several years ago when i first started wet shaving it was my exact first purchases .. a edwin jagger de89 razor, some proraso green ... amazingly i still today love both even though i have many other high end razors and soaps
@@IAMCDB i do to every so often, i just purchased the big 500ml bag of Proraso single blade green shaving cream and really like it, it's a bargain at $20
Chris I stumbled upon this video that for me is legendary!!! This tells me your story why and how you got into traditional shaving, question you asked in one of your videos you recently uploaded. Proraso green was my second shave soap and the one that eliminated the razor burn I got from Arko which was my first I bought in a bargain with a boar brush from Amazon. By the way proraso after shave lotion scent is the definition of barbershop smell, so much I love this stuff I've got the 400ml bottle.
Stumbling on your videos is the reason I started intermediate fasting. I’m down to 192 which is the lowest I have been in years. It has been fairly easy to this point.
My first results were amazing and addictive. I just kept diving in further and further. Now I mainly use manchurian or other 2 band brushes with Kamisori style straights and shavettes. I really like using my feather artist club ss kami with the professional blades. I really cant see how every person that gives this a try wont love it. My skin is in better condition then it was at any other time in my life!
I agree with you. I think most people who try it will eventually have a great time with it and enjoy better shaves. I did run into a fella the other day that said he tried it for about 4-5 years and it never worked well for him. This is a rare thing but anything is possible I suppose.
Sir. Check out my tips and tutorials playlist here. I have a few lathering videos in there for you. th-cam.com/play/PLuSULob8B2_EYXNRY3PlJkcaxPNlE-aMN.html
@IAMCDB do you or did you ever have irritation caused by the cold, or by dry weather? I ask, because whenever it is particularly cool and dry here in northern Thailand, I suffer somewhat with my neck.
Well, you know my philosophy on this. It's not so much about how the lather look on video as much as it is how it performs. If it looks crappy and you still get a great shave then it's a win in my view. Geo is a legend, I think folks are always safe with him. Just my opinion.
@@IAMCDB ibagree with your statement. And slickness under the blade is all that matters irs better to be a little to watery than a little to dry. I like mine drier but i know first hand a yogurt looking lather gives a grear shave
@@IAMCDB I'm currently enjoying Mitchell's Wool Fat. A very slick soap which I find moisturises my sensitive skin. I have used Proraso red which I find is very good too.
@@VishalGupta-od5mf That's a great classic soap sir:) The Proraso Green will be very much like the Proraso red in terms of quality. Of course the scent will be different:)

It will still get the job done for sure. I enjoy going back to this combo from time to time.

Thank you so much for the kind words Kostas, I appreciate it very much:)

Excellent! I'm getting back in the IM game myself. Wishing you good health.
Nice video. I enjoyed hearing your wet shaving history. We all have our story.
Thanks very much sir. We've talked before I think on the phone right?
@@IAMCDB We have been in contact in the past, but I don't think it was over the phone. I made some videos in the past and you gave me a shoutout
Nice video! Proraso green is excellent soap.i like proraso green.i use always headblade moto! Have a Great day!
Thanks sir. I need to break out the headblade again as well.
@@IAMCDB l always follow your videos! I like them
@@IAMCDB no longer use the headblade moto?for me it's a lot of fun. I used normal razors too,but with the headblade l enjoy it,and the head is smooth!
Knives, Cigars, Bourbon, Rye and Scotch - you pegged my hobbies to a T! Great video!
Very happy to hear. Thanks for watching sir!
You are right up there with Mantic59 and Geofatboy, Chris.
Thanks for the kind words. I certainly don't place myself among those guys but I really appreciate you saying so. That's quite an honor.

Enjoy your videos, very informative.
Thank you very much.
You must check the "Super Formula" Chris.
Proraso Super Formula?
Love Proraso white, the whole line is great.
Agreed.
I have a badger brush and can't foam Proraso cream. A little warm water on the brush, it stays thick. What am I doing wrong?

I typically don't but many people do. A lot of people like to use good quality balms to help with this.
Christopher Bradley A History!
Do you still own the Muhle Jet? If you do, can you make a video shaving with it?
I raffled it off for charity:)
I try proraso red for the first time sandalwood stinks it's smell like cheap cologne and a unflush urinal combined why????
It took me back to high school
I've never been a fan of proraso red. It's one of my least favorite sandalwood scents and that's why you never see me using it:)
Now this is a real shave lmao what's a real shave
It's an old school one for sure.
Get has been making some watery lathers lately. Lol maybe not the best to go off of lol
Geo fat boy

Thats the only thing i have against him is his recent lathers. Anything else is an A from me.
Too much chitta chatta for my liking.
Sorry you didn't enjoy it sir.
@@IAMCDB I was very much looking forward to how the soap performs and your opinion of it.
@@VishalGupta-od5mf It's a good classic soap. Good performance, can be drying for some people.
