So ive been looking at the Proraso shaving products and looking at grabbing the set for daily use. The question i have is are both the pre/post Cream and liquid cream aftershave seem to have the same use right? Just wondering if this is the case and if so, which do people preffer? ... or do i have it wrong do most people use both?
Proraso, pre/post & Liquid, whats diff?

They are both different products that can be used the same way, sort of.
The pre/post is a pre-shave that is thicker than the liquid cream aftershave. The pre/post has a lot of menthol in it which makes it feel like you have a bag of ice on your face after you apply it.
I only use it in the real hot months.
The ASB is totally different. It doesn't have the menthol kick of the pre/post but it is pretty soothing after a shave. A little goes a long way with both of these products.

I would definitely recommend the liquid ASB...a great aftershave balm (similar, but better than, Nivea ASB, IMHO)...the pre/post is like a thick noxema-substance...smelles just like the green tube...very cooling/mentholated...but doesn't seem to do much for my shaves (whether I use it before or after). The liquid ASB smells GREAT (barbershop-type scent), moisturizes (but isn't oily feeling)...but it doesn't have the menthol kick that pre/post and the green tube have.
Again, short version, if you're looking for an afterhsave, get the liquid ASB.

Two very different products.
The ASB (crema liquida) is an outstanding after shave. Nice scent, soothing, but doesn't cool. This is my favorite ASB
The Pre/Post, as the name implies, can be used as a pre shave as it softens the beard. It also works well as an after shave. I mostly use it those times when I get a rough shave or razor burn. In my experience nothing works better on razor burn as the Pre/Post. It's very cooling, moisturizing and has the consistency of Noxcema in a tub. It also has a strong menthol/eucalyptus smell.
