Hi from Italy, guys! Just to remember that Proraso shaving creams / soaps are definitely NOT expensive (if you buy them in our Country). I chose traditional wet shaving 7 years ago, my skin is thanking me now! My go to is astra green blade, Fatip Gentile as DE razor, and i have fun choosing a different soap or cream and AS at the end of the shave! Stay traditional when shaving, folks! Cheers

I second this statement about Proraso! At least in Italy, the brand's products don't cost much, but are made well. The brand has brushes, shaving creams, foams, and soaps, as well as pre and post shave products. I use their brush, shaving soap, and pre-shave, and they work wonderfully.

I've several Taylor of Old Bond Street creams and soaps, but my go-to over the last several months has been The Art of Shaving's Bourbon line - I have their cream, pre-shave oil, and aftershave all in that scent. I'm concerned that they're no longer making it as none of these products are available on their website any longer. Agree 100% with the video - investing a little more money up front in your shaving supplies will not only pay you back in the long run (due to cost of use) but makes your shaving experience much more comfortable (and your shave closer). For the razor, I currently use a Merkur Futur adjustable safety razor with Feather blades. However, when I need to get to an area that the Merkur just can't deal with, I also have a Dovo 4/8 straight razor.

I mostly use Proraso nowadays as they are dirt cheap in Sweden but also very good. Proraso is not much more than the garbage foam-in-a-can from the supermarket, even cheaper sometimes. To pamper myself I really like Musgo Real and Taylor from old Bond street, and they are a cut above Proraso, but 3-4 times the price here. I often use Musgo Reals preshaving oil, which may be expensive but it makes a world of difference, especially when the facial hair has grown for a week.

I've been a fan of Proraso shave cream for many years now (the sandalwood is my favorite). Fun fact, the menthol and eucalyptus shave cream from C.O. Bigelow that you can find at Bath and Bodyworks is made in Italy by Proraso. It's a slightly different formula than the green Proraso (which is also menthol and eucalyptus). Apparently one is the old formula and the other is the new formula, though I forget which is which.

In Europe Proraso (I love white) is pretty cheap but works very well. Same is true for Arko, Cella or Palmolive sticks (sadly discontinued). Taylor is good, too, but on the other hand e.g. DR Harris - another heritage brand - disappoints. However, the list of doubtful ingredients is not short on any of these products, either. Haslinger from Austria is worth a try (e. g. sheeps milk).

Very interesting. I have been using proraso for while and now I know why I like it that much. Would also like to know more about shaving technique for sensitive skin. Thanks

Picked up a Proraso "Nourishing" Shaving Cream with a sandalwood scent and a Maggard synthetic brush after this video - I pair this with Astra blades and a Merkur 23c safety razor.

Proraso is only expensive when it's exported. It's a pretty ordinary tier product in Italy, maybe a shade above Gilette but something which every drugstore or supermarket sells.

I really like Arko shave soap. Tallow base and very good value. Cella is in same wheel house and for most the smell is more pleasant.

I've been doing okay with Cremo in the tube. I have a lot of it from a Costco buy back during my cartridge days. It seems to be okay with the DESR, but maybe after the supply runs out will try something a little fattier.

Very interesting so far!

I shave in the shower with a high-end Norelco electric shaver, prepped with Col Conk Pre-Shave Oil and Edwin Jagger Premium Shaving Cream w/Aloe Vera; followed by MÜHLE Organic Aftershave Balm.

Where I live (New Jersey 10 miles from NYC) Proraso costs $10 for a 5.2 oz (150ml) tube. A tube typically lasts me 3 months. Calculated on a cost per shave it's the same, or cheaper, than the low quality aerosol foam cans from the supermarket.

@haydenwayne637

Where I live in Germany I can buy simple traditional Italian shaving soaps (Cella, 3P, TFS) for 15 to 20€ per KG. That is far cheaper than Proraso and better quality too with fewer or no added chemicals. I kilo can last you anywhere from 1 to 3 years depending upon how you lather up. Can't get much cheaper than that.

I have tried dozens of different high end boutique brand shaving soaps and I always end up back with Proraso. For my face its the best on the market. I prefer the Blue and Green with Gillette Silver Blue blades.

As a Portuguese following the channel for a long time, it is a delight to see Musgo Real by Claus Porto being featured!

I like using Taylor of Old Bond Street, Phoenix Shaving, and Proraso soaps.

My favorite shaving shaving cream is Aveeno Shave Gel. It’s quite cheap and it actually provides a lot more protection from nicks than the proraso shave soap that I’ve tried.

I use Clubman Pinaud Shave Lather. I've found it the best for reducing skin irritation and in-grown hairs. It works great with a cartridge or safety razor. Nivea shave cream is also good; I use it for travelling because it works great with a cartridge razor, it's cheap and meets CATSA/TSA guidelines.

Proraso and Taylor of Old Bond Street.

i bought the wooden shaving soap bowl like 7 years ago and am still using it, the taylor's one. Their shaving creams last like 6-8 months, especially if you only shave every 3 days cannot reccomend enough

Sandalwood shaving soap is my choice. Applying with a brush is more satisfying than rubbing a cream on my face and the soap is a lot longer lasting. I bought my last soap refill more than a year ago and still have plenty left.

Has anyone used Arko shaving soap? It’s cheap and effective!

I like to use Viking brand shaving cream. You can use it with or without a brush. They also make a shaving soap but the cream is my favorite. I really like the unscented one, but theres also peppermint and sage

Here in Italy, Proraso products are considered to be on the cheap side of the spectrum, as a green bowl of soap costs about €2,5.

Can you recommend a good shaving cream/gel for traveling? I'm going abroad soon and I want to know what product I should get for traveling.

I only use the barbasol shaving cream with or without the aerosol canister.

One of my favorite shaving creams is The Art of Shaving's Bourbon scent. Unfortunately TAOS is discontinuing that scent, as well as Oud.

True, shaving with a luxury cream can enhance the experience. If shaving every day, the key is softened water. More so than the cream itself. Using bar soap to lather up works very well with softened water for a smooth, close and comfortable shave. As well as any luxury cream with hard water. As a stiff bearded everyday shaver who opts for luxury, experience has taught the above to be true. Cheers.

My favourites are Truefit and Hill. Tabac. and Musgo Real. Blades I use Astra green and Feather.

In the winter time, my go-to is L’Occitane’s shave cream which is surprisingly great. In the summer, I use Proraso’s sensitive skin formula. I just tried George Trumper’s, and it was a solid ‘meh.’

LOL @ 14:10 "anything that ends with OL" , while showing Proraso menth-OL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I recently started using Proraso shave soap in combination with my Leaf razor for my head and face shaves. It's been a complete game changer. I'll never go back to the old shave gels and foams of past.

I prefer a shaving gel or soap than a shaving foam. Also as I suffer with dry and sensitive skin, then I will say ‘yes’ that you do a video on that.

Proraso is a good shaving cream and it's not expensive. The tube is $9 or $10. But if you're willing to pay more, the best shaving cream I've ever used is Geo F. Trumper. If you have a naturally heavy or stiff beard, the Trumper does a particularly good job of softening the whiskers.

Just noticed you mentioned primrose oil in cream, while im not sure of the topical effects vs. consumption, its worth noting that primrose oil has significant effects on estrogen production and hormones more generally.

I'd want to know what to use what I already have in the kitchen as fast replacements for pre-shave and shave compounds. E.g. can I just rub coconut oil on the face as pre-shave? Can I use glycerin-rich soap bars and lather it on the face instead of shave cream? Why or why not?

At the same time the shaves are just as close as a multi-blade, more hygienic (easy to clean and don't get clogged), no irritation etc.

I use Prosaro and safety razor, however these are impracticable for travel for the reasons of size and security respectively. In those cases I pack a small tube of Palmolive shave cream which is of reasonable quality, a travel brush, and a disposable razor or two. I have had bad experiences of travelling through security with hand luggage only. Being singled out for razor, detachable collar, and braces has been very embarrassing.

I’m in the US, and Proraso is about $11 a tube. I’ve heard it’s a lot cheaper in Europe. I like it, but I have to get it online, so it’s inconvenient. Merry Christmas to you, too!

Eaton college had the best lather

I use Klars Sport Seife for many years now. The small metal can lastet years, which makes the price per use extremely low.

My goooood, so classy!

Proraso is available for 33-48 € /L. That is not expensive. However I ask myself: is there a quality difference between Proraso and a really expensive soap as Taylor of old bond street (120 - 140 € / kg) ?
