Proraso Shaving Cream Tube, 150ml, Refreshing and Toning Shaving Cream for Men with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol, Made in Italy, Green

Luxurious shaving cream ....and you only need a small amount so it lasts a long time

Good shaving soap,nice aroma,I use several of this brands products

Good travelling kit

Returned recently to safety/DE shaving. Tried this vs Cremo and Kiehl's 'White Eagle'. Not using a shaving brush/bowl as it's too much faff. This is a nice retro product packaging, aluminum tube, all the writing is in Italian, made in Firenze (Florence). But it is very 'soapy' and dries out quite quickly on the face. Have to use more water, probably works better with a brush/bowl. Scent is good and leaves a 'tingle' on the face (menthol?). Still prefer the Cremo original brand, if you can get it for the same price (price on Amazon uk zooms around £9-£23) which is creamier and more moisturising, different but equally good scent.

Nice one love the consistency.

I’ve been using prorasso products for a long time now and this shaving cream, which has a slight eucalyptus smell, is probably the best of the bunch. It lasts for a good long time and a small amount goes a long way. It’s made in Italy and is quite luxurious. I’m happy to recommend it.

Great shave

I've just started to shave using a traditional styled double edge safety razor Edwin Jagger De89bl Chrome Plated Double Edge Safety Razor. After researching for many hours the endless creams and soaps available i decided to go for a cream a) because creams are supposedly easier to lather b) i live in a hard water area c) i wanted to start off easy. I chose this one as it seemed to be highly recommended.Well this cream from Proraso is fantastic in many ways... firstly the metal squeezy tube comes in a box and the 150ml tube is bigger than you imagine it to be, the lid is a screw top so for travel purposes it's not going to come off easily. The cream is "pearl white" in colour and at first has a thick concentrated form, meaning you don't need much (almond size) as when you whip it up in a bowl there is more than enough for 3 shaving passes. Now this cream has eucalyptus and menthol which you can smell once you start whipping it up although it's not overpowering, indeed it smells nice and refreshing, almost like an old school barbers. I won't give directions as to how to use this cream but if you go on Youtube you can find many good videos especially from "geofatboy". The only thing i will add is if you live in a hard water area like me you will probably need slightly more cream and use warm not hot water.When you place it on your face ideally using a badger shaving brush (the one i bought is the For Him by Tweezerman Deluxe Shaving Brush) you can feel the cooling effect of the menthol on your skin and the pleasant smell of eucalyptus. This last for the whole time the cream is on your face, indeed the cooling effect becomes stronger on your second and third pass. It acts as a good moisturizer and gives a nice slick shave due to this cream having Glycerin in it.PROS: provides a nice luxury lather, smells great, cools your face, very slick, squeezy tube is convenient and ideal for travel, will last a long time, Paraben free!CONS: as i live in a hard water area it takes me a good minute or two longer to get the desired effect but it's nothing to worry about.VERDICT: This is the first proper shaving cream i have used and i'm impressed, it reduced the irritation i use to get during shaving and the nice cooling effect of the menthol was great. Even though the water in my area is hard i was able to generate a decent lather to get three passes out of a small amount, it just took a little longer to whip up. I intend to try other shaving creams but until i do i will enjoy using this cream.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! ...any questions please post a comment and i'll get back to you a.s.a.p!
