From the manufacturer
Proraso Shave 
Since 1948. Not just a great brand, Proraso is a piece of Italian history, one of unequalled fame and reputation. An excellence that has transformed shaving habits and, for four generations, offered a complete shaving method, designed specifically for those wanting to look perfectly groomed.
Pre-Shave Cream
With its particularly rich, thick texture, Proraso Pre-Shave Cream preps the skin for a close shave by softening the beard, and like an invisible shield, adding an extra layer of protection to the skin. The first of its kind, changing the shaving world forever.
Shaving Soap Tube
This creamy soap produces a thick, elastic lather and is enriched with natural ingredients that make it particularly rich. Made with a special “hot soap” process, it’s left to mature in small batches for 3 days, producing an extremely thick, creamy soap producing a soft, rich, unparalleled lather.
Shave Soap in Jar
Made following a rigorous “hot soap” process, during which the soap is poured while hot and left to mature for 10 days in small batches, when much of the moisture evaporates, resulting in a more concentrated, richer semi-solid soap that produces a rich lather and highest quality shave with a brush.
Shave Foam
Our Shave Foams, based on vegetable stearin, are enriched with natural ingredients for a particularly rich lather that protects skin and enhances the razor’s glide.
After Shave Lotion
Provides immediate relief after shaving and completes the shaving ritual. Enriched with natural ingredients for each specific skin type’s formula, this traditional splash helps tone and cool post-shave, while softening the skin and encouraging elasticity.
After Shave Balm
This alcohol-free balm helps to restore and protect skin, and soothe any post-shave irritation or inflammation, while softening the skin and encouraging elasticity. Skin is left nourished and supple.
Shave Brush
Made with premium quality natural boar bristles, whose length and stiffness have been specially designed to create the best soapy lather. Extended natural bristles create a perfect lather and delicately, yet energetically, massage the beard. The choice of Italian barbers.
Post Shave Stone
Owing to its naturally astringent properties, this 100% natural Potassium Alum stone is an ideal post-shave companion to reduce redness, soothe, tone and disinfect the skin, and work as a styptic to help stop the bleeding of small cuts or nicks. The hallmark of a professional shave.

An essential part of my shaving ritual
I think any man who’s found his way here cares about the shaving ritual just as much (if not more so) than the results. Honestly, these days a disposable razor cartridge, though more expensive than a more traditional shave with a double sided safety razor, does the job just fine, with no more than a splash of water. When I travel, I leave my full shaving kit at home, pack a Gillette Fusion, and don’t bother with shaving cream when I’m at the hotel. It doesn’t cut up my face, it’s not as close a shave, but it’s a perfectly serviceable and very quick method of keeping the hairs on my face appropriately short. The blades even have some lotion built in now. I imagine electric razors are pretty good these days too.What attracted me to an older style wet shave was the ritual, the meditation. When you stand in front of a sink and spend more than the absolutely necessary amount of time maintaining your beard hairs, it’s a quiet time to think, do something traditional, and frankly indulge yourself a bit in a classy, manly way. You save money in the long run, certainly, and you do get a closer shave, but the time you spend doing it has other benefits as well. It’s a time when you can slow down, take your time to do something right, reward yourself with a luxury you’ve earned. I frequently think about my grandfathers shaving in much the same way. Often I just think about things I wouldn’t have time for otherwise. The ritual is a great way to center oneself at the start of the day before things get busy. I could shave in less than a minute from start to finish, but I choose not to when I’m at home. Taking time to shave more traditionally, more carefully, it absolutely worth it most days.Proraso has a well-deserved reputation for its shaving soap. I use it, I love it, it’s the only soap I use. Paired with a silvertip badger brush, it produces the best lather I’ve ever seen, and the best shave possible. The Italians know shaving, and those green tubs of Proraso shaving soap are iconic.It does take time to get the brush and soap ready, however. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you guys, shaving this way is best not rushed, and each step needs to be followed with the proper care and attention. While that’s going on, however, there is another aspect of the shaving ritual that should be followed, and that is the preparation of the face to be shaved. It’s good to wet the face of course, and the best time to shave is right after a shower, while the hairs and skin are moist and supple. I would postulate that another step can be done to achieve an even better shave. That step, is the product you are considering buying right now.Proraso claims that the combination of ingredients in this pre-shave cream will make the skin and hairs softer and make your shave easier. I can’t contradict those claims. I have found that since I began using this product several years ago, I’ve cut myself less. I can’t say for certain if it’s the stubble offering less resistance to the blade, the skin being healthier and less likely to be damaged, or simply the slickness of the cream under the shaving soap helping the blade glide more easily. Perhaps it’s all three. I can tell you it has a lovely cooling effect on the skin, and the scent is, as many have reviewed, quite pleasant. My girlfriend loves it, and who am I to argue with her wanting to put her face near mine?As suggested, I put the cream on my face immediately after a shower, or after wetting my face if I’m shaving at some other time of day. I then let it sit, while I get the rest of my ritual set up. By the time the soap is ready, I’ve got plenty of great lather in my brush, and everything else in place, the pre-shave cream has really done its work, soaked into the skin and hairs, and I can apply the shaving soap confidently knowing I’m going to have a great shave.After shaving, I clean up, apply my alum block, and generally don’t find many if any cuts. I use an aftershave balm just to keep the skin healthy until my next time shaving, but I always like to start with this stuff here. The whole process does take a while, but if you’re wondering if it’s worth it, adding a pre-shave cream, for me the answer is a definite yes. I wouldn’t say I have particularly sensitive skin, but with the dry air where I live, especially in winter, I try to take care of it as best I can. I’ve noticed my forehead, which I obviously don’t shave, and don’t use this product on, does tend to get irritated by the dry winter air more readily than the skin I run a razor across most days, and I think the combination of this product and my aftershave balm are responsible.The jar does last a while, so if you just want to try it out first, pick up a single jar and buy another when you start getting low, but it’ll be a while.

Why I Like This/What It Does (Updated 7/23/19)
The same review applies, but please note:I’ve since decided that I prefer “Prep” for pre shave with “Taylor of Old Bond Street” (TOBS) now for shave. The results are similar, but both products are much easier on the skin. Prep is so gentle, that it can be left on all day as aftershave, burn treatment, diaper rash, etc. It doesn’t work in the “chemically way” that both Proraso products work. While TOBS is very gentle and creamy without any bite. I stand by my review of both Proraso products, but the extra comfort from Prep+TOBS is something I quickly grew to like. With so many people giving likes to my review, I wanted to make sure people got this update. So if you’re happy with both Prorazo pre / Prorazo shave, then you’re good. However, if the Proraso has a little too much chemical bite for you, then I’d suggest trying Prep+TOBS. I don’t know if it matters, but I specifically used TOBS “Eton College”. It took time to find the perfect mix, but I don’t think I need to bother with anymore experimenting. Now for the original review that somehow became a blog …Background:After Gillette decided to smear men, it was time to learn to shave with high quality, double edge razors, made by companies that don’t hate men. So I experimented with an Edwin Jagger DE shaver (perfect for beginners), and a mix of creams (but not pre shave).After Learning the Ropes:I was using Proraso shaving cream in a tube, but my shaving was taking forever to complete due to too many swipes with the blade in the same spot I had to take (and I’m conservative, I don’t do all this against the grain stuff–it causes too many issues for me). The cream seemed to sit on the skin, but not mix with the skin, thus defeating the purpose.Testing Pre Shave:At first I wasn’t sure what Pre Shave actually did for me. Now I love Pre shave, because it makes the shave much faster, taking only 1-2 swipes, and this means much less abuse to the skin.HERE’S HOW I SHAVE WITH PRE SHAVE:Jump in the shower, get your face wet. Then apply a good amount of Pre Shave (at least 2 peas). Next (I don’t think you need to wait 3 minutes, 1 is probably fine), get the cream tube, place about an inch directly in your hand (no brush needed). Mix it vigorously with just a small amount of water added to your hands. Apply it to your face, by rubbing it in good. Grab your razor, and start shaving (with the Jagger use Feather blades–don’t be scared). Remember, use little pressure, let the Pre Shave and cream make the environment right, so the tool does the work without force. You’ll notice that it all goes in one shot. If you missed a spot, you rub the spot again with some water if needed (there will still be lots of pre shave and cream to reactivate). Also, don’t be foolish and shave against the grain at first, you might not need to anyway. If needed, use an after shave lotion to sooth, not alcohol based perfume to burn.The Aftermath:I love pre shave, because I understand why it works well. Think of it as making the shave go smoothly by starting and finishing without all the drama in the middle.Other Important Notes for Planning:Don’t assume you know which way your whiskers face. If you look closely, you might just learn that they not only don’t grow straight down, but they can take a few sudden turns. In addition to that, they also are not necessarily the same on both sides of your face. There’s a guy in Britain that goes by Larry the Barber, who even has templates of blank faces you can download if you want to make a map for very careful planning. Check him out on either YouTube or search for his web site.For Those Who Want to Live in a World without Hate:Gillette hates men, but Gillette hates women too! Many people have taken pictures showing how women pay more for their razor blades. So Gillette hates 100% of the entire world population. They probably hate dogs too. Sad, just sad.

Game changer!
This product really works! I was almost to the point of despair with shaving without getting razor burn irritated skin. I changed a few things in my shaving regimen. But this product really made a difference. I apply it before and during shaving. You can feel it protecting your skin! The razor glides over your skin. A little bit goes a long ways.

Smells good, excited to use, but came broken
The lid of the jar was broken inside the box. The white box the jar comes in was soft and moist from the product leaking inside. I would have hoped if it was this fragile, that the jar would have been boxed or wrapped properly

Outstanding Product
This has changed my entire shaving regime. This is meant to be put on then shaving creme over top of it. I stopped using the shaving creme and just use this creme. It is just outstanding on keeping your face lubricated so the razor can do its job without cutting up your face. I also use this when I shave in a certain other area as well. I can’t overstate how much thi shas made a difference when I shave! I have used their shaving creme with this and it works equally as well but don’t think it made much of a difference adding that. You need to wait a minute or two after you put it on to let it do its magic! You won’t be sorry if you try this excellent product!!

Sürekli jiletle tıraş olan biri olarak bu ürünleri vakit ve nakit kaybı olarak bulurdum ama bugün denedikten sonra fikrim değişti. Balsam kullanırken bile hafif hafif yanan yüzüm bu ürünle tıraş olduktan sonra alkollü tonikle bile yanmadı. cildi gerçekten tıraşa hazırlıyor ve iyi bir koruyucu etkisi var. Tek eksisi 100ml ürünün 350 lira olması ki onuda azar azar kullansanız bile yettiği için pek önemsemiyorum. ayrıca kokusu şahane, çok ferah.

Smells nice, and seems to reduce razor burn. Especially effective if I haven’t shaved in a few days

Da un paio di anni sono cliente affezionato alle creme Proraso pre barba. La mia preferita finora è stata quella con olio di sandalo e burro di karité. Avendo trovato un’ offerta per questa versione con avena e tè verde l’ho voluta provare. Il risultato è senza dubbio molto buono. La metto sullo stesso livello della mia preferita per quanto riguarda morbidezza e capacità di facilitare la rasatura rendendo la pelle morbida e senza tagli dopo la rasatura. Unica differenza riscontrata è la consistenza leggermente diversa, un pochino più leggera ed un profumo più persistente che comunque dopo la rasatura risulta molto attenuato. Nel complesso un ottimo prodotto
