From the manufacturer


The Proraso Brand Story:

Founded in 1908 by Ludovico Martelli, Proraso has been innovating professional highest-quality products in the shaving world for generations, and has evolved to become a staple of Italian culture. From the first Pre-Shave cream in 1948, to now, the Martelli family principles hold true: to create professional, quality products that deliver a pleasurable and impeccable shave, in the barbershop and at home.

Proraso Shaving Cream, Protective and Moisturizing

Proraso Shaving Cream, Protective and Moisturizing formula, comforts your skin with extra-soothing and softening ingredients. The Vitamin E protects and nourishes dry, rough skin while the aloe vera provides extra hydration that softens and soothes.

The traditional vegetable stearin-based formula is enriched with nourishing botanical extracts and natural oils to protect the skin before, during and after shaving, and helps the blade glide smoothly, reducing razor burn and rashes.

Proraso Shaving Cream is still made today in accordance with a rigorous 'hot soap'-making process, which results in an ultra-rich soap that, especially with the aid of a brush, produces an incomparably thick, creamy, soft lather. It makes for a close and comfortable shave, while protecting the skin and leaving it soft and hydrated.

How to use:

Soak your Proraso brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for 5 – 10 minutes before your shave. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash face with warm water) to open the pores and prep your face for shaving. Once done, apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream. Apply another hot towel, holding it to your face for 15 to 20 seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, still leaving the brush mostly wet. Squeeze about 2cm of your choice of Proraso Shave Cream between the bristles of the brush and massage into your stubble or scruff using circular motion. Dip the tip of your brush back into your hot water and continue working the brush into your facial hair. After a couple minutes of 'working' the brush in your facial hair, the shaving cream turns into a creamy and compact lather that will soften all beard types, making shaving a pleasant daily ritual. Shave and rinse face thoroughly. For an optimal experience, finish with another application of your warm, damp towel, followed by your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion

Short on time? Apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream to your damp face, for optimal results. If using a shaving brush, run it under hot running water for about 30 seconds (if you don't have time to soak it). Squeeze about 2 centimeter of the Shaving Cream onto your brush, dampen face with warm water, and work the brush into your scruff/stubble. You should be able to achieve an excellent lather in about a minute.

If using your hands, work cream and water together between the palm of your hands until suds begin to form. Apply mixture into your stubble using your fingers, massaging in circular movements until a lather forms. This method also works well if you’re shaving in the shower. Shave and rinse, following with your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion.

10 Tips for the Perfect Shave

Morning is the best time to shave

Your skin is at it's softest and most relaxed just after you wake up, so the razor glides easier.

Always use a Proraso Pre-Shave Cream

It softens and straightens the hairs, making it easier to apply the shaving cream to your beard and pre-conditions the skin.

Wrap your face in a warm, wet towel

Just like traditional barbers do. Otherwise, shave after your morning shower when the skin is soft and hydrated from the warm water.

The best lather comes from a brush and shaving cream or soap

Applying shaving cream or soap with a brush increases the volume of your beard hair and allows for a closer shave. To build up a rich lather, wet your shaving brush and apply the cream in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well.

While shaving, use a delicate, but firm stroke

Don't put too much pressure on the razor and follow the lines of your face, always keeping the skin pulled tight.

Keep your razor clean

Rinse the blade with hot water at least once every two swipes of the razor. Residue from past shaves can reduce the blades' effectiveness and increase the risk of damaging your skin. Also, remember to change your razor often.

For the perfect shave, one pass just doesn't cut it

Lather your face a second time and repeat the shave.

Don't neglect your post-shave routine

Rinse your face well and repeatedly to remove any residue.

Always use Proraso After Shave Balm

Even if you've shaved to perfection, your skin may still feel stressed and will need to be disinfected, restored and softened

Take care of your skin

Especially if you don't shave every day, or have problems with ingrown hair, apply a face cream daily.
