I have the white Proraso pre-shave cream as well as Cromwell & Cruther's shave oil and Proraso shave cream in the tube. Lately, I've been using the pre-shave cream before my shave cream, and then use the shave oil as an aftershave. This has been working splendidly! The oil quenches and soothes my skin perfectly and eliminates any irritation. Occasionally, I will use the pre-shave cream as well as the oil before I lather. Sometimes I'll use the pre-shave cream as an aftershave. Basically, my Proraso shave cream goes in the middle, and the rest all depends on your skins current mood!

I find one of the greatest after-shave myths is that it needs to say "after-shave".
Not true. After you shave, your skin needs to be soothed and hydrated. How you choose to do this is up to you!
