Interesting comment.

The one and only time I developed skin rash from a shaving product was from Proraso Pre-shave.
Didn't think it could be Proraso, but stopped using it for a while anyway and tried it a few weeks later again - with the same result.

I believed this to be a one off reaction to this particular tub, tossed it and later tried another one without adverse skin reaction.
Still, it goes to prove that if the balance of chemical ingredients in Proraso is disturbed it can lead to skin rashes.

As I was never that impressed with Proraso in the first place, I use it now even less and prefer less "chemical", more dermatologically proven products.

Today I used Proraso Pre-post shaving cream (Eucalyptus&Menthol) for the first tıme. I'm very impressed with the menthol effect. Even if I didn't have a shower before I shave, I think this cream helped to prepare my beard for shave very vell. I need to use it for about 2 weeks at least for further comments but first impression is, it's a very nice product.

I use the white as a pre and post.

After wetting my face and giving it a wash, I'll rub in some white Proraso taking my time on it, lather up then shave. Once I'm acceptably smooth I'll rub it in again quite well though more gently and finish with cold water to the face.

Am I the only person that opens the lid and submerges my Proraso in the hot water? It doesn't seem to loosen or contaminate the water and when it's slightly warm/wet it rubs in really nicely, plus it doesn't give the cold feeling against the face you've just spent minutes heating up.

I also put hot water in my Proraso tub, although I've never used the white, only green. Along with the nice feeling on the face, I find that it also lathers up much better.

All of these "+1 Noxema" posts instead of Proraso Green...

What about us Proraso White users?

I really like the pre-shave. It makes my face feel great. I could stop there, as that's all I really need to justify having it. But I will add that I "perceive" that it hardens my whiskers giving me a closer shave. That's a bonus.

I don't use it religiously, but I am always glad when I do use it. It blends well with their shaving cream.

Give it a try.

i had a tub of green (i think) and used it pre and post for a while, it certainlt soothed my skin a bit, but made me smell like vicks vap-o-rub. i subsequently started using a vitamin e cream pre and post which worked very well, helped my skin to heal and smelled much less, now i dont use anything pre or post except a bit of aftershave.
