Proraso Pre Shave Cream - Nourishing

I have quite sensitive skin, and find that I often get irritated after shaving. Proraso creams have been a fantastic solution for me, and this is my pick of the bunch. You can use it as both a pre- and after-shave cream, and it works perfectly for both. The lingering scent is pleasant, and certainly not overpowering at all. The only person who detects it is my girlfriend, meaning you really have to be up close and personal. The cream also goes a long way, with a less than pea-sized blob being enough to do face and neck. That means that it's 'oily' enough to spread, but not so much that it doesn't absorb and leave a residue. That also makes this great value, and a pot lasts a long time (plus the fact that this does for pre- and post-shaving means you just need this and a shaving soap/cream/foam). I will admit that a) I am not the most frequent shaver (2/3 times a week) and that b) I travel at least a week in a month and don't take it as it's a glass pot, but one pot is enough to last me a year. I really like that I can buy one pot of this, and one medium bar of shaving soap, and that's me done for the year. I suppose I have just identified a potential issue for some in that the glass pot is not the most travel friendly, but I think that those of us that travel very frequently generally tend to accept having a set of smaller, less breakable versions of most of our everyday bathroom products, so not an issue at all for me. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend this or indeed any of the other Proraso pre/post shave creams.

Excellent product

Like the post shave balm, I found this Proraso product very good, I definitely find the shave smoother after applying this product before the actual shaving cream. The scent is not overwhelming but noticeable, which I personally like. A decent price paid on Amazon, and a jar should last quite a long time, although it should be noted I shave approximately twice a week, so more frequent shavers would have to compare its longevity to their usual products.

It was perhaps a little too thick as it had a tendency to clog my razor and was impossible to rinse out without dismantling the blade from the handle. It did work well to prevent razor burn though, so I gave three stars, if it was easier to rinse from the blade I'd have given it five.

nice scent, and gives a close shave.

Great product. Buy it

Very pleased with this product. I use as a pre-shave, wet face, rub in proraso then lather on top with cream and shaving brush. Gives a much better shave than lather alone and does not clog the blades (I use Harry's). Leaves skin soft and smooth with just a hot and cold rinse. I've been shaving for over 40 years (every day in the forces) and only now am I getting a comfortable shave using this product and decent blades. I have not been given this product or Harry's blades for free to review, I buy everything I use.

I have really soft blemish free sensitive skin. I am using Taylors of Old Bond Street creams in tubs, an assortment of different fragrances. However, before using this with new but mild blades suchs as nacet, personna, derby etc, I was getting a couple of nicks & cuts in the same places, namely my chin & under my nose. This pre shave cream seems to have sorted it perfectly. I washed my face in hot water first, then applied the pre shave cream on top. Then I added the shaving cream with a shaving brush & lathered thoughly until it was creamy smooth. The shave with the grain in two passes was so much more comfortable & better with this cream. Buy it to avoid cuts/ nicks/ razor burn & discomfort. EXCELLENT!!!

Daje genialny poślizg dla mojej brzytwy.

Linea Rossa, trovo questa crema molto buona e dall'aroma gradevolissimo, il mio preferito, peccato si faccia fatica a trovarla nei negozi. OTTIMA

I received the jar and some cream from the jar is missing . Not nice .

I won’t shave without it. I have used several different products but keep coming back to this. Goes a long way and my razor glides over my skin. Nice after smell and leaves my skin smooth and without any nicks.

Great pre shave cream. A bit costly but worth it if you can afford it.
