Proraso Green post shave heaven!

Proraso Green aftershave splash lotion 'Lozione Dopobarba' , which burns like hell. Felt nothing like it. Pure pain, but I love it.

Shortly afterwards followed by a generous helping of Proraso Liquid Creme... 'Crema Liquida'. Super cooling, super soothing.

Makes me feel fresh, cooled and clean every time.

I like it when a standard 'mass produced' product turns out to be excellent. I understand the whole small batch 'artisan' industry, and there are some great products there.... but I don't like the whole hipster bullcrap snobbery thing that it usually generates.

I've got a fair bit of artisan stuff as well and high end soaps and creams. I still rate the Proraso creams highly. I prefer the creams to their soaps though.

I am sure there are elements of the shaving world the two with trend of course, but most people I find particularly on hear tend to be very performance based , so things get judged on how they work for that person.

Proraso make some good products , I like their Sandalwood Splash (You gotta like Sandalwood of course). I unfortunately seem to reach with the soap and pre shaves.

I havn't tried Proraso soap yet, I have a tub of their green soap, that I got for the overnight man bag, but never used it yet.

That is sacrilege! Get the Green out and give it a whirl, it shouldn't be hiding in an overnight bag!

If you're getting too big a burn from AS it could be you're getting too close with your shaving and need to ease up a bit. I like to use a splash of witch hazel immediately after shaving and leave it to dry before putting on the AS. I think it cools it down a little and feels really fresh & clean.

You're right there are some great mass-produced AS splashes available. Some I would recommend are Brut, Old Spice, Pinaud Clubman, Floid, Speick, Pitralon. The last few in that list you can pick up in Europe really cheap when you're on your jollybobs.

Old spice and Brut I have in the collection and have used them since I was about 17. I have always suffered from bad spots/acne, bad diet likeley had a lot to do with it but am currently treating my face with a specialist face wash and benzoyl peroxide so skins a bit sensitive at the minute hence why I probably get such a burn.
But I do love a burn.

lost 24lbs since 1st Jan, and loving the food so much it doesn't even feel like I'm on a diet.
 
Good to hear another thumbs up on the green proraso. I have the sandalwood and although the performance is top notch, I don;t really get on with the fragrance; it's kinda nice but not one I'll buy again. Green will be my next choice I think :) Also, well done on the weight loss - keep it up!
 
Bought a bottle on the back of this thread and found the same proraso performance to be top notch; fragrance, after the menthol hit, is very...green. It honestly is the best way to describe it, grass clippings as well as other greenery thrown in. It's fresh as a daisy lol
