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 Shaving Soap in a Bowl, Moisturizing and Nourishing
How to use:
Soak your Proraso brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for a few minutes before your shave. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash face with warm water) to prep your face for shaving, then apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream. Apply another hot towel to your face for a few seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, still leaving the brush mostly wet. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well. Spread on your beard and proceed with shaving. Close the lid after use to keep the soap from drying out (though, even if it does dry out, it will not lose its efficacy or beneficial properties when reused). Shave and rinse face thoroughly. For an optimal experience, finish with another application of your warm, damp towel, followed by your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion.
Short on time?
Apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream to your damp face (for optimal results). To build up a rich lather, run your shaving brush under hot water for about 30 seconds, if you don’t have time to soak it. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well. Spread on your beard, shave and rinse, following with your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion. Close the lid after use to keep the soap from drying out (though, even if it does dry out, it will not lose its efficacy or beneficial properties when reused).

You’ll notice that our soap may take a bit more water than you’re used to, in order to achieve the ideal lather. That’s actually one of our biggest points of difference — the result of its manufacturing process — and what makes Proraso soap so special. Because it has a much lower moisture content than other shave soaps, you’ll need more water on your shaving brush (we’d suggest soaking it for a few minutes prior to lathering), and perhaps just a touch more patience at first, to achieve that signature Proraso lather: rich, dense, elastic, and one that doesn’t dry out. Once you do, you’ll really see the difference (and why it’s become such a staple of shaving culture over the last 6 decades).
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.

Great scent, great lather!
I have used a LOT of shaving soaps, and this product is in the top 10% of the ones I have tried. The lather is thick and rich, and the scent, while not overpowering, is very pleasant and lingers on the skin for a long time.I don’t love the container. Specifically, the shape of the soap in the container makes it difficult to work the lather up inside the container. Using your shaving brush against your face to work the soap into a lather is a quick and effective alternative.

Rich lather and amazing scent
I have tried the green version and was impressed. This one has the better scent, foams up nice, gets a close comfortable shave. I also feel that itâs going to last a long time just like the green version did. I am definitely a repeat customer highly satisfied.

You get what you give
Iâm consistently told this smells great by the woman in my life. As far as lathering goes, when I do it right it provides a think dense lather for a tough beard and when I do it wrong, a thin lather good for a light beard and daily use. My point? Just like I make my coffee in a small espresso machine, the results can be variable. If I do my part, I get effective results. Sometimes I over extract, and have to try again. How does this relate to shaving with the wet brush? If i load up the brush with enough soap, I can work it against my face, then in my hand. To get the really good dense lather, I squeeze the brush bristles out between my fingers into the palm of my hand and apply evenly over the beard. Perfetto! But you long time shavers already know how to get what you wantâ¦

Very Good and Economical BUT Iâm Not Loving the Fragrance
After having tried various TOBS creams (which I like very much), I wanted to compare Proraso, especially given its excellent price point and pro reviews. I chose red as itâs supposed to be for heavier beards, and I like sandalwood. It is also a soap vs. a cream, which is something I didnât quite realize. Based on the pictures, it looked like a cream, but it is actually hardened. Yet it still has a softness to it. You can lather right in the container, or start that way, then transfer to a bowl, which is what I did. It lathers up nicely, and gave me a very smooth shave. My only reason for taking a star was the fragrance. While I wouldnât say it is outright bad in any way, thereâs something about it that is very off-putting to me. I canât put my finger (or nose) on it, but something isnât right about it to me. So much so, that Iâm wondering about how old the product is. In any case, it wonât be my first choice for a shave.

Amazing stuff.
Canât go wrong at this price point. Theyâve been around for a while. They know what theyâre doing. Very nice scent. Just as smooth as other products I own that cost 4x as much.

Smells and feels great. Hated the Green, Loved the Red.
I was hesitant to try this Proraso Red (Sandalwood) because I once bought Proraso Green in a tube and that one smelled like gasolene/petroleum and delivered mentholated burns. But the red is wonderful. One of my favorite shaving creams ever.

Espuma perfecta y densa, fácil de usar, aroma suave y elegante. El post afeitado bien humectado. Personalmente tomo una porción y espumo en cara, siento que directo del envase puede desperdiciar producto.

Ãrün çok güzel ve kaliteli. MüthiÅ bir kokusu var, ayrıca cildi çok iyi Åekilde yumuÅatıyor ve rahatlatıyor. Köpürmesi yeterli. Ekstra kâse almanıza/kullanmanıza gerek yok. AfterShave kremi olsaydı onu da alırdım. On üzerinden on bence.

Ich habe die Proraso Red Sapone Barbe Dure Rasierseife in der 150 ml-Packung ausprobiert und möchte meine Erfahrungen mit diesem Produkt teilen.Zunächst einmal ist der Duft der Rasierseife wirklich angenehm. Sie hat eine markante, holzige Note, die sich aus einer Kombination von Sandelholz und sheabutter ergibt. Dieser Duft sorgt für ein luxuriöses Rasiererlebnis und macht die Rasur zu einem echten Genuss. Es ist nicht nur angenehm für mich, sondern auch für meine Haut, die nach der Anwendung sehr gut duftet.Die Konsistenz der Rasierseife ist perfekt. Sie lässt sich leicht aufschäumen, sei es mit einem Rasierpinsel oder direkt mit den Händen. Ich bevorzuge es, einen Pinsel zu verwenden, da dieser die Seife optimal aufschäumt und mir hilft, eine reichhaltige und cremige Schaumschicht zu erzeugen. Das Ergebnis ist ein dicker, stabiler Schaum, der sich gut auf der Haut verteilen lässt und für eine glatte Rasur sorgt.Ein weiterer groÃer Vorteil der Proraso Rasierseife ist ihre Hautpflegeformel. Sie enthält pflegende Inhaltsstoffe wie sheabutter, die nicht nur die Haut geschmeidig macht, sondern auch die Rasur erleichtert. Die Rasierklinge gleitet sanft über die Haut, ohne zu ziehen oder zu irritieren. Ich habe festgestellt, dass ich nach der Rasur weniger Rötungen oder Irritationen habe, was für mich sehr wichtig ist.Die 150 ml-Packung ist auch sehr ergiebig. Man benötigt nur eine kleine Menge, um genügend Schaum für eine vollständige Rasur zu erzeugen. Das macht das Produkt nicht nur langlebig, sondern es ist auch kosteneffizient. Für den Preis erhält man eine qualitativ hochwertige Rasierseife, die ihr Geld wert ist.Ein kleiner Nachteil könnte sein, dass sie nicht so einfach zu transportieren ist, wenn man oft reist. Die Verpackung ist zwar robust, aber ich bevorzuge normalerweise kleinere Formate für unterwegs. Für die tägliche Anwendung zu Hause ist die GröÃe jedoch vollkommen in Ordnung und bietet einen ausgezeichneten Wert.Zusammenfassend kann ich die Proraso Red Sapone Barbe Dure Rasierseife jedem empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einer hochwertigen Rasierseife ist. Der angenehme Duft, die hervorragende Schaumproduktion und die hautpflegenden Eigenschaften machen sie zu einem hervorragenden Produkt für die tägliche Rasur. Wenn Sie ein angenehmes und effektives Rasurerlebnis wünschen, ist diese Rasierseife definitiv eine gute Wahl.
