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

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.

Like many items available through Amazon, I'd always advise people to add things to wish lists and keep an eye on the price. Couldn't resist this at £2.70 for 150ml tub, and very pleased I ordered when I did. The soap itself is excellent in my opinion, and well worth trialling if you are considering. Having limited experience of shaving soaps, I can only compare to a Wilkinson sword tub, and an Arko stick.It is certainly the softest soap of the 3, but don't think of it as like a cream. It lathers really well, and the smoothness of the shave matches or even surpasses the Arko. The scent whilst shaving is very fresh and invigorating, but don't underestimate the "cooling" sensation, some may actually find it a little too much. During shaving it does seem to possibly need a little more water adding when soaping further passes, and it does seems to leave a stickier film on blade during shaving. However my skin does feel really good after using this Proraso.In conclusion I'd say at £2.70 for 150gm this was a huge bargain. On balance it's probably the best shaving soap I've tried yet, and "invigourating" adds to the shaving experience. .....so 10/10.Arko bowls actually look to cost more than this does at normal £4-£5 price, so this Proraso wins there too, but a 75g Arko stick can cost as little as £1, is more environmentally friendly when used up.......so 9.5/10It's close but this wins.

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!

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

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

Lathers up really well, lasts a long time and is excellent value for money. Better than other shaving creams and soaps I’ve used in the past.

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

This is remarkable. For men who embrace the ceremony of shaving, the soap is critical. The foam should be luxurious but consolidated. It serves little purpose if it's too light and frothy, or cluggy and doesn't adhere to the stubble properly. This is where shaving cream in a can falls short, and a brush and soap are best. I've tried various shaving soap bars, most British in source (or claim), and most did the trick to a degree. I started using the Proraso pre-shave cream a while back when I couldn't find the British equivalent of a pre-shave cream I used called Prep, and was already using the Proraso Wood & Spice After Shave balm, so I thought I'd give the shaving soap in a bowl a go. I am so glad I did. It is next-level luxurious, and when worked in with the shaving brush, the menthol and eucalyptus oil make it cool and soothing. The foam is not frothy like some soap bars produce; it is cream-like. This improves the actual shave. Combined with the other two Proraso products mentioned, I now have a go-to kit that makes shaving a pleasure instead of a chore.
