Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream for Men

If you've tried other formulations of Proraso (namely the tube formulations), you know it's going to be a great shave. This sensitive skin version is no exception, it delivers a slick, cushiony lather, whether you face or bowl (scuttle, mug, or what have you) and brush lather. Like the other versions, the lather retains moisture very well, so no drying out on your face or in your bowl. If you're finding that irritation is a problem, and you're bouncing from blade manufacturer to blade manufacturer, try this formula. I know some folks have a sensitivity to nickel, or sometimes the hyper-scientific marketing termed blade coatings; this problem is no joke. This formula, with green tea and oatmeal may be just the ticket. Want to try it? Preparation is key for this experiment, so let your face or scalp rest for a few days, to heal and rest; just deal with the stubble, and let the haters hate. Mount up your trusted, tried-and-true blade of choice, and lather up with the sensitive skin magical brew, and have yourself a shave. Be mindful of your technique, because you'll be more aware of how this formula provides such a solid and pleasant cushion and glide for your razor. Done shaving? Great now hold up...Don't use your usual post-shave routine. Got an alum block? If not, get one. I suggest the Proraso block, it's made in ITALY, not CHINA...so you can have a bit more confidence that the block is alum, not some mystery composition. After applying the alum, wait a full minute, and rinse with COLD water, then PAT, not wipe or rub your face dry. Give yourself at least thirty seconds, and apply the sensitive skin post-shave balm, you don't want to use something with alcohol in it, which may dry out your freshly shaved face or scalp. Next? Reap the benefits of a great shave, without the usual irritation. As always, YMMV with any and all shaving related products. Just a personal note about the fragrance. This formula has what I'd describe as a citrus-like scent. I find it clean, and refreshing. But, you know how it goes, others categorize it as awful. I would say that it is nowhere near as polarizing as the scent of ARKO (urinal cake, anyone?). If you like some of the grapefruit smelling citrus based shaving soaps, creams, and aftershave stuff out there, this will not disappoint.

I can't say enough about how much I love Proraso shave products. They are non-comedogenic meaning their products won't clog your pores. I have used almost all of the different Proraso shave soaps in bowls and their creams. Currently I am using the Proraso sensitive skin shave bowl along with their sensitive skin preshave cream. It adds a layer of protection/slickness for the skin before applying the shave cream. Their line is sensitive skin products come in the easily recognizable white packaging. All of the different scents of Proraso's shave products are wonderful. This has an almost floral, honeysuckle scent. I think honeysuckle is probably the best description for the sensitive skin line of shave originate products. It's very subdued though, a subtle scent, not overwhelming. This is not designed to be applied by hand. You could apply by hand but you will never build foam that way. Nor will to be able to elevate your whiskers. This requires a shave brush. However I would not purchase Proraso's shave brushes. They use boar hair bristles. You want to find a badger hair shave brush. The bristles are softer and develop an even nicer texture over time. I have had the same one for years. You can find many affordable options on Amazon. I bought my badger hair shave brush on Amazon. I bought the Rocky Mountain Barber Pure 100% Best Badger Hair Barber Grade with a stand almost 7 years ago. In fact, it will be exactly 7 years ago in six days. Grab it! I looked, it's still available on Amazon for a measly $23.99! For badger hair, that's a steal. 🚨HOW TO APPLY 🚨 Now, why you need a brush. This isn't Gillette Foamy, for two reasons, after using Gillette Foamy your face will hate you for awhile. It probably won't even be on speaking terms with you until you upgrade from Grandpa's shave cream to this. Secondly, you don't squeeze this into your hand and use fingers to apply it. This is similar to using a bowl but maybe easier. 1. Wet your brush with hot water. 2. Shake a small amount of the water out but not too much. If you brush is dripping with water and you apply the cream to your face, properly, which I will explain how, you'll see why. Let's say that you will probably have to clean the mirror and the whole sink area. You will get a feel for how much water you need on the brush. I have had a few cleanups as a beginner. 3. Put an inch, maybe an inch and a half of shave cream on the brush. 4. To create foam like Gillette Foamy and make Grandpa jealous, take the brush and keep going around your face on quick circular motions. As you do that multiple times around your face the cream will start to build into that beautiful Cool Whip™️ foam that pillows on your face. I would suggest getting Proraso's Preshave Cream to accompany this, or any shave cream you use. Their products are PREMIUM, they are all still made on Italy, but they are sold at a ridiculously affordable price. Their shave creams and soaps and preshave creams last a long time also.

Loved the new shaving cream and it feels clean and non grimy. So glad we found a new shaving cream. Worth the price and shave is smooth.

I'm relatively new to the world of using a safety razor, having recently changed over from using disposable razors. Until now I've been using Stirling soaps because I like the scents and frankly it made me feel fancy to lather it up from a puck. However, I bought this to take with me on a trip as I figured it would be easier to lather it by hand than taking my bowl, brush, and soap puck. It lathered decently well using just my hands, though it took a little work to get it to a consistency where it wasn't gumming up the razor (more operator error than anything). Though even in that state, the smoothness of the shave on offer was noticeable. After arriving back home, I lathered it up properly using a bowl and brush and the difference was immediately apparent. An even more smooth shave with a much better lather. The grainy texture straight out of the tube was certainly off-putting at first, but trust the process and you'll find a high quality shaving cream. As for the smell, it was very pleasant. Overall, I'm quite pleased and Proraso may just have a repeat customer on their hands.

I really like this shaving cream. It gives a smooth shave, lathers up well, and feels gentle on my skin. No heavy scent, no irritation, and a little goes a long way. Great product and definitely worth keeping in the rotation.

I am a 37 year old man that has been shaving since I was 16. I have coarse wiry facial hair and super sensitive skin. Recently I started to wet shave with a DE and shavette. I also started sporting a shaved head because I was tired of looking at my receding hairline that gets a little bit worse every year. I have sported a full beard off and on since 2006. I still have to shave my neck and clean up my cheeks and eye brow area along with trimming my nether regions. I have used a plethora of different disposable razors and shave gels. My go to before discovering shaving cream and soaps was usually Gillette Sensitive Shave Gel. Occasionally I would use cheap body wash to shave or just dry shave with the disposables. Needless to say I got used to having razor burn and bumps that would usually go away in a day or two until I shaved again. I just learned to live with it and thought that it wasn't possible for me to not have bumps and ingrown hairs. I started using a shavette and a Handlebar Shaving Company Oculus Matte Black Stainless Steel Safety Razor about 4 months ago. The latter is a super aggressive short handled DE. I picked up a Merkur 37c Slant Bar Safety Razor last week. The past couple of months I have also been experimenting with various shave soaps and shaving creams. I started using this shaving cream last week. This cream has been a game changer. I have zero razor burn, and zero bumps and ingrown hairs. It's nothing short of a miracle. This cream allows for many mistakes with all 3 of my razors. I have fallen in love with it. The cream creates a thick and creamy lather; and mighty easy to whip up I may add. If you have sensitive skin and/or coarse facial hair I can highly recommend this cream. I will add that the scent may take some getting used to. It is hard to describe except for saying that it has a peculiar, but pleasing natural smell. I am going to try the soap next, but I can't imagine it being better than the cream. Easily 5 stars and I don't give those out that often.

nice , smells good

I am well aware of the hype and abundance of positive reviews for Proraso Shaving Cream. Unfortunately, my experience is that it does not work as well as the shaving soaps that I use. Although the cream lathers up rather well, it seems to lack the structure and low friction coefficient that I have found in the solid soap shaving products. If you are seeking a slick shaving cream that you can take with you in a tube, give Cremo a try. It doesn't lather up like Proraso, but it is much slicker. I have found several shaving soaps that are around 3.5 oz, and thus can be transported through TSA checkpoints. I use them with a collapsable shaving bowl (sold on Amazon). Unfortunately, my double-edge razor won't clear security, so I need to travel with a cartridge razor.

Comme mis sur les autres produit de la gamme blanche que je utilise toutes j adore l odeur et ça fait le job, je test d autres marques mais PRORASO blanc reste dans la routine et j en reprendrai des que le tube sera vide

Wakes you up nicely, fresh

The product is excellent, but it arrived in poor condition.

Really impressed. A well-used blade just whizzed over smoothly and just shaved really close. Love the smell. It did leave my skin a bit dry though.
