Thread: Proraso Preshave

I'm certainly a fan. It really improves my shaves when I use it. I pretty much won't try for a BBS without it anymore.

If I had a put a numeric value, I'd say Proraso Pre improves the comfort level by about 20%. Plus I love the menthol.

So if you were to use a hot towel as part of your pre-shave routine... would you

1) Hot Shower
2) Apply Pre-shave proraso
3) make and apply lather
4) heat and apply towel to face
5) take off towel and apply lather
6) shave

Or is that the wrong sequence?

This is one product i find i use almost every shave just spectacular.

If it works, then its' the right way to do it!!

I would move the proraso pre-shave from step #2 to step #5, just before lathering and shaving. This way works better for me, and also the menthol makes the shave more enjoyable.

Really like the Proraso products too. I was on the fence on the pre shave but I think here you have talked me into giving it a try. Thanks, just what I need, more stuff.

I enjoy Proraso as well. I especially like the cooling sensation & the scent. Old timey barbershop feel. Great product.

Well:

I used Castle Forbes It works ok but what it make me change was the price 40 something high is too much. I try Proraso and let me tell you is A # 1. No questions ask, I don't like oils due to the fact it create permanent damage to the brush in the future and is leave the face kind of gloosy. Proraso is what it is.

thanks

I notice that Proraso Pre-shave is now offered in both a regular and a "new formula" version.
I haven't tried either one, but I want to give it a go.

What's the difference between the two formulas? Has anyone tried them both? And how did
it work for you?

Thanks in advance.
