One Italian shaving cream product is Figaró Habzó Borotvakrém, which is a decent product for a good price. It produces a nice and thick lather, but lacks a bit on the glide and stability. However, adding more water can improve the glide and stability without significantly decreasing the thickness. Another Italian shaving cream product is Proraso Shaving Cream, which comes in different formulas and scents. The Classic Formula contains ingredients such as water, stearic acid, and coconut oil. The Green, Blue, Red, and White formulas are designed for different types of beard and skin, and each has a cream, post-shave, and in many cases, a pre-shave and soap as well. The White formula is marketed as protective and moisturizing, with aloe vera and vitamin E, and has a modern and spicy fragrance with notes of amber and musk. However, the reviewer disagrees with virtually all of this, including the scent notes. Proraso also has a Sandalwood formula, which is loaded with coconut oil and nourishing ingredients, and has a masculine, sandalwood aroma. It produces a thick and creamy lather that is even slicker than before. Palmolive Italian Menthol Shaving Cream is another Italian shaving cream product that has a cooling kick of menthol and a characteristically good Palmolive lather. It contains ingredients such as stearic acid, glycerin, and coconut oil. Proraso Refreshing Shaving Cream is still made today in accordance with a rigorous hot soap-making process, which results in an ultra-rich soap that produces an incomparably thick, creamy, soft lather. It is made with natural ingredients and contains no parabens, silicones, mineral oil, SLS, artificial colors, or ingredients of animal origin. It is a barbers choice since 1948 and is suitable for a close and comfortable shave while protecting the skin and leaving it soft and hydrated.
