To be honest I didn't get much love from this product - It didn't make a great deal of difference to my pre/post shave and didn't have a pleasant effect as many products do in the pre/post shaving ritual. Also fine line betwenn enough to put on and to much that coats. Didn't really do much for me.

Great to soften the beard

This product is great for softening the beard.
I put in on before putting a hot towel to my face and find the combination is an excellent way to soften the beard before applying soap / cream.

I initially got into wet DE shaving because I felt that my previous setup just wasn't doing enough. I wasn't exactly impressed with the starter kit either - but this cream has made it all worthwhile.

Note: Eucalyptus menthol feel/scent may not be your cup of tea.

Must have


Review by Matt

This stuff will improve your shave out of sight. I get out the shower and massage this into the beard and get a lather going. I apply it straight over the lather and this stuff is a beard melting beast. After finishing my shave I rinse with cold water to close the pores and rub a little of this in. It is fantastically soothing.

The con is that the smell is like an old school barber shop and it is very denco-rub, menthol smelling. Luckily that fades quickly but even so I could not imagine a shave without using this as a pre and post treatment.

I have recently started DE shaving. Reading a few things on this website, i purchased this and the proraso shave cream. The scent is great and the feel of this product, gives your face a nice tingle before the shave. It soften's the hair up quite good and mixed with the shave cream creates a pleasant shave. This product will definitely be kept in my shaving attire.

I like this because I use the proraso shave cream, but im not totally convinced this is the be all, end all of pre/post cream. It got glowing reviews on badgerandblade.com but to me so far, it is just 'good'. But hey, good is better than bad! Try it.

Cool


Review by Roger All my reviews  (0)

I haven't yet tried a shave without prepping with this first, so don't know how 'good' it is in that regard.

But I really enjoy all the Proraso stuff. The scent is just pure old style barber shop.

I like the cooling menthol effect used as a post shave, I just wish it would leave my skin smoother, like a moisturiser does. It has a dry, but tacky feel to it.

But at these prices, this stuff is all good.

Top Stuff


Review by Roger All my reviews  (0)
Overall Rating
I really enjoy using this stuff.

Some may be put off by the Menthol thing, but to me this just reeks of 'proper' shaving.

I always use before and after shaving, and it has got me through the learning process of DE shaving, where, to begin with, I razored too hard, even thought I thought I was feather light.

I'm not big on fragrance/aftershave, so for me, this is a great way to finish off a shave.

Doesn't leave the skin smooth like moisturiser does though; it has a kind of dry, tacky feel.

It's been around forever, and with good reason. Well worth a go.

Like a barber's shave at home


Review by Maksym All my reviews  (0)

Any shaving product that's been used by Italians since the 20s must be good. This is no exception - I use it as a post-shave as well, and enjoy the cool menthol feeling afterwards. Really reminds me of when you walk out of a barber's shop freshly shaven and feeling a million dollars.

This really provides the ultimate protection for your skin during shaving. I really like the Aloe and Green Tea version, but this is just as good. Really helps if you can't give the time to a proper beard prep.

As someone who has suffered from a rash after every shave I hated shaving. However this cream is amazing stuff! After a standard shave I applied this cream and the refreshment feeling was instant, and no rash! Amazing stuff worth every penny!!

I cannot imagine shaving without this stuff slabbered all over my face. I use it post-shave as well. It's one part of my shave that I don't mess with.

Leave on your face for a few minutes before you shave (I think next time I'll even try putting it on before showering) and then apply shaving cream. It does soften the hairs and the menthol gives quite a soothing/tingling sensation. It's quite an experience and may be a little too full on for people with sensitive skin though? All in all, very good.

I've been looking for a good non-oily pre shave product for some time and I've finally found it. Since using this product I've had the closest shaves ever. It leaves your skin feeling tingly, anticipating the shave to come! I'll definitely be trying other Proraso products.

This is the one product in the Proraso range I won't be without (I just bought two new tubs of it from MensBiz!). It is fantastic as pre-shave, and if I have had a rough shave ~ as we all do sometimes ~ it is wonderfully curative and healing afterwards. I wouldn't use it as an aftershave every day, though; the "Vicks vapor-rub" smell wouldn't be much of a chick-magnet!

Proraso pre & post softens the stubble ready for an easy, close and smooth shave. I love the zing in this product. It really helps to wake me up in the morning with its strong cooling abilities. Try this product if you want a baby bottom smooth shave.
