The routine that has given me the best shave over
the years is Proraso pre-shave, followed by Proraso
Green creme. Either apply the pre-shave, then build
lather in a bowl, apply the lather, strop, shave, OR
apply the pre-shave, strop, then build lather on your
face and shave.

Absolutely my favourite shave -- I'm finding it really
hard to use anything else, and my collection of soaps
and cremes has shrunken dramatically as a result.
