Looks like the same stuff to me RR! (new label though)
I've gotten the hang of making a much thicker lather like in that link above and it's made quite the different. Shaving is much smoother now and I'm left much far less irritation.Scootch said:Thanks, Kyle. That looks like a great lather. I'll give that a go tomorrow morning.
McNutt said:I tried it today for the first time and used it both pre and post. I've used Nivea before as a preshave cream and found it almost impossible to build up a good lather on my face afterwards. With the Proraso I decided to whip up a lather in a bowl and then apply it to my face. I used Proraso soap and the lather came out even better than when built up directly on my face.
I can't say how much the pre helped me, but the shave was incredible. It was one of those shaves where everything seemed to just work out. I followed it up with a post layer and for the rest of the day my face just felt good. I seemed to have stumbled upon the triple crown here and can't wait to try it again.
The smell of the pre/post is pretty strong though and it's not something I care to smell like. I need to get an opinion on how strong the smell is to others when I use it as a post.
