Proraso red cream holy cow!

[Swank]

Oh man another good, no great shave. I used a Williams puck for years on end but now I have been enlightened.

Shark blade, Lord L6, alum stone, Whiskey Woods AS, Proraso cream in my aliexpress bowl whipped up. Nice thick lather that is easier to control than with a stick. Easy to determine water content-just a few drops and wallah. Thick and cushiony lather with no cuts or weepers. Two passes with the final pass using Cremo because I can and it's fun. I'm not ready to not use Cremo during a shave lol. Proraso would have easily been fine for 3 passes but I'm a Cremo addict somebody stop me. I will eventually do an all-Proraso shave someday I'm sure.

Amazing stuff and it's a forever cream in my rotation. Amazing fun to plan and decide what tools I'm going to use for a shave. Proraso is a 5 star product for sure. Look out world!

If you are new and haven't tried it, get you some. The scent is divine too.

Proraso Red is solid.

I like it better than TOBS Sandalwood, much creamier!

With summer approaching try some Proraso Green (Eukalyptus & Menthol) for a refreshing and cooling shave

Poroaso has string following because the products work.

Not pricy, fair price, stuff works for many.

Some people buy what THEY LIKE BETTER.

Red and green are great!
The lime azur is my favorite however

I'll have to try them. Cremo is rock bottom excellent too, no doubt about it imo. But the Proraso whipped up in my bowl is easier to apply than squirting the Cremo onto my fingers and spreading it around. Like it matters I know. Not complaining. Head to head, Proraso might have a slight edge even.

I'm just floored by all these great shaving products and haven't been disappointed yet except for maybe some blades that tug. Astras are great but I think I may even leave them behind for now because Feathers and Sharks are so good. Astras feel like they are pulling the whiskers out by the roots compared with the slicing off the Feathers do. And Astras are highly regarded. YMMV

Ya so many great products …
If you like feathers give Kai blades a try. I prefer them over feather.

Proraso è un orgoglio italiano dal 1908.

P.S. Proraso is an Italian pride since 1908.

Well deserved! I'm positively floored by the qualities and results I got with it.

If someone asked me what to start with Proraso red in a tube would be my answer.

Any of their creams in a tube will be a good recommendation for someone just starting out or looking for a great product in general

I tried everything in their lineup aside from the White, did I miss out on something?

 

[dotKomo]

The soaps are great too - easy to lather. The red is my favorite, though I really like the green in hot summer weather. It gives a nice eucalyptus kick!

What if the oats and green tea in the white Proraso turn out to be the scent of your life?

(Belated) Welcome to B&B, Sir Swank!

Indeed, your shave cream taste is excellent!

 

[Rhody]

Since we’re piling on the praise I’ll also add that I’m a huge fan of the green lid preshave. I love the menthol and scent. I buy the large tub so I can use it to my heart’s content.

 

[Curkio]

Red cream is my favourite of the lot. For me I find it much slicker than the rest. Great post feel too thanks to the shea butter.

I would agree.
