Thread: Proraso Single Blade

Let us know how the products perform, gents. I'm curious about how the scents will smell to real people.

I have a Bald Cypress tree in my yard. The wood doesn't have much of a scent that I can discern. I wonder if it's the same family of cypress.

There is a cypress that grows here that is commonly known as yellow cedar. I am wondering if it will smell like that. If it does I will be very happy with that. The yellow cedar smells nothing like the red cedar.

I am certain they will be nice. I have the red and green Proraso in the tubs.
The scents are nice, IMO. Not overpowering. I really dig the red.
I think it is the tough beard formula?
About out of my mainstay, the green AS. Great hot-weather AS.
Fades and goes in the humidity here. I dislike the ones which stay all day.

Anyhoo, I am hoping this will be a nice purchase.
Maximum glide sounds good as well.

I don't expect much from the 9.5 ounce 'IV bag'. but expect it to be heavy-duty and full of goodness.


This AS says it's regenerating and nourishing!
Wee shall see!The packaging (box) is wonderful on the AS.
An actual 'wax seal' of the lion on the top.
All the printing is dimensional. You can feel it.
The bottle is sweet. Heavy, all-encompassing glass around the white balm. Extraordinary, IMO.



Anyway, so far it feels nice. The mint seems to wake-up the lime.
The sort of thing you could use when you did not shave at all!
I keep smelling my hand!

Here! Phrank would dig this!

"The quick-absorbing formula regenerates the skin after the mechanical action of the razor, helping the skin to regain its hydrolipidic balance. The active hydrants and nutrients make the skin more elastic, smoother and softer, diminishing any tension, irritation or dryness. The skin becomes more even, compact and less shiny. The perfume has been proportioned to leave an enjoyable nuance that lasts without being invasive. Cologne can be used after the balm to strengthen the aroma."

It's winter time, so I'm rocking the Nivea cream, if I don't use lots of heavy duty Nivea, I turn into a dried up pile of leaves, or end up having skin of a dried up cadaver...so dry right now, I can hang my brush up and it'll be pretty much bone dry 3 hours later....

But it does look good, and of course, something else to try....thanks for the info, it does look good.

Oh, I was referring to the descriptors, Phrank!
Must be dry up there. Humid down here! No more t-shirts under the shirt.
Drug a fan up in the shop. AC kicked-on in the office.
Humid and in the 70's.
Summer more than winter here. IF we have winter, it is in January.
I got the heater down, just in case.

I just got some Wood and Spice balm from a friend. The scent is great, and the face feel is just like the other Proraso balms.

Well, the shaving cream arrived to-day.
Looks like a Christmas Day Proraso Azur Lime shave is coming on SOTD!

So my shave went swimmingly. The lather was applied to a damp- brush. Face-lathered.
A half-almond-size was squeezed onto the brush and swirling commenced.
A bit of dipping the tips a few times. Great application.
AWESOME glide.
Drying of the lather was no issue. The Azur Lime scent was great and 3 passes were handled easily. The old wedge blade which was honed 3 years ago and (shaved/stropped at Christmas only since) shaved better than ever. The glide is there. No doubt! Wonderful shave!

The AS balm is nice.
Just a bit and will do wonders for the skin, IMO. Stays-with a while. Very, very nice, IMO.
Great purchase and decision. Would definitely do it again~!

I'm making a list of creams to get my nephew who is about to start shaving. I figure to get him a brush and cream to use with one of those cartridge razors. Is Red the favorite of the Proraso creams that come in the roll tubes?
