Thread: Proraso

Proraso is my best shaving soap . I prefer it over TOBS.

+1 on the previous assesments of Proraso. It is a very good, reasonably priced shaving cream/soap. It comes in both a tube (cream) as well as a tub (hard cream/soap). Proraso was the first cream I used when I began wet shaving with a DE, then a straight razor. It performed well with both types of razors.

It even comes in a travel size tub that can be reused by squeezing some of the cream from the tube into it.

Any recommendations as to melting proraso?

+1 for Proraso. Haven't tried that many but it makes a great lather. Tried hot and cold shaving and works great, IMO.

It's pretty soft as is, so I'm sure it wouldn't be tough. I'm curious why you would want to though?

would melt just to have a nice form in a travel container as the 150 ml tub is really too big to travel with i think.

forgive me.. i have only used the cream in the tube.. but from what i understand.. the soap is soft enough to be able to cut some out and just press it into a new container.. am i wrong on this? how is it's softness compaired to cella?

It's not nearly as soft as Xpec, but still soft enough that you could poke your finger into it (when fresh).

No, you not wrong, it is soft enough.

I've always been happy with any Proraso, product I've tried, Creams soap in a tube, in a tub, and the pre/post shave in the green tub. Outstanding products, any newbee couldn't go wrong sticking with Proraso to start off with.

With the best of intentions, tinkersd
