Aloha!

I've been in this wet shaving game a long time as most of you gents have. I find that Proraso in gerneral is a high quality product line at a fair price for what you get in return. I have actually had peripheral contact with Stefania Martelli, the great-granddaughter of the founder of Proraso, and I know she is focused, competent and dedicated to making her brand one of the best in the world. BTW, I have no financial or investment interest in Proraso. I just like their products.

As for Proraso Pre-Shave, I have a glass container in my shaving den along with a dozen or so other Proraso shaving products. I use it whenever I do a Proraso shave. I tend to do theme shaves, and don't mix product lines. I am sure there are other products (one springs to mind that was mentioned in this thread) that are less expansive, and many feel these competitive products are just as good, but I stick with Proraso.

Mahalo!
