I am one of the users that has nothing but praise for Proraso shave cream. For times when I am in a bit of a hurry I use the tubs where they are great for convenience. However, when I have a bit more time, I use the tubes of cream where I can go to town with my Parker brush and my Shave Nation stainless bowl. It creates plenty of mounds of rich beautiful cream. The lather lasts and protects through three passes. Attention: Nick Shaves..... You should try the Proraso Sensitive Skin cream as it does add a bit more protection.

@Igor-q3f 5 лет назад

I have tried over 20 soaps and creams, artisan and mass production, this is the most thick and skin protecting lather. After passing with my r89, I can still fill it there.

@aiquelindo 10 лет назад

Hey nick, I really like your videos. You are such a gentlemen. Subscribed!

@benjamincox4211 5 лет назад

I started by using this stuff and kind of hated it. I used it for about 9 months and went through half of a tube. I went to wal mart two weeks ago and found a puck of Van der Hagen mug soap and switched to that. I absolutely love it. I’m 16 btw

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

I know! The TOBS sandalwood is incredible - that was my first premium shave soap and is my wife's favorite scent. Way better than the Proraso in my opinion

@ichibansweetboy 10 лет назад

I just watched a guy shave for 12 minutes. FML.

@duke3196 2 года назад

I have sensitive skin and a cream that always satisfies is the green proraso. You can really feel the tingling when you lather it on and it feels ultra clean and fresh. Its got a great scent, not like these perfume style scents. Yes Im talking about the T.O.B.S sandalwood. I just bought it thinking it would be very high end. But knew instantly the perfumey smell was not for me. For anybody put there thinking of tobs sandalwood and expecting a lush,rich,smooth scent, it is not that. It is incredibly perfumey and is not the best if you have sensitive skin. I now know which cream is for me, and its proraso all the way. Fantastic cream and excellent fresh subtle scent

@aaronjohn466 Год назад

Hey Duke, have you tried Nivea sensitive shaving cream? If yes, how does it compare to green Proraso?

@rsg9248 4 года назад

Proraso cream shave works best when applied directly with the fingers - no brush, just like most shave creams, as opposed to soaps. Proraso provides unbelievable slickness and a great shave. Apply it with a brush, and it gets thin and slickness disappears. Only shave soaps get better with a brush..

@JonasHyldgaard 5 лет назад

I heard so much good about proraso when I started wet shaving a year ago, I bought one of each to try them out. Now I'm mostly using them for superlather. The blue is nice on its own though

@flaviusivascu 4 года назад

I also find the blue Proraso to be way better than the others

@79Sarwar 5 лет назад

Try Geo.F.Trumper brand.

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

Thanks for posting! I have used green before too - made it through the whole tube, really liked it. Not sure if I will using more of this red though...

@Beamos12 10 лет назад

This and the soap are next in my rotation. Ordered both today and can't wait to try it out. Nice videos man! Keep up the good work!

@nickshaves 10 лет назад

Thanks! More videos to come. Let me know how you like them

@Beamos12 10 лет назад

nick shaves i agree with you, i couldn't get past the scent of it. smelled like diaper rash cream to me and the shave wasn't that great. had a lot of razor burn and cut myself. oh well. at least it was only ten bucks.

@AndyLy127 10 лет назад

I've used the sensitive version of that cream I know what you're saying. What cream/soap is your favourite for shaving?

@starlodear2987 6 лет назад

The red Proraso has by far the best lather of all Proraso. The green is a bit thin

@Jake-nl6on 9 лет назад

nick,I have been watching your videos for a while and you have many many soaps.what is a good soap that is a reasonable price,thanks-jake

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

The thickest lather I have ever used is RazoRock. The slickest go to Synergy and Mike's Natural. In my experience, the Synergy and Mike's have better post-shave properties than RR. Thanks for posting!

@watches_and_blades 10 лет назад

Hi Nick, between my creams there is also this Proraso, but sincerely I don't perceive the scent of sandalwood. However my favorite fragrances are almond and coconut.

@planningwithjohn 11 лет назад

If you used a little oil on your face before the shave you might not have had as much discomfort on the second time to clean things up. I usually use Cade by l'Occitaine or Lavender Oil by The Art of Shaving. Seems to work really well for me.

@deankinsella23 10 лет назад

Awesome reviews very helpful especially caus I have similar sensitive and heavy growth areas :) awesome job bro

@nickshaves 10 лет назад

Thanks for posting and for the support!

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

Those are both coming up! I have both of them. I must say, I am still working on my lather technique with Mystic Waters - we will see. I have some Honeybee soaps too

@pokedude104 8 лет назад

I dont know if I did something wrong, but when I used this stuff, It dried on my face after like 45 seconds and it was like trying to shave with wet plaster... Not pleasant

@pissedoffdude1 7 лет назад

It was my first cream. I liked the smell, and I do still use it occasionally but I find just using a moisturizer afterwards alleviates it, specifically this st ives one that's dirt cheap on amazon (not necessarily 'mens' one but who cares), just an extra application of it makes it alright to use it every once in a while

@chrisl3550 5 лет назад

You said your neck is very sensitive. What were your results shaving with this long term? Any redness and razor bumps?

@Bud10 11 лет назад

Nice review, i love the Proraso green, I'll have to give this a shot next. Any chance you will do a review on the Mystic River soaps or Honeybee soaps? I heard good things about honeybee but mixed on Mystic River mostly on it's difficulty to lather. Just curious what you thought of them.

@samuelshavesandreviews4199 10 лет назад

what was your first brush man?

@chrisl3550 5 лет назад

Also, I like to shave in the shower. Is using the brush and this style of cream doable in the shower?

@zhpottery 11 лет назад

Hi Bud, I have had great luck and enjoyment like you with The Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol, tub soap specifically. But in regards to Mystic Water, I have wonderful results with the Sensitive Skin but as you mention, it was after a few different ways to attempt lather. Nick, if I can suggest starting with less water in the brush and some to start on the soap. Soap in hand will work but I have been happy to see how I can load the brush inside of a cup and press it into itself. Best to both! :)

@doomsday0884 10 лет назад

Hi Nick, have you ever try The real shaving Co. Shaving cream..??? It is made in England and works great..!!!!!

@kjparker28 7 лет назад

I bought TOBS sandlewood. The cream was nice to shave with but the smell was not nice , almost sweet. The osp indian sandlewood was lovely

@MagickYoga 9 лет назад

I've experienced some dry spots on my face with this stuff although I'm sure everyone will experience something different . I'm currently trying JM Fraser shaving cream and find it very moisturizing after shaving no after shave needed .

@asadb1990 9 лет назад

+Mike Porta yeah the green one really dries my skin. at the local stores the only ones available is either the white or green.

@UnoBadBadger 11 лет назад

Just got some of this and tried it yesterday. It definitely is a different sandalwood. Kind of bitter smelling maybe? Definitely different than the TOBS sandalwood

@dmoore0079 7 лет назад

It's slick and moisturizing, but the scent is too strong and lingering for me to use everyday. For those who do like it, Italian Barber is selling tubes of the Sandalwood Proraso for $5 right now

@MICKIN310 6 лет назад

i love this soap

@tletang 11 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Thinking of trying this out, Normally use Proraso green.

wow how YMMV. I have 5 yrs using proraso. perfect load always and lasting slickness after a first path. you cannot use too much water on the tube creams. badger silver, fine or synthetic is Best

Have you tried Kiss my face shaving cream? You should try it out and review it.

Does Prosoro make a fragrance free shave cream?

@IveJustSeenAFace23 5 лет назад

ajay60610 Yes they do. Along with fragrance free preshave balm and aftershave balm.

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

Merkur 34c. Thanks for posting!

@DS-ff6ze 8 лет назад

Proraso is in a catch 22. It's not as dirt cheap as drug store soaps. But for a few dollars more, you can get an artisan soap.

@dreamtheater_92 9 лет назад

So what's your favorite/daily shave cream?

@vanni9283 11 лет назад

What kind of razor are you using?

@tonymarinelli7303 9 лет назад

This is exactly why I don't like Merkur, why should I have to make sure that the blade is lined up evenly. With my Muhle, no worries AT ALL and it is a better quality razor.

@stefanodomeni 8 лет назад

+Tony Marinelli Mind telling me which Muhle razor you have? Aligning the blade on my Merkur is beginning to bug me.

@tonymarinelli7303 8 лет назад

StivenCabrera3 I have the R89 and the R41, the 89 is comparable to this Merkur or the Edwin Jagger DE89.Cheers.

@bardawulf5827 8 лет назад

+Tony Marinelli I've several Merkur razors and I have never had s single problem with alignment. Maybe you're twisting too hard and too fast. I go slow and easy as I tighten down on the blade but nothing obsessive. I've been DE shaving for over 30 years.. so maybe it's my skill level too.

@donfraysier5079 8 лет назад

+Barda Wulf I also have had no problem aligning Merkur razors.

@sukdabombill9202 6 лет назад

Nice tie bro :)

@MisterRictus1 11 лет назад

@John Rush Agreed, although for the sake of a review it's probably best not to so that you can get more accurate results of the cream itself.

@nickshaves 10 лет назад

Thanks for posting! I try to keep it straight up in my reviews - I think that shaving creams and soaps should be able to stand on their own

@glowy303 9 лет назад

It's cheap and has established branding, which contributes to the mass appeal. Proraso shaving cream is good enough, but there are better and nicer creams out there which means I don't purchase it. I am happy to spend a little extra on a product which performs a little better.

@rvcuban77 10 лет назад

I got a tub of this soap. Used it 3 times. It is not very slick. Having a hard time liking this soap.

@nickshaves 10 лет назад

I agree. It's ok, but there are just so many better options out there!

@danieljackson1272 8 лет назад

Yes!

@knightmare1015 10 лет назад

I bought the tub version of this soap. DO NOT BUY THIS SOAP OR CREAM IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. It's a very thirsty type of soap which means you can't use any preshave products including their stuff because it absorbs it. Within 10 minutes of using this soap, I had a really bad rash and couldn't shave for a week. Proraso also tends to dry out the skin and it's not very slick either. In terms of building lather it does extremely well.

@watches_and_blades 10 лет назад

I use Proraso pre shave for sensitive skin (white line) before every shave, regardless of the type of cream. This is a cream for tough beards.

@knightmare1015 10 лет назад

Bayerbiker The green pre-shave is what and all that I use now as far as Proraso goes. Before they re-formulated everything, Proraso used to be top notch, now they're not.

@watches_and_blades 10 лет назад

I agree, but I used the green line just one time because I don't like the excessive cold feeling on my face. Proraso "suggest" the white line specifically for sensitive skin.

@knightmare1015 10 лет назад

Bayerbiker I mainly use it as an aftershave cream to calm the burning down if I have any. I've pretty much been using artisan made soaps these days instead of the main stream stuff. My personal favorite is HTGAM's chocolate bourbon. It reminds me of chocolate cake batter that was mixed with an electric mixer. It's insanly slick, has plenty of cushion and it's also a lather monster. Here's the link to that online store: howtogrowamoustachestore.com/

@googlesu 7 лет назад

Agree!

@MrJmac509 9 лет назад

Seems like this cream gets a lot of glowing reviews, After finishing a tube in my rotation I would have to agree with your opinion as being an average product. Not saying it's a bad product, but definitely nothing special. I'm not going to purchase this product again.

@nickshaves 9 лет назад

Absolutely! Good stuff, not great. Too many great artisan soaps out there at the same price

@igorbakovic5451 4 года назад

Well for 10 bucks it's no wonder you sound a litle bit dissapointed. In Europe this tube costs less than 5 bucks. And for 5 bucks it can't get better than this. Cheers Nick.

@primalconcretesledge3137 10 лет назад

Are you trying to taste the cream?

@nickshaves 10 лет назад

Not intentionally! I just lather over my mouth sometimes...

@magicja 8 лет назад

I totally did this wrong. I am a new wet shaver. I rung the water out of my brush with my fingers. I should of left the extra water and put more water on my face. Just when I thought I was watching this video correctly.

@nickshaves 11 лет назад

Got it!

@monkeymuggs 6 лет назад

Buy a shower mirror, take safety razor in shower and a dime size of speick shaving cream, after minutes of hot water then shave, so much easier.

@pjo1964 10 лет назад

Why do most people seem to agree with the reviewer? Look at other reviews of the same product and if the reviewer likes it, then so does his audience. Ive never seen so many people down Proraso in the comment section of a review...lol
