Thread: Proraso shaving cream

I've recently started a new trend that I've found does wonders to calm down any post-shave burn or irritation.

After shaving with my _very nice_ TGQ Orange Patchouli soap, and after hitting any little bleeders (I have a couple of moles that I slice a little bit almost every time I shave) I'll dab a little bit of the green tube Proraso cream and rub it into my face, then follow it with a hot-water towel for a minute. Rinsing off the cream after the hot towel feels very nice (thanks to the eucalyptus and menthol) and I've noticed a distinct drop in post-shave burn and irritation. I'm tempted to try shaving every day again and see how it holds up...

I make uberlather using proraso green. It does go a long way in holding off any sign of burn.

I like the Proraso a lot. I use it with the Proraso pre-shave cream, it does a good job.
I have the white tu (soft skin) and the green tub.
The pre-shave cream smell a bit strong but it realy prep your beard.

I can't sing enough praises for Proraso.
The best thing to come out of Italy since Monica Bellucci

Actually that was pretty difficult reference search. I was trying to find a more modern than Sophia Loren starlette.

I was truly surprised by how few modern starlettes Italy is getting out there.

Thank God for Monica Bellucci

To me it smells like Noxema.

It almost smells like a Halls cough drop. The whole eucalyptus and menthol smell is quite enjoyable for me. It has a nice cooling feeling. Add a few drops of glycerin and you have some slick shave cream.

Yup, that's what I do too.

+5 on the family of proraso products. i use the preshave, shave, and aftershave balm and never, ever suffer from razor burn. Smells dandy too.

HA HAAA! That's it EXACTLY!! Or maybe crunching a Halls cough drop and then sucking on an ice cube!
