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

This is a shaving cream, not a foam – and it’s brilliant. Just a small amount, rubbed in with fingers, gives a slick, menthol-laced shave with zero drag or irritation. It’s now my go-to with the Gillette Labs razor, and it leaves my skin cool and soft afterwards. The scent is classic barbershop – clean, fresh, old-school – and the metal tube is a nice touch. Easier to squeeze out every last bit and recyclable, too. Heads-up: It doesn’t lather. That’s not a flaw – it’s meant to stay creamy for closer, smoother contact. Pro tip: You’ll use less than you think, and it’ll last. Ideal if you want a quick shave with no faffing around.

Easily the best shaving cream I have found with its signature scent. Typical of the Italians to come up with the best!

Amazing performer and by far the best value for money cream and I've tried a few. Ridiculously easy to lather up and provides a thick, slick cushion (not as slick as poly soap but for a cream quite slick). It feels quite refreshing throughout the whole shave. I don't particularly like the scent but I don't hate it either and I guess the mint/eucalyptus combo helps get the refreshing feeling on your face aside from the scent. The pharmacy-like scent wears out after 5-10 minutes and leaves the lightest hint of mint, so by the time you are ready for work you're good to go without eradicating unsuspecting civilians on their way to work. On the first use I got by far the closest shave i've gotten with a cream without going against the grain. The freshness feeling also lasts a couple of hours, which helps you wake up if you're an early bird. Overall? Massive legacy, max performance, cheap, quick&easy, unsurpassed freshness. Doesn't feel luxurious and is solely focused on performance, which is precisely why it is by far the best everyday performer for many people who want a quick morning shave. There is no excuse for not getting one if you're after performance.

A very traditional shaving cream. The cream whips up very well with a bowl or face lather with both badger and synthetic brushes. Personally I prefer the scent of the Red Prorasso, but the 'green' is very good at providing a cool, refreshing shave.

Refreshing and relaxing

I thought this product was quite expensive for what it was, and the amount in the jar, but that all changed when i used it for the first time. It makes the shave a bit slicker when used before you put your shave cream/ soap on your face, but it really comes into its own as a post shave balm. I suffer razor burn not matter how careful i shave, and have tried countless after shave balms with limited success. When i applied this to my face after my shave, there was a weird sort of tingling feeling, which was very good, and you could tell it was doing something good to your skin. After a few minutes, this sensation stopped, i checked my face in the mirror, and to my surprise there was no redness on my face or neck, no post shave irritation, and my skin felt great. I have sensitive and dry skin, but this cream is definitely the best i have tried, and well worth every penny. I also have to say you only need a very small amount, and with this in mind, is probably cheaper in the long run than a cheaper balm. This will last for months using every day. When you massage it in your face as a post shave balm, it will take about a minute to soak in, but worth it with the results you get. Worth a buy, and if it works as goog for you as it has for me, you wont regret buying it.

Leaves a nice clean shave and smells good.

I fancied a change and thought I would treat myself, but this is a very traditional product which I have found to be less comfortable than the modern gels and I won’t buy it again. Sorry, but that’s how it was for me.
