Thread: Prorazo Pre-Shave

I find that a light application put on after wetting my beard, and before I make lather tends to give me better shaves.

Try noxzema. A quarter of the price and the same feeling. Noxzema is mentholated..

i've given up on all proraso except for the green tea preshave...the menthol just overpowers any soap/cream afterwards and i have too many soaps and creams that i love the scent of more than menthol.

to the OP, a good tip is use it like lotion. rub it into your beard, if you can see any white on your face after rubbing it in for awhile, you used too much.

My routine is usually mineral oil and/or glycerine/water about 5 minutes before I shower. I haven't used a dedicated preshave treatment yet. Sounds like it is time to add another variable.

I also add a daub in with the lather for a smoother multi pass shave. Could also be just a placebo effect

I love the pre shave from Proraso but also have to mention avoid using too much!!! Accidentally did that this weekend and it goes from slick to epoxy on your blade in short order. Oh well lesson learned!
