    Difference for me has to do with the presence of ammonium hydroxide in the formulation of Noxzema, whereas Proraso does not have this. The North American Noxzema formulation, and all its big-box generic variants, allows for an ammonia gas release direct into the nostrils. Not all that fun to experience, prior to the shave, which I have.

    You may have an allergy to noxema, but to the millions of people using it everyday, it's been a staple for longer than I've been on the earth. Tc

    I like the Proraso, but not when I face lather. I find if a face lather I scrub it off and get very little benefit. Unfortunately I face lather most of the time.

    The best for me is a quick smear of silicone shaving oil. It'll still be there after the shave as well.
