Classic Italian Cella Shave Shaving Creme Soap-150g-Hard Plastic Travel Container Review

Classic Italian Cella Shave Shaving Creme Soap-150g-Hard Plastic Travel Container
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cella contain both coconut oil and tallow, two of the best lathering ingredients, and that is what makes it work so well: great lubrication and substantial lather that helps keep the whiskers moisturized (to soften them) and helps support the whiskers allowing the razor blade to get at them.
Cella's description in Italian ("crema da barba all'olio di mandorla") means "shaving cream with almond oil". Although it is called a cream it is more like a hard putty. Cella has a very pleasant almond scent. Note that like most shaving soaps the scent is not meant to, and indeed does not, linger for long after the shave. It does make the shaving experience pleasant!
This product is 150g in a very useful and tightly sealed container. This keeps it from drying out and makes it convenient for traveling. A large (1000g) block is available for refills but I think the soap has a shelf-life and it will take one person a very long time to get through 1000g of the soap. The 150g package lasts a very long time in itself.

While it does not lather, it is smooth and rich. Despite the price, it is all I use. I keep a tube for travel and at home.
YMMV.

Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad Shave Soap in Wooden Bowl 3.5 Oz Review

Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad Shave Soap in Wooden Bowl 3.5 Oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was the second soap I purchased after switching from canned junk to real shave soap/cream. This is without a doubt the best smelling soap I've found. Something like a warm fern with a slight woodsy smell. Not overpowering, but rich and smooth. Smell 'out of the box' is a little different than what settles in after its been exposed to air for a while, and that makes it even better. Compared to L'occitane Cade and D.R. Harris Marlborough, this smells better, but I had not used it in some time as it did not appear to be as cushioning. A year later, and likely with the development of a more skilled hand on my part, I've began to use it again, and have gotten some very nice shaves from it with NO irritation, which is kind of a big deal for me. Top quality product, nicely packaged, lather's relatively easily. If your interested, purchase.

Proraso Sapone da Barba ( Shaving Cream with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol ) Hair Removal Products Review

Proraso Sapone da Barba ( Shaving Cream with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol ) Hair Removal Products
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Without question the best shaving product in my experience. Used with plenty of hot water, a double edged razor, and a brush (up and down strokes are best) and you can expect the closest, most comfortable shave ever. The scent is manly but not macho, and is very light in any case after you wash it off, and you don't need to use aftershave either. Wonderful.
If you use a brush, make sure to get a good badger hair brush (expect to spend anywhere from twenty to forty dollars for a decent but inexpensive brush that will last a decade or more.) Make sure to also get a brush stand like the Nickel Shaving Brush Holder to keep water from seeping into the handle, which shortens the life of the brush.

CO Bigelow Premium Menthol Shave Cream with Eucalyptus Oil - 5.2 oz Review

CO Bigelow Premium Menthol Shave Cream with Eucalyptus Oil - 5.2 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this shaving cream. The smell is pleasant and subtle, and it lathers up easily with a good shaving brush. The lather is about the finest I've used in my time as a wet shaver. I bought a 1.75oz tube of it at Bath & Body Works at a local mall for $5. Used properly even a small tube will last for a good long while. I've been shaving with the one I have for upwards of two months.
A little history for you fine folks- C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream is just a re-brand of Proraso, and Italian shaving cream. They're identical in smell, lather, performance and chemical composition.

Proraso Shaving Cream 5.2 oz (147 g) Review

Proraso Shaving Cream 5.2 oz (147 g)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Maybe it's the Italian name that makes it difficult to market to the masses (it's available at Bath and Bodyworks as a re-packaged CO Bigelow product). In any event, no living, breathing man should be denied the opportunity to indulge in this superb shaving product.
Though it might not get the kind of enthusiastic endorsement reserved for the higher-end English made creams from the discerning wet shaver/hobbyist crowd (shave geeks), Proraso is a quantum leap in quality compared to the canned stuff on the drug store shelf. For the uninitiated, a tube of Proraso cream is an excellent first step in the journey toward a vastly improved shaving experience.
Aside from the luxurious, cushioning lather one can make using a decent badger hair shaving brush (highly recommended), Proraso's strength is also its drawback. The cooling, tingling sensation of menthol and eucalyptus oil is a pleasurable experience for many, but harsh for those with highly sensitive skin (and noses). So be forewarned if you think you may fall into the latter category. Being in the former category, my experience with Proraso has been like a dream come true. Where Proraso really shines, though, is in the post shave; the moment after the last bit of lather has been rinsed away. A cold water rinse follow-up truly ramps up the invigorating pleasure of this cream...a bracing wake up call for those groggy, early morning shaves.
I disagree with the reviewer that said this cream is too expensive. If used correctly (with a shave brush), a pea-sized amount is all that's needed to produce an abundant lather. Nevertheless, the benefits of this highly recommended product far outweigh its cost.

Proraso Shaving Soap with Aloe and Green Tea - Ultra Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Products Review

Proraso Shaving Soap with Aloe and Green Tea - Ultra Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Products
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was bit skeptical when looking for a shaving soap that my sensitive skin on my face could handle. When you use this one you actually feel it going to work on your skin. Also seems like the soap is easily absorbed by the hairs, making them easier to cut. Smells nice. Also seems that it will last a long time. The possibility to cover it, store it and travel with it makes it a plus as well. Definitely buy if you've tried other shaving soaps and have cut yourself a lot because of skin sensitivity.

This was the first time I have used shaving soap and this is better than I expected, I get a close shave, it lathers very well and leaves my face feeling and smelling great. I have had this product for about a month and shave every other day and it doesn't even seem like I am making a dent in this product.
