Proraso Red Shaving Soap and a 101 Year Old Razor - No Shave November DAY 4 

I love the way you talk about your razors and your life almost as much as you talk about the soap!

LOL somebody took my suggestion from last week... your a man for the people...

The 1918 Gillette is my favorite razor of all in my collection.

I like the proraso, it,’s a nice soap for that price. Have you ever tried any Meissner soaps, Sinatra? If not, you should give it a try some day, I love those! Thanks for the great content.

You know, I'm a Gillette guy myself. Been using their products ever since I began shaving and haven't stopped yet. I shave with Gillette Fusion cartridge razors ever day. I love it! Keep up the good work, man.

I have three of them (red, green, white) red has a great performance specially on colder days, green is awesome on summer days and I use white in colder days too, I found it to be the most mousturizing of them, love all proraso profucts, btw nice shave!

It's a good shaving soap. I've bought this product recently and I'm pretty satisfied.

I started with the Proraso White because I'd always thought my skin was sensitive, turns out it's more of my curly whiskers that were the problem. I love how clean the brand is, it's a pretty good classic. I tried the Barrister and Mann Terror menthol soap and it dried my skin out something terrible though!!

Hi Sinatra! Sandro from Italy! You get a Proraso red, it’s one of my favorite and cheap. Cella is good but goes for 10€, way too much for a soap.

Excellent soaps for the price. Properly lathered, it is amazing. I used the Red for awhile just casually lathering. One day, I took my time lathering. To me, it was an improvement. Just when I think I am crazy in my enthusiasm for wet shaving, I hear Kevy Shaves practices lathering........

Italian pronunciation on point man! Great shave, I love that soap I use it at least twice a week it's great when it's cold outside

Barbershop is my favorite soap of all not just stirling

Oh, you picked the red Proraso, the one marketed as for "barba dura", i.e. a tough beard. I wonder if it makes a difference -- even the toughest whiskers can be softened down, and contemporary DE blades are sharp enough to cut through a lot. I once tried if I could slice a Dunlop nylon guitar pick (don't remember the thickness) with a Rapira blade, and it worked well. But I'm glad you liked it. Now for the concert stuff...the first time I attended a rock concert was in 2015. The first time I attended a classical concert was in 1997, when I was 16 years old. The conductor was also my teacher. Concerning the length of the razor handle -- I already mentioned that I think short handles are good for shaving one's face with a safety razor. There are always exceptions due to anatomical reasons, but for most people, a short handle is fine for the face. King C. Gillette marketed his first razors toward men who were used to the straight razor. Safety razors with non-disposable blades did exist in 19th century Germany, but they were the equivalent of owning a heated Gillette Fusion -- a luxury item. They came in versions with 3 or 7 wedge-shaped blades, and the box hand a stropping slot in it. Shave, take the blade out, drop it into the stropping slot and take a new one the next day, until they all need a honing. These razors had a short handle, too, because they were meant to replace the straight, which you have to lift all the way to your face. The so-called "handle" serves only for balance and to store away the blade safely. Oh, and kudos for not using one of that silicone-loaded "3 days growth" stubble conditioners. I swore off them when I learned about what is in them and decided I would rather have some itching than my skin sealed with silicone. I am prone to blackheads. I found out that, wherever on your body, as soon as the stubble has reached a certain length, it no longer itches, if at all.

THATS HOW MY BEARD was now i got a beard. I just trimmed it yesterday. Im letting it grow out. Im tired busy weekend last week

I love Proraso! I have been using the Green variant. I think it’s like the Bigalow stuff you got from Bath and Body Works except it’s the tub like your Red Proraso and not a shave cream in a tube. The Green is eucalyptus and Menthol scent, might be right up your ally ;)

Nice shave! If you like Proraso red, then you've gotta try Proraso green soap and aftershave that has menthol and eucalyptus. It is one of my favorite soap and aftershave combos.

Easily one of my favorite soaps ever. I like the proraso red in the squeeze tube better but both a fantastic

I use all three ,white,green,and red and they all do a great job.

2:54 “Cornholio” is Beavis’ attempt at Spanish.

Proraso has just recently reformulated all their products and hitting stores, looks for the super formula written on the packaging

Hey Bob, PRORASO are very good products, made in Italy, i use very often a green line, pre shave, shaving foam or barber soap in tube...are very valid products for shave, try also after shave lotion...sorry if I'm so nationalist. See you next video. Ciao.

Love the videos and proraso

Karite is Shea butter.

Seen another youtuber say that Marshalls sometimes has the soap in stock for $5.. I have gone to 3 different ones and they only have the aftershave and the post shave cream. Guess I'll have to get it on amazon.

I bought a travel shave bowl at my local meijer store in the camping section for $2.99. I used twice and it worked great. It even collapsed so that you can travel with it.

Imho, the green proraso creams are average lather wise. The reds are creamier and soften the stubble better.

Great shave love the vintage razors

Great videos. Keep em coming. Learning a lot. New to wet shaving.

got all their soaps love them

Proraso red is one of my favourites. I watched the F1 at the weekend, I personally think that Austin has one of the best tracks on the calendar. I'll go there one day!

I think this is the razor you used to take your “No Shave November” beard off last year, are we going to get a repeat this year? Or will the Gillette Heritage take beard off! Stay tuned! Lol

Great Vid! Been waiting for you to give Proraso a try. Proraso red is a must have in your arsenal. But I noticed that the performance of Proraso highly dependent on the hardness of your water. Crazy cause it's the only soap I noticed that with.

I like this razor....couldn't find it so cheap.... I have a few Prorasos and none came w boxes. One I got from TJ Max $4 BUT is came yellow and cracked really old stuff... and ItalianBarber had a sale last Tue, so I ordered one more... This year I got the itch that even woke me up....cray cray; but in the neck....

I love the Proraso Red. Good stuff. However I’m not a fan of the Green. If you’re interested I’ll send you the Green, I only used it once but didn’t like get any razorbear germs in it. I don’t think I have any deadly germs anyway.

great video as always, i love Proraso i think i got all their soaps after shaves ect and i´m Danish...cheers Peter

Thanks for the tip on beard oil. I will have to try that. Main reason I stay clean shaved is because I can't stand the way it feels when it gets all prickly and dry.

A very fine video as always. I have been thinking of trying an open comb.

I have typewriters over 100 years old and still work! Quality stuff also if you thought barbasol was thick you should try Van Der Hagens self heating shave cream no joke its like glue!

Proraso is good stuff used the green and white yet to try the red.

Proraso has been around since 1948!

Have you already try the new latest Barbasol face and body lotion or moisturizing body wash 🧴 with original and soothing aloe? Because, they have it at big lots in stores. And, that new Barbasol face and body lotion is good to used it for after shaving.

I was given a tube of the red by s friend. When I shave my head with it the scent stays with me in a warm fuzz all day long.

You should do a coffee hang out outside

I have a gold version of that razor. I love it.

Good luck on getting the new Gillette. Mine got pushed back to November 20th

Another great video! Can’t wait for the live stream on the porch, hope it is on a Tuesday night 🥴🙈😂 And you know where the meetup should be, right? Wink wink 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nice shave Sl. I like Proraso red, one of my favorites. I’m more of a Nascar fan, but i do watch f1 sometimes.

Will be send you some of that mamma bear cherry almond shave soap soon to try out.

Hi buddy great video your Beard is looking good I’m glad you Take part in no shave November for Men’s health

Why don’t you use cartridges 3-5 razor blades

I'm might come to Austin when the f1 is on. Watch the race and have a shave at yours.

I know something u haven't tryed try this take two double edge razors of ur choice and use both at the same time you can lather and wet ur face however but try useing two de razors to shave both sides of ur face and to make it interesting you need to get a voltage mountain dew and sip it through a straw so take a big sip through the straw for every two strokes u take

The Proraso is a great soap, but also try the pre-shave/aftershaves (red is my choice, other colours are available).

That's the first one I got from them (at least I think so, judging from the package colours) and I still have it, it has lasted me very long. Though I got a big tin anniversary box with pre-shave, shaving soap and aftershave splash. I love the vintage smell, it's very pleasant. Edit: Btw I'm still enjoying that DSCosmetics brush. I may have said this before, but I find the synthetic brush retains water (and therefore also soap) way better than badger brush bristles. I don't think I'll be going back. The synthetic also feels nicer, I'd say.

It's been a few months since I shaved and I barely have a beard. I also have a circular patch of hardly any growth around my chin area. I wish it grew like my hair, thick and quick lol.

another great video thanks Proraso red is one of my faves you gotta try the matching after shave now .... get on down that rabit hole haha

Been meaning to get some proraso shave cream I think nows the time 😎

I love cherry scents...my favorite fruit.

I hope your beard grows faster i like this stuff. Yeah mine was just like that then in 4 days it grew fast ok buddy take care. Wow you saw imagine dragons. Cool.

Never tried Proraso aside from the C. O. Bigelow stuff, maybe I'll give it a try in 5 years when I need more shaving cream/soap lol. Love that razor though, I have one as well (a few years newer I think but the same type) and it's one of my favorites to shave with, probably my favorite DE overall (not that I've used many, I generally prefer SEs).

Living Legend!

The Proraso Red is ‘soothing and nourishing with sandaklwood and shea butter". Proraso was founded in Florence in 1908.

While over here in Blighty we call it Movember.

What does the Proraso red smell like? I love my Proraso green shaving soap.

Beard is going into shape

I love proraso products. They've been around since 1908. Longer than your razor! I went ro COTA for the moto gp race the first year they were open. It's a beautiful track. Btw- always check discount stores for proraso stuff. Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington, etc. I've gotten a lot of their stuff cheaply that way.

All I have used is the Proraso Green. It does the job, and the price is reasonable, so I don't see a reason to try anything else. Still don't see much difference in the Feather and Astra blades. I will say the Osage Rub has grown on me. So in 20 years when this bottle is used up I'll probably buy another. LOL

The best shaving soap ever made was a solid stick Palmolive brand , unfortunately they have stopped making it

Very good pronunciation. Bravo ;)

Try the original green one. It has menthol.

Just ordered some Cold Fusion soap and aftershave. Also have the Fine Snakebite. Curious to see which is stronger💪🏻❄️

My Gillette Heritage is supposed to be here tomorrow (Tuesday).

I genuinely can't believe that you have never tried Proraso red before...

I’m thinking your new Heritage razor would be the perfect device for December 1st.

You never tired Proraso Red?! That was my first soap!!!!

Looking good ! The beard suits u 🧔

Is it ok to use virgin coconut oil as pre-shave?

Not a lover of the Proraso I find it to drying on my skin

The Proraso red is a good soap, if you still have it maybe you could use the r41 at the end of Movember?! :P

Day 4 of the contest. Are you sure you're master of your domain?

Just PLANNING AHEAD! Hey Sinatra Lennon, the day will come when N0-Shave November ends & you may want to remove that distinguished-looking beard/goatee. When you do, you will want the slickest soap in the world - it's even slicker than you are after a couple of double Single Malts. And the recipe is so stupidly simple. DO DIS: I'm sure you can find a way to face lather with it, but try it first with a bowl: Simply mix equal parts of Cremo and Neutrogena for Sensitive Skin (nickel-sized dabs will do you, with enough leftover to do the cat, too). Blend with a well wrung out damp (not wet) brush, and add a drop of water at a time. It lathers up nice & dense, and is so slick that if you use too much, you risk your face sliding right off your head. I've been using it all week with several different razor and blade combos that aren't my favorite choices, yet managed to easily get Perfect, smooth and irritation-free shaves with each - every day ... all week. I've posted the recipe over on one of the Shaving forums, I've even named it after you: Cremogena. OK, not after you ...

does any one now how to make it solid again it became mushy and wen i try to get lather ,chunks of the poraso stick to brush:/

Whats up sinatralennon! Another great video. Ive been using my Fatboy on setting 8 with a Gillette platinum blade. Also, are you on instagram? if not, you should! you would be instafamous!

This aftershave or snakebite fine? I've been using proraso, which is great, but I want to crank the menthol up another notch.

If you could learn to use one without slicing yourself wouldn't the Shavette be better to edge your beard than a razor?

Have you ever heard of/ done the Marco method?

I just got an email from Amazon telling me that my Gillette Heritage is now delayed until the end of November

I like Proraso Green much more its smells better to. And i shave away my no shave november beard today it itching so much so it drive me crazy and i try beard oil but dont work on me.

What would you do if your fam wanted u to keep your beard 🤔

You're lucky I have bad luck with my Gillette heritage ordered it Oct 19th said I would be getting my November 7th or 8th also and then Amazon sent me a notice yesterday telling me that it would be the 27th or 28th.... Sighhhhhhh

If you like cherry try out Stirling's black cherry and almond creme. It's good enough to eat. Not that I've tried...ok maybe for scientific research lol

Can you tell me how to grow goatee i have beard oil & i am 19 year's old tell what to do how to apply

I used Proraso sandalwood twice a year ago. It was exactly how I thought it would be. I gave it away. I was over it quickly. I like vegan stuff a lot better than the animal tallow stuff.

Anyone else get there new gillette order pushed to lather this month?

You can do worse than Clark Griswold though--in the end he was good-hearted and loved by his family👍

You know Sinatra, you don’t have to participate in no shave November, it’s not federal law.

Why and How does he looks like legit and a scam at the same time??

Cornholio?! What??

Have to say the smell of Proraso Red makes me gag.. ugh!

10 dollars? It’s a damn scam! I bought that for 2€!
