Shaving Cream Tube Protective

Proraso was recommended to me about four years ago and with good reason. They have a long Italian history of making a fabulous shaving cream. I have been used to using their original menthol cream and soap which gave me that good morning wake-up refreshment that I needed without drying my skin.I saw this variant and thought I would give it a try. It is formulated for sensitive skin containing aloe vera and vitamin E. Inconsistent true form using a smaller amount, say the size of a small almond, and a badger brush gave a rich creamy thick lather that was not foamy or too thin. It spread really nicely on the skin. There is very little, I would even say no sent, to the cream which is a stark contrast to its original formula which could make your eyes water. In true proraso form my razor glided effortlessly with no harshness or burning/irritation at any time.Post-shave my skin was left feeling smooth and moisturised unlike many other shaving creams I have tried. I did not feel the need to using Alum bar either.I would highly recommend the shaving cream for a comfortable shave especially if you want something with very little aroma.

I have been using Proraso shave cream for a number of years now and I have to say this is the nicest smelling one out of them all. The cream itself is fantastic and you get a really close and smooth shave every time even with a cheaper razor. I would highly recommend this shave cream.

Great product. I am 67 and this gives me the best shave I have ever had .

I have now tried all of the Proraso shaving creams. This one, like the others gives an excellent smooth shave. The lather is thick (I use a Parker pure badger brush, which I highly recommend) with a good consistency. This cream obviously has some menthol in its ingredients. The only reason I have given it four stars is the smell. Difficult to describe…..hint of citrus, hint of eucalyptus, not really to my liking. I much prefer the red shaving cream scent. Once I have finished this tube I will go back to the Proraso red.

Easy to build a lather, slick and moisturising. The smell is really nice, a little like the green one but less menthol and more liquorice in it. Very pleasant and clean smelling.

Three of the best barber shaves I ever had were Barbers in Italy, Turkey and Golders Green in London and all of them were using Proraso. So pretty much unnecessary to say why I use Proraso except that at the age of 64 I've tried a fair few although not all of them and Proraso is best for me.Shaving cream is pre-wetted shaving soap or as some would have it, "pre-lathered" which is quicker to use. Apply a walnut size or less quantity to your face and lather with a wetted brush wetting the brush more as necessary Or if lathering on the face is not liked do it on the palm of your hand. Either way the goal is the same as with shaving soap to fill the brush with lather and then put the lather on the face Personally, I prefer a super badger brush with shaving cream which is softer for lathering directly on the face. On the other hand for shaving soap lathered in a bowl I would use pure badger or boar hair.This particular shaving cream is from the blue range which is protective in that it provides a close comfortable shave. It is not for sensitive skin though: For that the white range is needed. Aloe though is a good choice for those who tend to suffer from an occasional acne breakout or indeed shaver's rash. Anyone who has splashed on some amber and musk aftershave while traversing the Cumbrian fells will recognise the base notes and top note of ferns but will be forgiven if they mistakenly refer to it as grass.Many of my reviews have a critical element to them but quite frankly I don't find anything to be critical about. The only thing I can think of is that the cap is rather narrow and the tube falls over when rested on the cap: A wider cap would be awesome. I use it with Edwin Jagger Super Badger large size brush, Edwin Jagger DE89 razor and Derby blades but it works equally well with my Muhle R89 and both razors are non-agressive closed comb.

This is okay when applied with a hand, but even better when using a shaving brush. You can apply it directly from brush to the skin or lather in a bowl or mug. Only a tiny amount, similar to how much toothpaste you'd put on a toothbrush, is needed to whip up more than enough lather for a multi pass shave, with this providing good slickness, cushion, and protection.Use it anywhere on your body, it has a delicate scent which is a bit like fresh apple, and leaves the skin feeling good. I've been using it for months and see this one tube lasting a couple of years, if not more, so the value for money is absurdly good.

I have heard of Proraso many times and had it recommended to me to before purchasing. 80 years Proraso has been the leading Italian barber shop shaving brand. This new formula has been developed to create ample protective lather for a multi pass shave and has a very fresh, clean scent.Having sensitive skin meant i chose this one out of the line of products they made. It contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to help sooth and keep the skin fresh.This is best applied using a shaving brush and not by hand as you'll be able to use less and get a good lather. As for shaving I used a DE blade which was perfect and I didn't feel any harshness or burning, although I am still perfecting my technique and get a few nicks here and there, but this is not due to the shaving foam.Post shave my skin felt clean and fresh and I didn't have any shaving rash.I would highly recommend the shaving cream for a comfortable shave.

Crema muy buena. Con un olor clásico sin más pero suficiente para el día a día. Seguro que hay más sofisticada pero si la consigues a un buen precio te la recomiendo

Very smooth shave

Das ist nun meine vierte Creme und meine Sammlung von Proraso ist komplett. Wie immer guter Schaum, sehr ergiebig und als Schüler auch erschwinglich. Der Geruch ist sehr dezent und riecht nach Aloe Vera, mit leichten süßen Hintergrund, aber in meiner Nase nicht muffelig und sehr schwach. Es gibt keinen kühlenden Effekt, aber ein sehr angenehmes Hautgefühl.

Elle monte bien à condition de mettre la bonne quantité d'eau (comme avec tous les savons/crèmes!), je n'ai pas eu de problème de séchage, mais je me rase au rasoir de sûreté, et cela prend donc moins de temps qu'au coupe-chou. Étant visiblement allergique à un constituant des produits Proraso verts (probablement l'eucalyptus), je me suis tourné vers cette crème avec une petite appréhension tout de même. Mais j'ai bien fait : elle est vraiment confortable !Bon, c'est de la crème (c'est-à-dire du savon pré-moussé), donc le tube se vide plus vite qu'un pot de savon à prix égal, c'est normal. Ceci étant, elle est bon marché et fait parfaitement son travail : pas de quoi s'en plaindre, il faut le savoir, c'est tout ! N'en ayant pas encore vidé un, je ne saurais pas dire combien de temps il me fera, mais on doit trouver l'information assez facilement sur internet.L'odeur est assez discrète, elle me plaît, mais c'est quelque chose de très personnel, à chacun ses préférences. Je trouve l'odeur plus légère que les "séries" verte (menthol / eucalyptus) et rouge (bois de santal / beurre de karité), je n'ai pas (encore) essayé les produits blancs. Elle protège très bien, je n'ai ni irritations ni peau qui tire : bref, je la recommande, et j'en rachèterai !

I went back to wet shaving (from a Braun electric razor) early this year. After 30 years of shaving almost every day with the electric, I retired and now only shave 2-3 times a week. Electric just didn't work for that. After a few months with seveal different multiblade razors, I wasn't satisfied. In July, a started using a DE razor. For reference I use a Viking with the slightly longer handle. After a few weeks of shaving, getting my technique down and testing several popular blades, I have settled on, and regularly use Feather blades. I have used the standard Proraso tube, as well as this one, Cremo, and Taylor of Old Bond Steet St. James collection in a tub. I have come to prefer the Taylor.I still give this 5 stars overall. If there were 1/2 stars, I might take 1/2 off, but only COMPARATIVELY to the Taylor (maybe fairer to say Taylor would get a 5+). This creme has a very nice fresh smell and is supposed to be easier on the skin. I am not sure I see any difference from the regular Proraso Cream. It lathers well with a brush and lubricates reasonbly well. But the lather doesn't last well. I find that by the time I finish one side of my face the remaining lather nas thinned out and dried some and I have to constantly re-lather. But that is not a huge deal. The TOB lather lasts much longer, and lubricates better in my opinion. For tube cream users I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. I really like the Proraso products and use their aftershave and a couple of their colognes regularly now.
