Proraso Protective Shaving Cream

Best of the Proraso creams!! Fragrance is mild, pleasant and doesn’t linger. Nice mild menthol kick. Slick and protective. Excellent value!!

This is perfect for the guy wanting to step up a little bit from his Barbasol/Edge, Walgreens/CVS, grocery store shaving foam haul... Great performance, smooth finish and the protective layer after the shave is there. Recommend this cream! One caveat, for the performance you expect from this slightly higher price point, pair it with a quality double-edged safety razor or a foldable straight edge... using a disposable with this is akin to hooking your blue-ray player (Proraso shave cream) to a vintage Magnavox CRT television set (cheap plastic disposable 5 blade razor). With a disposable razor, you will not realize the value and performance of this cream and are better served using the aforementioned shave foam.

I went back to wet shaving (from a Braun electric razor) early this year. After 30 years of shaving almost every day with the electric, I retired and now only shave 2-3 times a week. Electric just didn't work for that. After a few months with seveal different multiblade razors, I wasn't satisfied. In July, a started using a DE razor. For reference I use a Viking with the slightly longer handle. After a few weeks of shaving, getting my technique down and testing several popular blades, I have settled on, and regularly use Feather blades. I have used the standard Proraso tube, as well as this one, Cremo, and Taylor of Old Bond Steet St. James collection in a tub. I have come to prefer the Taylor. I still give this 5 stars overall. If there were 1/2 stars, I might take 1/2 off, but only COMPARATIVELY to the Taylor (maybe fairer to say Taylor would get a 5+). This creme has a very nice fresh smell and is supposed to be easier on the skin. I am not sure I see any difference from the regular Proraso Cream. It lathers well with a brush and lubricates reasonbly well. But the lather doesn't last well. I find that by the time I finish one side of my face the remaining lather nas thinned out and dried some and I have to constantly re-lather. But that is not a huge deal. The TOB lather lasts much longer, and lubricates better in my opinion. For tube cream users I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. I really like the Proraso products and use their aftershave and a couple of their colognes regularly now.

Overall a good product, but I think there might be quality control issues. I've ordered this twice. The first tube was great. The lather is decent and the scent is okay. The cream in the second tube seemed like it was old. There appeared to be some separation with parts of the cream being more liquid. The shave was less consistent than with the first tube. Still, I managed to get through most of the tube fine.

Game changer. All razor types glide super smoothly. So much better than grocery store spray shaving cream. Leaves skin feeling better as well.

I've only used Proraso shave cream for the past few years and as long as I can continue to get it on Amazon, I'll keep using it. I usually use the red version (coarse hair) but there was no stock when it was time to reorder. Decided on this one because I didn't ever care much for the green or white version and I've been impressed with this version. Smooth shaves, smell is great, and it doesn't seem to have the quality control issues of the red version.

Very good product. Makes for a smooth shave. Easy to apply and rinse. The razor glides right through with no drag at all. I get a very close shave with this.

I ordered this in error, must have had a brain blip as I wanted the 'regular" menthol (green) cream. I was disappointed that the scent was so mild, but the shave results were what I usually expect from Proraso, excellent. I use Proraso with a Panasonic electric wet razor. The combination of using the electric (when wet) with the Proraso cream produces an incredible amount of lather. The key is to keep the cream moist and by rinsing the electric frequently ` the lather whips up beautifully. At times there is more lather on my face after the shave than when I began - that's how voluminous this product can be. I agree with another poster who said the shave doesn't feel as invigorating as the menthol, but then again, the formula is not designed for that. My skin was nice and smooth and this formula did a good job. So, if you want a soothing shave result without a noticeable scent (as compared to the menthol) this is the product to get. Vito

I have been using Proraso shave cream for a number of years now and I have to say this is the nicest smelling one out of them all. The cream itself is fantastic and you get a really close and smooth shave every time even with a cheaper razor. I would highly recommend this shave cream.

Crema muy buena. Con un olor clásico sin más pero suficiente para el día a día. Seguro que hay más sofisticada pero si la consigues a un buen precio te la recomiendo

Very smooth shave

Das ist nun meine vierte Creme und meine Sammlung von Proraso ist komplett. Wie immer guter Schaum, sehr ergiebig und als Schüler auch erschwinglich. Der Geruch ist sehr dezent und riecht nach Aloe Vera, mit leichten süßen Hintergrund, aber in meiner Nase nicht muffelig und sehr schwach. Es gibt keinen kühlenden Effekt, aber ein sehr angenehmes Hautgefühl.

Elle monte bien à condition de mettre la bonne quantité d'eau (comme avec tous les savons/crèmes!), je n'ai pas eu de problème de séchage, mais je me rase au rasoir de sûreté, et cela prend donc moins de temps qu'au coupe-chou. Étant visiblement allergique à un constituant des produits Proraso verts (probablement l'eucalyptus), je me suis tourné vers cette crème avec une petite appréhension tout de même. Mais j'ai bien fait : elle est vraiment confortable ! Bon, c'est de la crème (c'est-à-dire du savon pré-moussé), donc le tube se vide plus vite qu'un pot de savon à prix égal, c'est normal. Ceci étant, elle est bon marché et fait parfaitement son travail : pas de quoi s'en plaindre, il faut le savoir, c'est tout ! N'en ayant pas encore vidé un, je ne saurais pas dire combien de temps il me fera, mais on doit trouver l'information assez facilement sur internet. L'odeur est assez discrète, elle me plaît, mais c'est quelque chose de très personnel, à chacun ses préférences. Je trouve l'odeur plus légère que les "séries" verte (menthol / eucalyptus) et rouge (bois de santal / beurre de karité), je n'ai pas (encore) essayé les produits blancs. Elle protège très bien, je n'ai ni irritations ni peau qui tire : bref, je la recommande, et j'en rachèterai !
