I had no idea what I was missing until I started using Proraso Pre-Shave Conditioning Cream—now, I can’t imagine shaving without it! Applying this before my Proraso shaving soap has completely transformed my routine, giving me closer, smoother, and cleaner shaves than ever before.The formula is refreshing and invigorating, prepping my skin and softening my beard perfectly. The cooling sensation feels amazing, and it helps the razor glide effortlessly, reducing irritation and leaving my skin feeling fantastic afterward.If you’re on the fence about trying a pre-shave cream, do yourself a favor and get this! It’s a simple step that makes a huge difference, and I’ll never go back to shaving without it.

This product is amazing! I have very dry and sensitive skin, and after each shave, I used to experience itchy skin. Because of this dryness, I often had small bleeding spots on my face. However, this product, along with their shaving soap, has made shaving much easier. My face stays moisturized for a while after each shave, and I don't need to change my shaving blade as often.

I used Proraso products, i.e., shaving cream, soap, brush, and aftershave, for many years. I have been shaving for nearly 60 years and am very satisfied with my morning shave routine, which is a hot wash cloth, a facial soap, lather, and a double edge razor. I felt no need to use the pre-shave cream, but I finally decided to give it a try. After washing my face, I rubbed in the pre-shave cream. I am very pleasantly surprised. My blade glides over my skin. The Pre-shave definitely helps with shaving some of those hard to reach pockets under your chin and above your throat. The Proraso Pre-shave cream is now a permanent addition to my shaving routine.

The fragrance might be too strong for some but I like it. It is great as a pre-shave and as a post-shave making shaving effective and comfortable.

I recently made the decision to leave behind this "new" way to shave with Edge gel and Mach 3's (Fusions actually were not as good for me) partially due to the price of the blades, but a large part of me is wanting to do things the "old" way. Regarding the price of fancy blades I'm doing something that seems to be faux pas now and exercising my choice as a consumer in a "free market" and telling Gillette to "get bent." I'm not buying their $2.00 blades anymore (Costco price). I'm trying both a double edge safety razor and a straight edge. Well, after the first shave with some shaving soap I thought would be great, it wasn't fun. Came to the conclusion that shaving soaps may not be the way to go. I live in an arid environment; very dry here. My water is extremely hard and I don't use a softener. And my beard is genetic from my Syrian heritage (very dense). So, ordered up some Proraso Pre-Shave Cream and some of their Shave Cream in a tube. After the first use I've decided that these products are what I should be using now. My only gripe about this product (4 stars, not 5) is the amount for the price. It's a pretty small jar. However, I think you can use it sparingly and get the right effect.I apply this to my beard and spread it around evenly. About a two lightly coated fingertips seems to be enough. I then use the time it needs to soak in and soften the beard to whip up my lather, which takes about 2 minutes. The Proraso shave cream goes a long ways too, about the size of an almond is all it takes to get enough lather for a 3 pass shave if needed. The cooling sensation from the menthol is nice and makes the shave go easier for me.I did use this for some post shave as well. It helped, but not sure it's the effect I'm going for. I think I'd like to try some other stuff as well so I just ordered another Proraso aftershave product to try out.Part of me misses the speediness that I could shave with Edge Gel and Mach 3, but I'm enjoying this new ritual of doing things the old fashioned way and saving money on blades. In my current job I need to shave more often. At the very least every other day. In my previous job I shaved whenever I wanted, which was 4 to 6 days of growth usually.I say try this product out, and the others by this company as well. I think you'll like them. I'll definitely be re-ordering. Definitely since the seller is fulfilling through Amazon so I can use my Prime membership to get them quick.

Very slick. Nice protection. Must use before every shave.

The media could not be loaded. Let me first put this out there. I hate pre-shave oil. I've only used high quality pre-shave gel from Fred's or Phoenix Shaving. First time using a cream and I absolutely love it. Very smooth and cooling shave. Reminds me of Noxema. A little went a long way. No irritation whatsoever using a razor blade that had already been used 5 times prior.

IAong life's path it was my good fortune to have two Italian barbers from "the old country". Whether for a shave/ facial or just a trim, you will recall the mentholated cream they rub on before the shave cream. Not merely pleasing to the olfactory, the shave is closer with far fewer "dings". A tiny investment for an improvement that gets each day off to a better start.
