Thread: Proraso Preshave

Agreed good stuff, WONT shave with out it. I use before and after shower before I shave, gets my wiskers nice and soft.

Great stuff. I used oil before I found Proraso. Gave away the oil.

I never got much out of their pre-shave stuff. I get better results using Bigelow's Menthol Hair Conditioner - same cooling, better glide.

I consider Proraso more of a skin conditioner, rather than a "glide" product. You can't compare it to oil or similar products because I don't think that glide is its intended purpose. But I could be wrong.....

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.

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.

Best Regards Kenny

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