Hey Sezer,No offence to you Nico, but I have to ask you; do you think you found the correct angle while using your DE? there is a learning curve with DE, SR and SE shaving. I've heard people getting irritation from TOBS creams but never heard proraso giving irritation, so can it be your technique? I would suggest Proraso to any wet shaver whether he is a beginner or not due to it's perfect lather which is easy to produce.
Perhaps you should try some unscented creams for sensitive skin, Arko extra sensitive shaving cream would be a cheap option to try.
White Proraso is another option, so yes you can try that. I think you will have to find out what your skin is reacting/sensitive to. There are few things, for example: Usually essential oils or fragrance oils in soaps and creams are the main cause for skin irritations(hence the sensitive skin creams are unscented), I heard that some people are allergic to certain ingredients in creams/soaps like Lanolin etc.. so by the looks of it you will have to find out by trying. I don't have a sensitive skin so all my soaps and creams are normal type. Stay away from Tobs Jermyn Street cream(Black tub), it is supposed to be for sensitive skin but even my skin reacted to that.Hey Sezer,
No worries at all. I believe I do as I have absolutely no burn using the DE razor with the Gillette gel.
With the proraso it is muuuuuch better than with the TOBS for sure, but it is the results is not as good as with the gel.
By the way, I am using the green Proraso, do you think I should give a try to the white one (Sensitive skin)
I have immensely dry and sensitive skin which can only handle 2 passes, with stubble so tough... a 37c slant with feather blade always tugged on my chin and upper lip. Proraso White is my #1 favourite because of it's scent and price, i find Tobs creams typically offer more slickness and a slightly closer shave.
Proraso White and EJ Sandalwood are the only ASB's that work for me in terms of prolonged moisture retention, and have to apply an overly-generous amount for sufficient effectiveness. Castle Forbes Lavender ASB is next on my list for pairing with Tob's Lavender cream.
