I have been wetshaving for many years and know my beard extremely well. I have a very tough, coarse beard and have tried many pre-shave products including Proraso, many oils and other products. I was recommended this by a barber in the Gentlemans Shop so I had to try it.
I have to admit I was sceptical at first but boy was I surprised. This stuff softens my beard like nothing else and even prolongs the life of blades because it works so well. You need to let it "soak" for a few minutes but I have never used a product that has made such a difference to my beard prior to shaving.
It might not make such a difference to softer beards but I can tell you from experience that it significantly softens your stubble if you are in my category.
It knocks spots off Proraso pre/post shave and anything else I have tried and I couldn't imagine shaving without it now.
It might not smell the best, or come in the fanciest container, but it is the most effective shaving product I have tried in 27 years of shaving and I have tried plenty!
N.B It doesn't lather or moisturise but I wasn't going to mark it down for that.
