Proraso Pre Shave Cream, 100ml, Refreshing and Toning Pre Shaving Cream with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol, Made in Italy, Green

I needed new shaving soap and looked at Proraso. I saw that customers also used pre shaving cream, something I had never done before. I was initially drawn to the beautiful packaging as I love Italian design. I also like brands that have been around for a while; Proraso, as I have learned is well established and much loved by barbers around the world with a long history. The overwhelming positive reviews also made me take a punt and click purchase. So is it any good? Yes! The first time I opened the pot I was won over. The smell is divine; clean but not medicinal, fresh and distinctive. I use this as a pre shave cream. I was getting razor burn before and needed something that would soften the bristles. This does that beautifully. It also wakes your face up - not in a burning way, just a lovely invigorating sensation. I apply it ten minutes before I shave and that is enough. Razor burn has become a thing of the past and my face feels alive and refreshed. You don't need to apply much, I think even this 100ml pot will last a couple of months even with a daily shave. If you usually just lather up, I would recommend this as a good way to prepare your face for shaving. A real treat!

Having recently returned to double edge razor shaving I was looking for shaving products to compliment the joy of DE shaving. I’ve tried numerous products over the years including from London based barbers but I have to say since I’ve been using the Proraso range I’m hooked. I’m currently using Proraso pre shave cream, followed by shaving soap and completed by aftershave balm. All the products effuse quality and style (as perhaps Italians do so well). A smooth shave with no nicks or cuts (as DE razors have a tendency to do), the razor glides smoothly over the skin and the balm provides instant cooling and hydration. The pre shave cream has a strong(ish) menthol smell which does make the eyes water a little but combined with the shaving soap brushed on with a quality badger hair brush the skin is left very well prepared for a close shave. The joys of DE razor shaving combined with the Proraso range makes the whole experience enjoyable and for anyone looking for quality shaving products that don’t break the bank and leave you feeling clean and fresh post shave then don’t look any further than the Proraso range- definitely recommended. This is an honest review and I have purchased all the products myself.

Having never used a pre shave oil or cream, I'd recently tried and admired the Proraso white purely for its scent. I was then curious to try the green flavour with its eucalyptus and menthol blend. Whilst an odd combination I was intrigued. Open the jar and a lovely clean, fresh and warming menthol scent grabs you. It's also possible for the eyes to join in as they begin to detect the menthol in the air. Applied to skin that has been dampened ready for shaving, a little cream goes a long way. After a short time the lovely aroma begins to almost clear the nasal passages and skin begins to feel fresh, cool and tingly. Post shave - and like the Proraso white - a close shave is the end result, whilst also enjoying a lovely, subtle fragrance. With the soaps used, my skin feels soft and hydrated with no need for balm. And whilst Proraso's aftershave lotion is optional, I always love to apply that too! Although this cream is a pre shave product, others use post shave too. Don't. Whilst the ingredients are no doubt good for skin, applying post-shave ruins the clean skin experience and leaves the face feeling somewhat clammy. Instead use Proraso's aftershave lotion.

I like this one best as it's quite refreshing. The others are dull in comparison and I won't use them. Note: DO NOT buy from 'All Access Store'. You will receive the wrong item - charge you for the green and send you the cheaper white. Meanwhile Amazon will expect you to fix their mess by taking time out of your day to return it, if you want a refund. Looking at their feedback, I wasn't the only person that was duped.

Good product

I’ve been really impressed with Proraso Pre-Shave Cream. The first thing you notice when opening the jar is the scent. The eucalyptus and menthol combination is incredibly fresh and clean without being overpowering. It has that classic barbershop feel – invigorating and cooling, which really helps wake up your skin before shaving. The cream itself is very easy to apply. A small amount goes a long way, and it spreads smoothly across damp skin. The texture is soft and slightly thick, which makes it simple to massage into the beard area. Once applied, it forms a light protective layer that softens the hair and prepares the skin really well for the razor. I also really like the packaging design. The green jar has a timeless, traditional look and feels sturdy and well made. The wide opening makes it easy to scoop out just the right amount of product, and the screw lid seals securely so it’s great for everyday use. In terms of performance, the coverage is excellent. It spreads evenly across the skin and provides a noticeable smoothness before shaving. The cooling menthol sensation feels refreshing and helps reduce irritation, leaving the skin feeling clean and toned afterwards. Overall, this is a fantastic pre-shave cream with a wonderful scent, easy application, and classic Italian design. It’s a great addition to any shaving routine.

A fantastic perfect to use and best ever shave used with Wilkinson 5 blade razor

وضعه قبل الحلاقة يجعل الحلاقة سلسة و ناعمة و يقلل إمكانية وجود جروح في البشرة

Une bonne crème d'avant rasage, efficace et pas trop cher.

Niet twijfelen en meteen 2 kopen. Voor het scheren even insmeren, intrekken en inzepen. Je zult het verschil voelen. Ik gebruik het sinds kort ook direct na het scheren, voor de aftershave. Je gezicht voelt aan als de noordpool. ijskoud, maar wel lekker.

Super!

I can see why some get addicted to this product. This pre-shave packs a hefty hit of menthol that makes the eyes water and clears the sinus. It really helps with raising stubble and adds even more comfort to the shave. I'm smitten with it at first use (it was delivered a couple of hours ago) If you like menthol in your shaving routine, get some of this, it's heaven. I paired it with the Proraso Eucalyptus and menthol shave cream and the equivalent aftershave, I'm one very happy convert to this new addition to my routine.
