ProrasoSensitive Shaving Cream for Men

I like this for shaving legs, underarms, and bikini area. It has some soft like beads that help exfoliate skin prior to shaving. Gentle on bikini area. This is probably primarily a man’s product so the smell is not feminine but I like the shave so it’s not a deal breaker for me.this company is out of Italy and has been in business for a long time and this product has been around the same. I trust products like that and that’s why I decided to try it. My skin is sensitive and this product gave me a close shave with no irritation or dryness. I will be buying this product again. This product is easy to put in a TSA approved bottle for travel as well. A little goes a long way and you can control the consistency from cream to more soapy.I personally like the container it comes in. I usually use a bikini aftershave gel but with this product you can forego it with out any issues and with its ingredients that exfoliate just right you can forgo a prepping body scrub. Personally I like a product that streamlines the amount of products you have to use; it saves time and money and these days more than ever that is an important point for consumers and without sacrificing quality.

Consistency of the cream was fine, not separated or runny.Used about an inch of cream in my palm, loaded onto the brush directly and it formed a nice lather. Nice smooth shave, no irritation and pleasant smell.I like the tube for travel, no bowl necessary.Would definitely buy again.

Excellent cream. Don't get nicks or cuts with this along with Harry's razor blades. Just good a smooth and easy to shave.

If you've tried other formulations of Proraso (namely the tube formulations), you know it's going to be a great shave. This sensitive skin version is no exception, it delivers a slick, cushiony lather, whether you face or bowl (scuttle, mug, or what have you) and brush lather. Like the other versions, the lather retains moisture very well, so no drying out on your face or in your bowl.If you're finding that irritation is a problem, and you're bouncing from blade manufacturer to blade manufacturer, try this formula. I know some folks have a sensitivity to nickel, or sometimes the hyper-scientific marketing termed blade coatings; this problem is no joke. This formula, with green tea and oatmeal may be just the ticket.Want to try it? Preparation is key for this experiment, so let your face or scalp rest for a few days, to heal and rest; just deal with the stubble, and let the haters hate. Mount up your trusted, tried-and-true blade of choice, and lather up with the sensitive skin magical brew, and have yourself a shave. Be mindful of your technique, because you'll be more aware of how this formula provides such a solid and pleasant cushion and glide for your razor. Done shaving? Great now hold up...Don't use your usual post-shave routine. Got an alum block? If not, get one. I suggest the Proraso block, it's made in ITALY, not CHINA...so you can have a bit more confidence that the block is alum, not some mystery composition. After applying the alum, wait a full minute, and rinse with COLD water, then PAT, not wipe or rub your face dry. Give yourself at least thirty seconds, and apply the sensitive skin post-shave balm, you don't want to use something with alcohol in it, which may dry out your freshly shaved face or scalp. Next? Reap the benefits of a great shave, without the usual irritation. As always, YMMV with any and all shaving related products.Just a personal note about the fragrance. This formula has what I'd describe as a citrus-like scent. I find it clean, and refreshing. But, you know how it goes, others categorize it as awful. I would say that it is nowhere near as polarizing as the scent of ARKO (urinal cake, anyone?). If you like some of the grapefruit smelling citrus based shaving soaps, creams, and aftershave stuff out there, this will not disappoint.

I use this cream when I don't have time to use my brush and solid soap shaving cream.This seems to be the best of the tube type creams I have tried over the years. That said, I wish the quality were more consistent: Sometimes it is smooth textured and thick, but other times it is a bit gritty, like fine sand is mixed in. Once it was both - smooth at the start of the tube, and gritty/thick by the time I reached the bottom of the tube. And one time it was a bit runny through the entire tube.All of the different textures gave a decent shave, but it is disconcerting not knowing what is going to come out of the tube!This is the reason I usually use a brush and cake type shaving soap. With a brush, the lather is consistent.
