Proraso Jabón de afeitar

Finally got a decent shave outside of shaving in a hot steaming shower with Cremo shaving cream thanks to this shaving soap and Proraso pre shaving lotion and brush. I typically didn’t shave with a plain razor outside the shower due to multiple previous experiences with razor burn, but that may be changing now. The smell is a little spicy like old spice aftershave. I like it a lot so far!

I bought all 3 Proraso soaps (Green, White, Red).With any of the 3 you can get a good lather and a good shave.I personally didn't care for the mentholated green soap. I could feel a slight menthol sensation in my eyes when I applied the whipped soap to my face. Also - Not always a big fan of the cooling sensation it provides. If you like that, it might be the soap for you. Those things aside, it has a pleasant, fresh scent.The white is for sensitive skin, but I never noticed a difference on MY skin. It also has a pleasant, fresh scent, and is probably the mildest scent of the three. I'll likely return to it every once in a while, just for a change.I suspect the "red" might work very slightly better on stiff stubble, which is what it's designed for. (It should be allowed to sit on the …

This shaving soap works incredibly well if you have a thick or coarse beard. It lathers up easily in the bowl and really softens the hair, which helps provide a much smoother, closer shave with less irritation. On top of the great performance, the sandalwood scent is fantastic—classic, masculine, and not overpowering. Highly recommend giving this a try

After trying Proraso in the green can, I thought I'd give the sandalwood scent a try, and Proraso did not disappoint! Same great lather which makes for a comfortable close shave. The sandalwood scent is strongest while shaving, but leaves only a slight hint on the skin afterwards. If you enjoy the fragrance of sandalwood, this version of Proraso won't let you down, especially while shaving. Personally, I prefer not walking around in a cloud of fragrance, and I very much like the gentle leave-behind of this shave soap compared to some that can leave you with watery eyes, struggling to breathe.The lather-up is easy and no fuss. I used a nylon bristle shaving brush and get excellent lather and laydown with it. The soap leaves a nice slick gliding surface, but not enough to impede the …

This is the best shaving soap/cream I have ever used. In the past, I have only used Nivea, Gillette, and Barbasol shaving creams. I recently purchased a Yaqi shaving brush out of curiosity, and decided to pull the trigger on this Proraso shaving soap based on company history and customer reviews. Well, now I understand why Proraso has the loyal following and stellar reputation that it does. I find it quite different from the other shaving creams I used. I don’t know how else to explain it other than to say that this shaving soap felt thicker, creamier, and more luxurious than anything else I used previously. I also got a better/closer shave when using my Mach3 blades, and my skin felt better afterwards. Meaning, I didn’t feel the same type of discomfort or irritation right after shaving …

This is my favorite Proraso. For me it seems to be the most easy to lather and the most cushioning. The green Proraso is good but it also has a ton of menthol, so it’s not good all the time. The white one smells great but it seems to need a better balance of water to soap. The blue one doesn’t smell like anything and didn’t feel much different than the white one. The red one smells really good, and lathers very well and seems to calm down the irritation on my face better. I also noticed that instead of the vegetable base of the white Proraso this one appears to have beef tallow(stearic acid) in it which would explain why I believe that it performs better overall. Something about beef tallow protects the face well and helps the razor glide. I used shave oil too because their pre shave …

Update: 5-24-19I've updated my original 2 star rating to a 4. It turns out that for several months I was using too much water in my boar brush which caused me all sorts of problems for ALL my soaps, Proraso more-so than others since it has more water in it already than other stuff out there. I could not get dense slippery lather from it if my life depended on it, just thin watery bubbles. You know that famous "Marco Method" of loading a brush? It's horrible, for a boar brush/Proraso in particular which naturally holds more water than badgers and synthetics do, even when squeezed. If you take a soaking wet boar and gravity drain it, boy are you in for trouble! Instead, gently squeeze the water out of it THEN load your wet Proraso puck for roughly a minute. The time required is greatly …

Pros:Great smell (the wife got a whiff and said she really liked it - it's not "medicine-y" like the Proraso Green with its menthol)Long LastingProduces a really nice, creamy latherComes in its own bowl that fits nicely in my palm - makes it really easy to whip up lather!Cons:Only place I've found it is via Amazon; nobody local sells it! (not really a con, but if I'm running low, I have to plan to purchase more at least 2 days before I run out, thanks to Prime)The bowl is a little hard to store (my medicine cabinet isn't very deep, and the bowl would cause it not to close, so it has to sit out on the counter. Minor nitpick, but that's not Proraso's fault - I'd rather put it away if I can, but the cabinet's really shallow)So this soap is nice and slick - just a little bit of water on a …
