The Proraso Brand Story
Founded in 1908 by Ludovico Martelli, Proraso has been innovating professional highest-quality products in the shaving world for generations, and has evolved to become a staple of Italian culture. From the first Pre-Shave cream in 1948, to now, the Martelli family principles hold true: to create professional, quality products that deliver a pleasurable and impeccable shave, in the barbershop and at home.
Proraso Pre-Shave Cream, Refreshing and Toning
The product that started it all. The first product in the Proraso range. The one that made us so popular amongst Italian men and Barbers. Developed for any beard on any man, Proraso’s Pre-Shave Cream formula has a particularly rich, concentrated, non-greasy texture that softens stubble and improves the skin’s elasticity for a problem-free, perfect shave.
The cooling ingredients leave your face feeling toned and invigorated. Eucalyptus oil tones and purifies your skin and facial hair, while menthol helps refresh and revitalize.
How to use:
Wet your face with warm water or a damp, hot towel and apply a dollop (about a pea-size) of Pre-Shave Cream to your face. Massage with circular motions and do not rinse. Shave normally with Proraso Shaving Cream or Soap.
Barber’s choice since 1948 Dermatologist tested No parabens, no silicones No mineral oil, no SLS No artificial colors No ingredients of animal origin Over 95% natural Made in Italy
10 Tips for the Perfect Shave
Morning is the best time to shave
Your skin is at its softest and most relaxed just after you wake up, so the razor glides easier.
Always use a Proraso Pre-Shave cream
It softens and straightens the hairs, making it easier to apply the shaving cream to your beard and pre-conditions the skin.
Wrap your face in a warm, wet towel
Just like traditional barbers do. Otherwise, shave after your morning shower when the skin is soft and hydrated from the warm water.
The best lather comes from a brush and shaving cream or soap
Applying shaving cream or soap with a brush increases the volume of your beard hair and allows for a closer shave. To build up a rich lather, wet your shaving brush and apply the cream in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well.
While shaving, use a delicate, but firm stroke
Don’t put too much pressure on the razor and follow the lines of your face, always keeping the skin pulled tight.
Keep your razor clean
Rinse the blade with hot water at least once every two swipes of the razor. Residue from past shaves can reduce the blades’ effectiveness and increase the risk of damaging your skin. Also, remember to change your razor often.
For the perfect shave, one pass just doesn’t cut it
Lather your face a second time and repeat the shave.
Don’t neglect your post-shave routine
Rinse your face well and repeatedly to remove any residue.
Always use Proraso after shave balm or lotion
Even if you’ve shaved to perfection, your skin may still feel stressed and will need to be disinfected, restored and softened.
Take care of your skin
Especially if you don’t shave every day, or have problems with ingrown hair, apply a face cream daily.

If you have ever had an Italian barber, add this pre-shave cream
IAong life’s path it was my good fortune to have two Italian barbers from “the old country”. Whether for a shave/ facial or just a trim, you will recall the mentholated cream they rub on before the shave cream. Not merely pleasing to the olfactory, the shave is closer with far fewer “dings”. A tiny investment for an improvement that gets each day off to a better start.

I was skeptical
I was skeptical that this product was as good as the reviews suggested but decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW! This works great! I put some on before I shaved and then put on my regular shaving lotion and it was so smooth! Normally my safety razor glides a little rough but with this it glided easily over my face and my shave was much closer. My post shave face also feels much smoother! will buy again!

A new way to shave
I recently made the decision to leave behind this “new” way to shave with Edge gel and Mach 3’s (Fusions actually were not as good for me) partially due to the price of the blades, but a large part of me is wanting to do things the “old” way. Regarding the price of fancy blades I’m doing something that seems to be faux pas now and exercising my choice as a consumer in a “free market” and telling Gillette to “get bent.” I’m not buying their $2.00 blades anymore (Costco price). I’m trying both a double edge safety razor and a straight edge. Well, after the first shave with some shaving soap I thought would be great, it wasn’t fun. Came to the conclusion that shaving soaps may not be the way to go. I live in an arid environment; very dry here. My water is extremely hard and I don’t use a softener. And my beard is genetic from my Syrian heritage (very dense). So, ordered up some Proraso Pre-Shave Cream and some of their Shave Cream in a tube. After the first use I’ve decided that these products are what I should be using now. My only gripe about this product (4 stars, not 5) is the amount for the price. It’s a pretty small jar. However, I think you can use it sparingly and get the right effect.I apply this to my beard and spread it around evenly. About a two lightly coated fingertips seems to be enough. I then use the time it needs to soak in and soften the beard to whip up my lather, which takes about 2 minutes. The Proraso shave cream goes a long ways too, about the size of an almond is all it takes to get enough lather for a 3 pass shave if needed. The cooling sensation from the menthol is nice and makes the shave go easier for me.I did use this for some post shave as well. It helped, but not sure it’s the effect I’m going for. I think I’d like to try some other stuff as well so I just ordered another Proraso aftershave product to try out.Part of me misses the speediness that I could shave with Edge Gel and Mach 3, but I’m enjoying this new ritual of doing things the old fashioned way and saving money on blades. In my current job I need to shave more often. At the very least every other day. In my previous job I shaved whenever I wanted, which was 4 to 6 days of growth usually.I say try this product out, and the others by this company as well. I think you’ll like them. I’ll definitely be re-ordering. Definitely since the seller is fulfilling through Amazon so I can use my Prime membership to get them quick.

Amazing Shave!
I’ve been using edge foam to shave with my Dovo straight razor. I heard about this product on YouTube so I ordered some. Used the Proraso pre-shave and the Proraso shaving cream today and feel like I entered a new world of shaving. How did I miss out all these years? The eucalyptus and menthol smell so nice and feel so good on the face. The razor glides over the skin so easily and the shave is the closest I can remember. At least I have time to enjoy it in my retirement!

Es efectivo, evita la irritación y las cortadas. La sensación refrescante es buena. Cómo recomendación de otros comentarios si es buena idea usarlo en climas calurosos. La calidad me sorprendió, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

sehr erfrischende Rasurvorbehandlung. Die NaÃrasur wird deutlich sanfter und gründlicher. Verhindert wirkungsvoll Rasurbrand. Der Duft nach Eukalyptus macht die Rasurvorbereitung zum Erlebnis. Top Empfehlung.
