I must be sensitive to menthol because all I could think about was how much my face was burning from the 'cooling' sensation. I've kept using the face wash but in small amounts and it is better. I guess some people like menthol but my skin is too sensitive. The shaving cream however is just too much. The moisturizers are very nice. The crown jewel of the kit is the soap though. The Kiehl's man soap is just great. It has some scratchy oatmeal in it, and lathers very well.

Have been using the range for a few years now. I have tried various other Brands even more expensive ones, but haven't seen the benefit in paying more. Here in Australia the shave cream in a tube sells for around $10. Not the new formula, haven't seen this available down under as yet. The regular Proraso cream along with my Muhle R89 Grande and Astra blades, a great shaving combination! I agree, Proraso products are great value for money.

I bought a C.O. Bigelow Premium Shaving Cream recently and was extremely positive with its performance. What came straight to mind was " damn, this stuff is almost as good as my beloved Proraso!" Now I know why .... :-) That’s why !!!

No need to try something else, when this works so good. I reckon I was lucky…Proraso was the first thing I tried, and I’ve been using it ever since.

It never disappoints. There are a lot more on the shelf now to keep it company, but it's secretly the best. I just don't acknowledge that because it would make me feel guilty about having bought all those others. I guess the problem is that I got it first. If I'd waited and got it last, then I'd probably see it in a different light. That, and it's too inexpensive to really impress anybody. What a shaving cream!
