My father's family is from Abruzzi. I grew up understanding that there were two types of people in the world. Italians and those who wanted to be! When I started wet shaving, Proraso and Cella were among my first purchases and I added the inexpensive Omega starter kit with soap, stand and boar brush. Every day for me starts with Proraso blue pre shave and I've added Proraso red to the den as well. Not hard or me to particpate in this shave-off. I just retired a Bolzano blade but I can fire up a new one this week.

Hmmm...?? Proraso Blue pre-shave has been released just a few months ago. Not very traditional to say the least. 🙄

Of all the great Italian shaving products, I'd rate these Proraso pre-shave creams as the least useful, as they do virtually nothing to advance the quality of the shave. I'd rather apply them post-shave, as that makes more sense. Originally, this is how it was labeled Proraso crema pre e dopo barba and the only one available was the green Eucalyptus & Menthol.
 
Hard to beat Italy in the software department. Here's my "all-Italian" Vetiver Sunday shave

Dave, don't you think you are cheating here by using the Italian oldest brand and its top performing cream?
