Original Formula Pre-Post Protective Cream, Jar (Since 1860) 75ml

This product came as a complete surprise as a post and pre-shave balm. Nice menthol scent and is not greasy or oily.

In my simple comparison, I give Prep the win over Proraso's preshave but not by much. Both are great. I think Proraso's scent is a bit better than Prep's, but that only matters during the shave. Prep has an odd subtle smokiness to it that Proraso doesn't have.There is no lingering fragrance. Prep does a little better job at doing what a preshave should do - working with the lather to create a smooth glide shave with reduced skin irritation compared to using nothing at all. I haven't tried Prep's other uses, but it does seem more versatile. Compare for yourself.

I first saw this cream when browsing pre-shaves on Google. At first, I bought two since I was worried about running out, but one 75 mL jar can last you a while. It’s awesome not just as a pre-shave layer, but also for dry hands and feet too! In all, a great product you should try

I heard that Prep is good as both a pre-shave and post-shave cream, and overall good for one's skin. It is basically Noxema, with a similar medicinal scent, but not as strong a scent as Noxema. It has a cooling effect and I think it would be great for double-edge wet shaving. It's cheaper than a similar Italian pre-shave, Proraso. The directions are in Italian, but you basically put a bit on your skin and rub it in. Noxema is cheaper than Prep, but the scent is pretty strong. I'd like this better if it was non-scented. The various other uses are on the lid, which I find helpful.

My family used to have in Italy and now that I can found also here in USA I will never go back!

I really like this pre-shave it reminds me of a green Proraso, but more mild. It makes a great addition to my shaving den.

This product is just like I remember from my childhood. My grandfather was a barber and he put Prep on everything. I didn’t think you could still get it. Should have known amazon would have it! Still has the original scent and everything. Works great on my tired feet at night. Bought several jars for family members too. Will soon be ordering more.

I grew up in Italy, so it reminds me of when I was a kid because we used it a lot, but not good for prep shaving, does not seems make difference at all. better for refreshing after shave and whatever hydration and such.
