Proraso pre/post what am I doing wrong

[binowatch]

I picked up some Proraso pre/post cream. I love the menthol feel, esp after using the shave cream and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and comfortable. BUT-both times I used it I wound up with white residue on my face after drying that I had to wipe off with a wet wash cloth. My face was wet when I applied it and I thought I had massaged it in thoroughly. What am I doing wrong??

You're using too much. A little goes a looooooong way with this stuff.

Don't use it as a "post" product. I know some do, most don't though. I love it as a pre product before using Proraso soap or cream, but feel that, besides the residue, it doesn't absorb well and leaves my faces kinda dry if I try to use it after. Go with their splash and, or balm instead as they work very well.

With you on this one - I use it pre- only and am very happy with it.

Also, just picked up the milder, Aloe and Green Tea version which I'm finding is great for when using a non-Proraso shave cream and not wanting to overpower its scent with eucalyptus.

Thanks for the advice-will try less and if that doesn't work will you as a preshave.

Never tried it, but have looked at it a few times in the store. Think I'll pick some up and give it a try.
