Proraso Goodness

[calgunner]

I love this stuff. This is my first try at using a shaving cream and I'm totally sold on Proraso. I was a soap fan but now I'm now a shaving cream fan and Proraso is my go to cream. I was surprised how little it takes to get a good lather going. Hell one tube could last several months. God I love Proraso.

I agree. Proraso creates a pretty rich lather and my wife loves the smell of it. You may want to try experimenting with noxema as a pre-shave, since the smell is so similar to Proraso.

You may already know this, but the C.O. Bigelow shave cream at Bath & Body Works is the same exact stuff. Last time I went they have a 2 for 1 sale so I stocked up on a couple of large tubes.

I started with Proraso, but I noticed that not after long I was curious about other creams and soaps just to have a little variety. I am currently waiting on some Taylor of Old Bond Street Rose shaving cream to be delivered tomorrow.

I bought some Proraso too. Believe it or not i'm a little underwhelmed. It lathers wonderfully, its going to last a long time but i thought it would be more bracing. Its not as cooling as i thought it would be. Maybe i got a bad batch, though it came from a reputable seller who provided a fabulous service.

You get most of the "brace" with your cold water rinse, after the shave. Then hit yourself with a splash of the Osage Rub. Then, when you can see straight again, finish with a nice Proraso balm rub.

If your Proraso shaving cream isn't sufficiently mentholated for your tastes, I recommend starting with some of the Proraso Pre/Post prior to lathering.

Me too. I bought some in Amsterdam for EUR 5.00 a tube ($7.30) and really liked it. I was on vacation in Tuscany last week and found the same stuff for EUR 1.22 a tube. I got another tube plus 2 tubes of Palmolive shaving cream. I tried it out and it seems decent but I like the Proraso better.

I also picked up the Proraso pre/after shave cream. To tell the truth, I don't see much difference between it and Noxema.

Im fairly new to DE shaving... so far i have only used Men-U and Proraso shave creams. I can say now that for the cost of Proraso it will be the main cream in my inventory for a long time to come. The Pre-Post cream is wonderful also!

I still really like Proraso, but when I originally read the reviews they sounded like it was very menthol-ly and heavily scented. Maybe my nose isn't spectacularly powerful, but I too was underwhelmed by the scent. I think I had a pre-conception in my head and the actuals were different, but nonetheless I was pleasantly surprised.

I have the 5.3 oz tube, and I think "months" is an understatement. I'm not seeing a new cream for at least 9 months. After a few months of use, it still seems like it's a full tube, LOL.

Great cream otherwise but Proraso does nothing for me in the tingly fresh feeling dept. Sadness ensues.

Maybe buying menthol or eucalyptus oil and mixing it in would help.
