Great Pre-Shave Beard Softener
I’ve used Proraso Red (Barbes Dures) Pre/Post Shave Cream for several years now. Red in the product description shows it’s for coarse beards. (Proraso also make blue, white, and green creams to suit other different skin / beard types.)
I don’t necessarily have too coarse a beard but being in my 70s I only tend to shave once a week for the sake of my, now very thin, skin. This is why I use this cream as a pre shave beard treatment – it softens my heavy stubble beautifully prior to shaving.
So, this product ticks all the boxes for me – good clean shave, no irritation, pleasant aroma, competitively priced, and economical to use. Which is why I’ll continue to use it!Read full review

Light, covering and easy to work with
This is a product that fits me rather well. I have rough stubble but also some areas with extra sensitive skin so I benefit from a thorough massage of the skin with a pre shaving cream. I also make sure to follow it up with a hot towel to really help the cream do its work.
The cream is slick enough to be easy to work with but, when using it on my skin, it leaves an almost dry layer of product on my fingers and seems to have lost all of its silky feel.
I would not be surprised if this is a result of the combination of my skin type and hand dryness but it takes away that last bit that would have made it easy to rate it five stars.Read full review

A good shave
I have used pre shave oils before. But I have changed to Proraso. As I think it makes my single blade razor. Glide I've my face better. Especially when I have not shed for a few days. It is a good product and worth the money I pade for it. It can also be used as an after shave balm tooRead full review

The best men's pre and post shave cream!
Proraso is truly a God-sent! It has vastly improved my very sensitive skin and made wet shaving much less painful. I would recommend this cream to both newcomer as well as experience wet sharvers.

Good preshave cream.
I normally use the green (menthol and eucalyptus) preshave cream but thought I'd give this a try. Really nice scent.
You don't need to use a great deal, rub a small amount (about two pea sized scoops) onto damp hands until it's spread evenly over your hands and then work onto your face. I leave it soften my stubble while I'm lathering up the shaving cream.
I will be buying more when this jar is used up. Read full review

Top choice
It smells amazing and it delivers. Proraso is the top of the line hands down. All the artisans today may do a great job with scents and ease of lather l, but if you master using Proraso's products, you won't go back.Read full review

Wow
This is one of those products that promises miraculous results, then delivers....
No More razor burn. I haven't used it as a post shave balm as I don't tend to bother so cannot really comment about it's balm properties.Read full review

Does make a difference
Pre shave products are a debatable necessity in the wet shave world. I personally find it does make a positive difference to my daily shaves. Used pre shave oils before and have to say this is far superior.
Does not leave any oily residue and combined with the same scent proraso shaving soap creates the perfect conditions for a effective shave. Love the scent as it is not overpowering. I would buy again and obviously would recommend wet shavers to give it a try.Read full review
