Proraso Shaving Soap

Proraso, a Brand Steeped in Italian Tradition Founded in 1908 by Ludovico Martelli, Proraso has been innovating professional, highest-quality products in the shaving world for generations, evolving to become a staple of Italian culture. From the first Pre-Shave cream in 1948 to the present day, the Martelli family's principles have held true: to create professional, quality products that deliver a pleasurable and impeccable shave, in the barbershop and at home.

Proraso Shaving Soap: Moisturizing and Nourishing To use Proraso Shaving Soap, first soak your Proraso brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for a few minutes before shaving. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash your face with warm water) to prep your skin, then apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream. Apply another hot towel to your face for a few seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, leaving the brush mostly wet. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the bristles well. Spread the lather on your beard and proceed with shaving. Close the lid after use to keep the soap from drying out (though, even if it does dry out, it will not lose its efficacy or beneficial properties when reused). Shave and rinse your 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? No Problem If you're short on time, simply apply your favorite Proraso Pre-Shave Cream to your damp face (for optimal results). To build up a rich lather, run your shaving brush under hot water for about 30 seconds, if you don't have time to soak it. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the bristles well. Spread the lather on your beard, shave, and rinse, following with your favorite Proraso After Shave Balm or Lotion. Close the lid after use to keep the soap from drying out.

Proraso: Barber's Choice Since 1948 Proraso's shaving soap is free from parabens, silicones, mineral oil, SLS, artificial colors, and ingredients of animal origin. Over 95% natural, and made in Italy, Proraso offers the ultimate shaving experience.
