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.

Best of the premium shaving creams I have tried
Best of the premium shaving creams I have tried.I have tried the following brands of Shaving Cream in the following order:Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender Shaving Cream BowlTaylor of Old Bond Street Lemon + Lime Shaving CreamPaula’s Choice PC4Men ShaveProraso Shaving Cream, SandalwoodMusgo Real Shave CreamProraso Shaving Cream, Aloe and Vitamin EFirst, a little about me and how I shave, so you have some perspective when reading my review…I am a bald man and shave my face as well as head. I am fair skinned and would say that my beard is medium-coarse and my skin is semi-sensitive. I prefer using a Gillete Fusion cartridge blade, although I have tried many other types. I shave in a hot shower and apply shave cream to my face using a Vulfix “Super Badger” hair brush, and apply it to the brush with my hand. I don’t use a bowl, due to being in the shower, and since my hand works just fine to mix/apply the cream to my brush.In a shave cream product, I look for a product that creates good lather, reduces friction and irritation, has a comfortable shave, is moisturizing, doesn’t make me break out, and either unscented or a pleasant smell.My first foray into premium shave creams started with the brand, Taylor of Old Bond Street. I really liked their lavender shave cream bowl. I happily used it for a couple of years. It has a nice smell and a thick lather which lasts on the brush for as many as 5 passes on my head and face with only re-applying to the brush once. It was a very comfortable shave and left my face and head soft, smooth, and moisturized. The smell was a little strong, but I love the smell of lavender and enjoyed it despite the strength of the fragrance. I never had any problems with breakouts or irritation, and always had a good shave. I also tried the lemon-lime scent, but didn’t find it as pleasing as the lavender variety, although the shave quality was the same as the lavender scented cream. The lemon-lime scent is not nearly as strong as the lavender, and I would recommend these two Taylor products to anyone; they’re awesome.The problem with the Taylor stuff for me was that, in the shower, I would have to unscrew the top of the bowl container, set it aside, then use my fingers to collect some cream, and then replace the cap. A few times I ended up spilling some or getting water in the bowl, thereby wasting product. By the end of the usable life of the bowl of shave cream, I had a watered down cream. So, I decided to look for shave cream in a tube form, for easier use in the shower. I’m not sure why I never tried the tubes that Taylor sells. Perhaps it was the cost, or maybe they weren’t available at the time. I can’t remember.First, I tried the brand, “Paulas Choice”, since my wife and I use her skin products like sun screen, exfoliants, anti-oxidant creams, moisturizers, cleansers, etc. She makes great stuff and it is much more affordable than other premium brands. I highly recommend her stuff. Where her stuff is lacking, though, is in men’s shave products. I tried her “PC4MEN Shave” gel and found it to be extremely thin, no lather, and not as pleasing to shave with. Admittedly, it is not meant to be a lathering cream, and is an entirely different type of product, which some people may actually prefer. The shave was not as comfortable or pleasing as any of the creams I’ve used, but did seem to provide decent lubrication. I had to apply it several times during a shave and use a lot of semi-expensive product. I just didn’t like it. If Paula ever comes out with an actual shave cream, I will rush to try it, because of the extremely high quality of everything else she sells.Next, I ordered myself a tube each of the Musgo Real and the Proraso Snadalwood creams from Amazon.I decided to try the Proraso first. It had a nice, very light smell. It lathered up thick and creamy, and felt great going on my skin with my Vulfix badger brush that I’ve used for years. I had a slightly better shave than the Taylor stuff I used to use, with less irritation; I wasecstatic. I was getting a better shave, without the hassle of the bowl packaging. It was also easier to pack and travel with than the bowl. Admittedly, I miss the Taylor’s lavender smell a little. I’m not super-crazy about the sandalwood smell, but it is pleasant and very light. My skin feels smooth, moisturized, and without irritation when shaving with the Proraso Sandalwood. It is my favorite shave cream product I’ve tried.Next I tried the Musgo Real. I really liked it. The smell was different than the Proraso Sandalwood, and I preferred it over the Proraso. The Musgo Real has a thicker feel. It probably has less water in it than the Proraso stuff. It also has, what seems to be, fibrous strands of something mixed in. It feels really nice! When applying it with my brush, it felt super thick and hearty. It required a little more work to generate the same lather as the Proraso, and Oh!, what torture it is needing to massage my face more with my badger hair brush! Just kidding, of course. More time with the brush is actually a pleasure, except if you’re in a big hurry. I got an excellent shave with the Musgo Real and really liked it. Very little irritation, and it is right up there with the Proraso Sandalwood for comfort and a very pleasant shave. It takes a very close second place to the Proraso Sandalwood, mainly because of my preference for Proraso’s easier lathering. I feel like the Musgo Real did last a little longer on the brush for more applications, but only very slightly longer.Next, I was running out of my supply, so I decided to order some more Proraso. I decided that since I wasn’t in love with the Sandalwood scent, I would try Proraso’s Viramin E and Aloe formula. On my first shave with it, I didn’t like it very much. The scent reminded me of Johnson and Johnson’s body powder. Not horrible, but not my preference. It’s a very light scent and not over powering, just like the sandalwood, but, regardless, the scent was more bothersome to me than pleasant. It went on a little thinner than the Proraso Sandalwood, and I needed to use significantly more to get a decent lather. Even when applying a good amount, the lather was not as rich as with the Proraso Sandalwood’s or Musgo Real’s. The Proraso Vitamin E and Aloe also has a slight bit of menthol in it, which I absolutely hate. It is barely noticeable until the end of a long shave, after you’ve had it on your skin for a while. Then comes that menthol tingle that I absolutely despise. I ended up going through the tube as fast as I could, just to use it up.I then ordered another tube of Proraso Sandalwood and am going to stick with it. I am very happy with it and do not plan to switch any time soon. I hope this helps those of you deciding on what shave product to try next. Since you know so much about how I like to shave, feel free to recommend a new product to me that you like, or comment on my review.

These are a few of my favorite creams…
After a year of using Proraso Red exclusively, I have tried almost 20 high end soaps/croaps/creams in the last couple of months. Proraso remains in the top tier for me. I can face lather, bowl lather, or even hand lather it without a brush, and get fantastic results every time. The scent is incredible and I could use it every day. Some artisan soaps have amazing scents and performance, but fail the daily test for me, and none are in the proraso price range.Pairs well with its matching splash, or glass-stored Skin Bracer.

Oh, the LATHER!!! Get a close shave leaving your skin SMOOTH! Simply Unbeatable!
I honestly haven’t found ANYTHING that lathers as nicely and smoothly as Proraso! I originally ordered it with my straight razor and have been using it for years. Nothing can touch the silky smoothness of the lather this creates. I’ve tried soaps, creams, foams, etc.Side note: Get yourself a badger hair shaving brush to apply this shaving cream. You can find them as cheap as $1, but you’d probably get a genuine one for $15? or more. I’ve had mine for 20 yrs, so they are an investment like the straight razor. A badger hair brush absorbs the water and allows for a beautiful lather to form. When you apply the foam to your skin, it further lathers, spreads the shave cream, and exfoliates your skin. Shave soaps seem to lather, but surprisingly they don’t lubricate, nor does the lather last any significant time. By the tine you later your face and pick up your razor, the lather from the shave soaps is gone! Proraso lathers into a smooth, longer lasting, lubricating foam.Proraso Shaving Cream makes a very nice lubricated surface for your razer whether it’s a straight razor or multi-blade. Warm your skin to open your pours, stretch your skin out (you can use a wash cloth to “grip” your skin), and shave. You’ll get an incredible shave without nicking, razor burn, or bumps! It washes away nicely leaving your skin feeling smooth and clean. The Sandalwood & Shea Butter is very nice on your beard. It’s also available in: “Eucalyptus oil & Menthol” – which has a very nice smell as well. You won’t believe how close of a shave you can get! And you’ll NEVER use that goopy foam-in-a-can again!!!Give this stuff a try – you won’t regret it!

This Proraso shaving cream is fantastic—rich, nourishing, and a little goes a long way. I’ve been using the same tube for over two years, and it’s still going strong. The sandalwood scent is classic, and the lather is smooth and protective. Great quality at an unbeatable price!

Avendo usato la schiuma da barba della stessa linea “Rossa” della Proraso, ho voluto provare questa crema da barba. Ovviamente per l’uso necessita di essere montata in ciotola, o direttamente in viso, mediante pennello. Basta una piccola porzione, pennello bagnato, al bisogno qualche goccia d’acqua e si monta facilmente. Il risultato è da effetto “panna”. L’odore è abbastanza neutro ed effettivamente ammorbidisce la barba dura agevolando la successiva rasatura. Eccellente il rapporto qualità/prezzo, non ha nulla da invidiare a prodotti ben più costosi. Assolutamente da provare per verificare se è il prodotto adatto per il vostro tipo di barba
