I have used so far. The lather is rich and slick. It really helps with irritations while giving me a close shave. I didn't have any trouble with lathering, just a few swirls and I got a lot of lather. I find the water/soap ratio to be very forgiving.

One thing I really like compare to the green tub/tube is that it doesn't have camphor or eucalyptus in it. It has just enough menthol for a nice cooling effect that will calm the skin.

I have been thinking of trying it as I hear a lot of people say they like it.

I just tried it this morning. Awesome lather and I loved the way my face felt after the shave.

I tried the green one. The shaving results are great but my skin burns like hell. So it's perfect for my hair type but bad for my skin type.

Does the white one give similar shaving results?

The white tub provides a better shaving for me than the green and red cream tube.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just read too fast and took some heavy painkillers.

I think this is Proraso's replacement for the late, great red tube shaving cream.
