Thread: Proraso Preshave Cream

I just had to pay tribute to this amazing product. I've been straight razor shaving for like two months and I've loved it since the beginning and although I've had trouble here and there, over all the results compared to disposables have been better and definitely the experience is better. Now just to put things in perspective, at least the results have been just marginally better which is good. So I've been getting just slightly better shaved (in closeness) and the sensitivity of my skin is such that I can actually shave every day no problem (big improvement) and the ritual side of it prep, building lather, stropping.... a joy.

So with this preshave cream the prep side is just a little bit better experience, but better which is good. Its in the results where this product shines. I haven't gotten so comfortable with straight razor shaving that I shave ATG yet. Usually its one pass, sometimes two, usually WTG sometimes XTG. So I shaved with this preshave cream and shaved WTG two passes and I have to say I nearly got a ATG type result. AMAZING!!!

The shave was a joy, even less irritating than straight without preshave, which is already less irritating than disposables. The menthol was a great feeling, I got a nice shine to my face afterwards. I just can't say enough about this product. It like transforms my face to better except the straight razor for shaving. Its almost like before I would get something like a goose bump affect on my face more on my chin and the preshave just numbed that so it didn't appear and I could just cut really nice the hairs. And then before even with a really nice shave with no sensitivity issues, during the day the face was a little not sensitive but I don't know how to explain its just different, not like the feeling after many days of not shaving your face is completely malleable and free of any issues. With this preshave cream hours after none of that feeling, great. Also the results I got were without the benifit of a nice hot shower to really prep the whiskers and face.

If you have sensitive skin, and even if you don't the feeling it gives while shaving is enough to buy it. I'm between sensitive and not, so for sure if you have even a little sensitivity to your face, try this stuff out you'll see it works wonders.
