Proraso Proraso Proraso.

Well my Proraso A/S was getting low and I ordered another from Connaught, I thought I would try the Proraso soap too, so also ordered that.
Both arrived today and I just gave it a go.
Used the Proraso pre-shave cream also to start, my usual 2 passes with touch ups and mixed the pre/post cream with the A/S in the palm of my hand and rubbed on shaved face.
Ive gotta say, the Proraso is as good as it gets for me, really fresh with the menthol.
Quite impressed with the soap, its a soft soap of the same consistancy of Nanny's and works very well. I chose to lather in a bowl and then face lather.
So, its all Eucalypyus and menthol for me at the moment, using my complete matching pre-cream, soap and A/S.
Anyone else have a favourite matching set of shaving products :?:

I like the Proraso trio too, nothing beats that cold feeling!

I also like the Tabac soap, AS & Balm

Yes & yes, but for the best skincare set (speaking personally, of course) I would go for Speick

When I tried the Proraso sensitive yonks ago the only thing which stopped me making it a reg was the menthol (not cause it's bad, just cause I don't like menthol). Apart from that it's a really nice soap.

Only "combo" I could pick for me would just be glycerine based products. Trumper's for pre & after shave, Mama Bear for soap ........... although even that may alter with the latest products from Sunbury & Prof B.

I tried the Speick splash and I still found it harsh. Is the balm better?

The Balm is the only product in the range i didn't get on with, it just smelled,well, wrong.

Hmm... I find both the balm and slash to be quite mellow. I to find that you only need a very little of the balm as it goes a long way and too much will just sit on your skin for ages.

I used the Proraso Pre & Post cream tonight for the first time and it gave a nice cold menthol feeling to my face. Good stuff. :mrgreen:

The only combo I've tried is T&H Ultimate Comfort PSO, SC & ASB... aaand it feels like heaven!

The soap and balm work well together for me. Good value, both.

Hiya,

Proraso was one of the first soaps or creams I tried, one reason being it was sold all over Chicago for a while years ago. Many of the Target stores stocked Proraso items, including the red Proraso and the (green) canned shaving cream.

I don't like menthol, so you can imagine this doesn't work for me. I did use it a bunch though and never found the stuff to be that great. Neither the scent or performance did anything for me. Heh, I was sent some a while ago and tried it again after all these years. I still don't like it.

As the dragons would say,
'Im out'
I have wanted to try Tabac for quite a while now, A few weeks ago I went into Boots and noticed they now stock the A/S and deo but no shaving soap. I gave it a good sniff and was very dissapointed .
I will give the Speick a try as recommended from an earlier post, but for now im loving the menthol blast!

I rarely shave in the mornings, but I'm off work today and it was sunny (not sure why that matters?) so I thought I would.

So, Proraso pre-shave cream, soap and AS. Ice cold - can't wait to go outside
