About Proraso
Born in the 1920s in beautiful Florence where the products are still made, Proraso has loyally served three generations of well-groomed men. Today it enjoys the reputation as Italy's most venerable barber shop shaving brand. For eighty years Proraso has guarded its secret formula based on Eucalyptus Oil and, in a way that only a small family owned Italian business can, the recipe has been passed down from one generation to the next.

Author: Robert Talbot I have very sensitive skin, but this works a treat, very good value and gives an incredibly smooth shave. One of the best shaving products that I have ever used. 10/10
Author: Ryan This is one of the most recommended creams for beginners. Great value, very easy to get a good lather with and it leaves an enjoyable cooling sensation when removed from the face. 10/10
Author: Tony Keating Having recently 'crossed over' from shaving gel, I have to say I am very impressed with this product. Easy to use, good lather leaving a very smooth shave and cool feeling on my skin. 10/10
Author: S.M. I ordered this as my first shaving soap, along with the Merkur HD, when I first started wet shaving several weeks ago. Now that I've been using it for some time and the pot is almost empty, I can highly recommend this to everybody. A few swirls of the brush generates mountains of smooth and wonderfully-cushioning lather. The fragrance is very pleasant and clean, and doesn't linger after the shave, and the soap has a cooling sensation on the skin, especially with the cold-water splash at the end of the shave. This product is widely-recommended and touted as one of the best available for good reason. Try it out.
Author: Kevin Holmes Havin never really used shave creams having tending to stick to the usual Gillette gels i decided having recently acquired a Parker 89r razor i should back it up with an appropriate brush and cream. My Proraso cream arrived this weekend, so thought i would test it out. The shave was far smoother, and closer to the skin. The razor just flowed across the skin with the Eucalyptus leaving a slight tingle on the face. Hardly any cream is required on the brush to create a good lather, so i would highly recommend this product at a fantastic price
Author: Mark Woodcock I am very impressed with this cream. It is the best that I have tried. Very high quality and makes a rich creamy lather with very little effort. I would describe it as a hard cream or soft soap as it is not soft enough to scoop out of the jar. Very cooling and great scent. Great price and as you only need a small amount to make a lot of lather, the jar will last ages.
Author: Greg F I can see this becoming a permanent fixture in my shaving stuff. The first cream I've used and it's fairly easy to get a nice lather, even with the slightly rubbish brush I'm using. It's a hard cream, but the writing on the tub says it's a soap. I think the texture is probably a hybrid of cream and soap.
It smells nice, a clean and fresh scent, probably more suited to warmer months. I would actually prefer that the scent was stronger, it's pretty mild and doesn't last long. It leaves a lovely tingling feeling on the skin and has a cooling sensation. Overall it's easy to see why Proraso has been around for so long, a classic.
Author: Marc Richards (richo9@me.com) I can't see myself using any other cream/soap more than this one. Put it this way: Each morning after I've showered I look into my cabinet and select a shave soap to use, and 9 times out of 10 it's Proraso cream I'll reach for. It's a full, easy lather, it tracks smooth, it smells fine, and really leaves the skin feeling fresh and renewed. It makes shaving a pleasure, and importantly, it lathers on the face better than any other cream. Give it a go, for the price it punches well above it's weight.
Author: Ross Unsworth I agree with the other reviewers this is a great value product which I use most of the time. Good lubrication, volume of lather and scent. Perhaps the menthol effect is not to everybodies taste.
Author: David Thompson ordered this last friday it arrived on monday (outrageoulsy fast) i opened it and decided to wait for warmer weather to use, due to the fantastic weather this week ive used it every day. it lathers up great and is amazingly cooling. would definately recomend.
Author: Antonio Ditri Hi People my name is Tony im 19 years old and im only about to start wet shaving now as before i always used an electric razor but now i have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and have changed to wet shaving and i have just purchased the proraso cream but im not sure exactly how to use it do you have to add water to the cream or do you just apply it to your face straight out of the jar please help me and message back to me asap thanks.
Author: GEORGE GRAFAS Good cream, but the flavor of do not like at all.
Author: Thomas Wahlberg Earlier I tried the Proraso after shave and claimed it was the best thing I've put on my face after shaving. So I decided to give this cream a shot too. And this exceeded all my expectations! This is the first cream that has felt smooth and 100% irritation free during and after the shave. Even when going ATG I felt zero pulling, this cream makes your razor truly glide. I've enjoyed other creams too but they all seem to leave my skin a tiny bit irritated and the beard growth feels very hard and sharp. With this cream those problems were gone. The lather it produces is awesome too. I feel it took a bit more effort to get it down compared to T&H/TOBS/Bluebeard, but in the end it was a perfect lather. The scent is very strong, cooling and refreshing, just like the feel on your beard. Personally I enjoyed this very much and was surprised that it really felt so smooth and soothing while at the same time being fresh and strong. Highly recommended, especially for dry and sensitive skin like mine. 5/5
Author: Laurence Rothschild I am relatively knew to DE shaving, always used a cartridge razor with a matching gel. I always got a touch annoyed at how the main companies can ask so much for their products and so I opted to go the Cut throat way and the DE razor method. On buying a cheaper shaving soap I thought it was a little dry on the skin and so after trying out that one I thought its time to try some proper stuff! I bought this Proraso Shaving cream and I am amazed at the small amount needed to make such a lather. A small marrow fat pea amount made enough and more to have three passes over my stubbly mug and it was rather good ya... This is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone who has a wet shave. My vote ? 10 out of 10
