Natural oils found in creams and soaps are, but not mineral oils.

Scent: A very mild citrus / powder is found here, with a slightly sweet note that perhaps suggests the apple notes that the Proraso marketing folks are speaking about. Despite the marketing verbiage, there is not a very prominent lime note present – a lot more moderate and less sharp citrus seems to be at work, maybe a mild bergamot scent. Some feel this is a medicinal composition, but I find it crisp, subtle and refreshing – a great Spring or Summer scent. This is the least powerful scent in the Proraso line, but is certainly pleasant enough and is also reasonably distinctive.

There are 4 lubrication of the skin options for wet shavers, when it comes to applying some type of cream and protection to the face before shaving. These are: But if you are a cream fan, or perhaps simply wish to forego the expense and added time to use a brush, Proraso’s line is an affordable and generally admirable roster offering some diversity in both performance and scents. I actually think YMMV can never be overused, because it is what it is—our individual experience on our unique combination of skin factors (many variables here), beard toughness and length, water factors, techniques, etc.

About the remaining article, well, probably is biased due the different price costs in US and here in EU/IT. If using your hands, work cream and water together between the palm of your hands until suds begin to form. Apply mixture into your stubble using your fingers, massaging in circular movements until a lather forms. This method also works well if you’re shaving in the shower. Shave and rinse, following with your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion. ” In my case, I began wet shaving in 2014. The market for shave software has changed an awful lot since then, and so has Proraso. The purpose of this article is to compare Proraso products to the newer crop of shaving soaps and creams, and also to compare the families of color based Proraso products to each other. Green is a great intro to wet shaving for the guy with average skin and little need for post shave maintenance. It’s also the cheapest possible menthol fix for those looking for icy faced shaving, though think of it more as a gateway than as a final destination. We have a rather synthetic sweet anise and amber accord here, smelling like a sort of licorice cologne. The scent is very artificial, and even those who love, say, Cool Water will find this of little interest. The fragrance design is cloying, simple, and dull. The scent is certainly different from Green, and is arguably more modern, but it certainly is not very pleasant. Strength does not fade during the shave but does not linger much after the shave is done, which is just as well. This is not at all spicy, but rather sweet and only mildly musky.

The secret – that is not a secret- is to start loading (and preferably a lot) with a well shaken, almost dry brush. Then adding water gradually. As every soap. I use the same procedure to lather all soaps, and don’t customize for any specific soap. My pretty ordinary method gives me fine lather for 90% of the products I try, so I tend to view it as being a fair standard to evaluate products. I don’t mean to say that it’s impossible to get a good shave with PR soaps. With effort and ingenuity, one can get a good shave from any product sold for the purpose, and the PR soaps are better than many mainstream brands. Our preferred selection would be a soap, then the cream, then a gel and never the foam. Despite what we think, many UK buyers will buy these cans of foam.

Scent: Imagine your grandpa is a member of an old school jazz quartet that plays at local weddings. Now imagine you ask your grandpa and his band to play a Swedish death metal tune. This is kind of like what’s happening with Proraso Blue. Scent: This is a great example of how wet shavers can profit by economies of scale. As many know, sandalwood from India is extremely scarce and protected, and hence quite expensive. Most shaving products that claim use of “sandalwood” are using synthetic simulations of the substance. Sandalwood is pretty easy to duplicate, so as long as the maker is not using dirt cheap fragrance oils, even artificial sandalwood can smell nice. However, the real deal is quite rare and costly, and even then, usually comes from other places than India. The real problem with Proraso cream is the combo of mediocre cushion and little to no post shave protection. If you end up with a sore face after using Proraso Green, that sore face will be with you for a few hours unless you add some post shave balm or splash to your visage. They don't do that good a job at protecting the skin, and they are also full of chemicals which are not good for your skin. People buy these to squirt some foam on to their face for a quiet shave. Using eucalyptus oil to soften your bristles and hydrate your skin, Proraso Beard Balm Wood and Spice leaves your beard feeling soft and itch free. Plus the Wood and Spice scent is a firm favourite.
