A pre and post shave cream that refreshes and softens!
For over 80 years Proraso has been the leading Italian barber shop shaving brand. This pre and post shave cream containing Eucalyptus Oil will refresh the face and soften the beard when used before shaving and will reduce stinging and irritation when applied afterwards.
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.
Have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger? Is shaving lather really important?, Should I shave with or against the grain? What causes razor bumps and how can I get rid of them? Feel free to ask any pressing question you want answering.
Author: Paul Darcy Wow my face is alive!! Just applied this post shave and it feels amazing. It smells like Vicks Vaporub. My skin feels really cool and the sensation lasts for about 20 minutes. You've gotta try this!!
Author: Justin Very good pre-shave cream.
I have used various different oils before, including the Taylor Of Old Bond Street Essential Oil which was expensive. This cream is a lot better, and you get the menthol 'burn' on your skin which really makes the beard hairs soft.
I no longer get shaving rash and this cream makes ever pass smooth, against and with the grain.
Author: Marius Larsen It says it's both a pre and a postshave product. In my opinion, it works best as a pre. Consider an aftershave as post.
I like to use my cream/soap of the day as a preshave, but if you like a designated preshave product then this is a good choise. It's mentholated, so keep that in mind when considering buying it. Proraso pre/post works better then most oils in softening the beard, and is much cheaper.
Author: Ade Manning Startling! Put enough on and it makes your eyes water! Great product, used it as an after shave balm and it does certainly feel fresh and invigorating. More of a 'paste' feel, rather than a classic after shave lotion ( normally use a Proraso or Dr Galen - now obsolete - with grape seed extract ), but rubs in well and keeps the chin smooth. Starting to use this daily now.
Author: Russell Burton I am not usually impressed enough with anything to bother writing a review, but for this I'll make an exception. Having used pre shave oils, and find that they improve the shave but not by much, this really does help. I used to make three passes with the razor, with, accross and against the grain. With this product I only need two, with and against. Leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed too.
Author: Mikko Fallenius I used to use only shaving cream when shaving. When I use this as a pre-shave cream, it makes my shaving a lot easier and safer. I don't get razor burn anymore. I carefully rub small amounts of Proraso Pre Shaving Cream onto a wet face until it feels slippery. Then I apply shaving cream with a shaving brush and start shaving. A 100ml jar of this lasts surprisingly long when you remember to use it sparingly. A great product.
Author: Michael Ernstoff I shaved off my beard about 5 years ago and since then I have been on a quest to get a decent shave without hurting my skin. I have tried electric shavers, DE and cartridge blades, various different soaps and creams (cheap and luxury). Using this as a pre-shave has made more difference than anything else I have tried. I wish I had found it earlier.
So good it has made me want to write a review (for the first time ever).
Author: Jon Never used a pre shave balm before but after reading many reviews ordered this little jar of balm.
In short its like rubbing acid on your face and is awesome. Needless to say it wakes you up in the morning. It only requires a small pea sized ball rubbed into your face before applying shaving foam. No need to say much more as many already have. Does what it says on the tin
I would like to add that i wouldn't ever use it as a post shave balm. This is due to its relative expense and i am currently a great fan of alcohol free face moisturiser as shaving soap tends to dry my face out.
Author: Nicholas Lambert This has a little bit more of a menthol smell than the proraso shaving cream but used before and after the shave it feels great, a tiny amount will be plenty, so i suspect this will last for ages!
Author: Michael Vitalis I use this a preshave cream and really like it. It smells great and the menthol ting gets your face going! It also softens the bristles, helping make your shave smoother.
Author: Andy Woolley Amazing stuff, made getting that close shave so much easier. Leaves you feeling invigorated after with a fresh sensation. Use only a tint amount, before and after.
Author: Arsalan Karimi This is the most amazing product i have ever used. i have been wetshaving for the past 5 years and it has only been a year ive used he proraso pre/after shave cream.
i was amazed the first time how good it smells, feels and the awsome protection it gives.
This product is soo good that i give samples away to friends to try and most of them have baught the product and are now HOOKED on it hehe!!
i use this with the proraso shaving cream and aftershave balm. i use it before i apply the shaving cream with my brush, EVERYTIME i apply the shaving cream i use this cream before. and then i was my face with cold water, let it dry, apply the cream again. leave it on for 5 min and then apply the aftershave balm
makes my day, EVERY day!
Author: Ke-Nost I have been using this cream for about 7 months now and I love it. You can use it as a post shave cream and it does an OK job as one but I consider this as a pre shave cream only, if you want a good post shave cream I would recommend Proraso's aftershave balm. What makes this cream so great is that it's cheap, gives your skin a nice cool feeling since it's mentholated and in my opinion the best pre shave cream that is out there and is much better than many more expensive pre shave creams on the market.
