Proraso Shaving Soap in a Bowl, 150ml, Refreshing and Toning Shaving Soap For Men with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol, Made in Italy, Green

In my opinion this shaving soap has a nice fresh menthol scent to it. I found it incredibly easy to load using a boar hair shaving brush due to the fact that it is a cross between a shaving soap and a shaving cream. It is so soft you can push your finger through it.On the first pass my initial reaction was that the menthol scent was there but, I couldn’t feel the cooling sensation you would expect. However after removing a layer of hair and re-lathering for my second pass the cooling sensation was very strong and quite enjoyable. On my third pass it was like ice.After three passes with my straight razor, the Proraso green provided great cushion, slickness, scent and cooling sensation for my shave. The post shave feeling left my face feeling fresh and protected. I used post shave balm just in case as I have sensitive skin but, this is in no way criticizing the post shave feel of the soap it was just me being cautious. The ingredients in this soap did not irritate my skin after the shave however, if you are not willing to risk it I know they do a white version specifically for sensitive skin. I do recommend you try this as it is a great soap and it did not have an effect on my sensitive skin.I have taken a picture of the ingredient list in an attempt to answer some of your sensitive skin questions.I tested this soap with both hard and soft water. It liked the soft water a lot more than the hard however it was excellent with both. I tried shaving with a shavette, straight razor and double edged razor. It felt protecting and slick with both.This soap has impressed me and I will be purchasing a Proraso red (sandalwood) soap next to give that a try. The soaps I have used in the past are Arko shave stick, Palmolive cream and shave stick and the Wilkinson Sword blue tub (let's never speak of this one again).It provided a similar lather to the Arko maybe a little bit slicker and it definitely smelled better. The slickness was similar to the Palmolive shaving cream and the cushion was similar to the Palmolive shave stick. I’m not sure if these comparisons mean anything to you but it never hurts to share experience with fellow wet shavers regardless.

Great shaving soap nice and smooth. Doesn't clog the razor and lathers up nice

Excellent shaving soap. Good scent, fantastic creamy lather, good bowl and looks as though it will last quite a long time. Very pleased and excellent value too plus prompt delivery.

Very nice shaving soap. Lathers well. Smell's good.

The main selling point of this soap is the cooling eucalyptus than it contains, making it the perfect choice for shaving during hot weather.The soap makes a good lather, that doesn't dry out before I have completed a shaving pass (like Arko does). However, it does take slightly more effort to make a lather than with some other higher end (i.e. more expensive) soaps I have tried. I have also used the cream version of this soap, which comes in a tube & although it is easier to make a lather with the cream, I find that the tub / soap version makes a thicker, more substantial lather & also, a tub seems to last a lot longer than a tube, thus making it more economical.The fragrance is subtle & fresh & is not overpowering & "chemically" like some soaps, which to me smell more like products used to clean a toilet.I would recommend partnering this soap with the Proraso green label aftershave lotion for the full supercool shaving experience!

Excellent value and a quality hard shaving soap, ease of application and giving a smooth shave. 5⭐️

This stuff is great, slightly menthol in fragrance and leaves the skin feeling cool and fresh. Great shaving experience with this and a good brush

Pleasant to use, but not a particularly good lather
