Thread: Prorazo Pre-Shave

Wondering if anyone has opinions on the Prorazo Pre-Shave cream? I have been using it off and on, it seems to stick to my blade and require more water to scrape off the cream between strokes but it also seems to help a little with glide (not sure if im just imagining this or not lol). Also it feels really good when I put it on before my shaving cream.

Anyone have opinions on their experiences with it and it's effect on shaving?

I use the sensitive skin/green tea version and really like it. I usually rub it in completely on wet skin a few minutes before lathering so I haven't experienced any of the negative traits you describe. Really improved the comfort of my shaves.

Interesting I usually just put some on and then put on the lather right away, try to get it on quick while my face is still wet. I also use the green tea version. I'll try rubbing it ito my face better and see what happens. I didn't mean to say it was a big deal either just that it stuck to my blade a little more but I think I might be using too much and not rubbing it in enough?

Well that was it.... I tried using it yesterday in smaller amounts and really working it into the skin and I had the best shave yet. Thx

I use Proraso preshave before every shave and feel it makes a difference. Feels good on my skin, too. It looks like you've already discovered the secret: just use a little dab and apply to wet skin. If your razor is scraping off layers of Proraso preshave you've used way too much.

Proraso is my go to product. The pre/post shave cream is something I love. To be honest, It would upset me to shave without it. seems like you figured out the trick to make sure to rub it all in and make sure its totally absorbed and the problem will never come back. Enjoy

I use Proraso pre-shave often, I've had some of my best shaves while using it. I love the scent most of all, sometime I'll use it in between shaves. Before Christmas my local drugstore had it on clearance for $2 so I bought all ten, gave a few away and still have 5 backups.

Love this stuff.love the menthol in it

Like everybody who has posted here so far, I have used Proraso pre-post shave cream to soften my tough beard. It used to be the only pre-shave I would even consider using. It's excellent.

Recently, however, I have experimented and found that Vitos is quite similar in its menthol kick and is just as good at softening my beard. Its a few bucks less than Proraso too.

I've also used Prep and 3P pre-post shaves, but they are somewhat pricier imho.

I love the tingle it gives. A shave just doesn't feel right without it now.
