From 1/14: This is a good shaving soap. I just got a close shave from it without any nicks or burn. My skin is soft and overall I'm happy with the shave. I think that Proraso Green provides better lubrication. Not sure why this one is targeted at thicker beards when it seems a bit less slick then Proraso Green?

Also, there isn't much wood smell in this sandalwood. Not exactly masculine, but more neutral. There are hints of Sandalwood, but it's on the sweet/perfume(floral?) side to me. The scent is not long lived though, which is fine and it shouldn't interfere with aftershave or cologne.

Update 10/14: I've become fonder of this scent of Proraso with time. Great to have in my rotation of shaving soap. Probably my favorite variation of Proraso at the moment.
