Does using Pre-Shave Cream really make a noticeable difference?

Customers report an extra layer of protection, a smoother razor glide, less tugging and a more comfortable shave. Particularly those with coarse facial hair, or frequent razor irritation when making multiple passes with a safety or straight razor.

How much Pre-Shave Cream should I use? When and how do I apply it?

Use an almond-sized amount and massage a thin layer onto your face (dry or after a hot towel) in gentle circular motions. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to soften the beard, then apply your shaving cream or soap directly on top and shave as usual.

How long should I let the cream sit on my skin before applying my shave soap or foam?

Let it work its magic for 30 to 60 seconds. This gives the menthol, eucalyptus, and stearic acid time to soften the beard hair before lathering over top.

What does the Refreshing formula feel like? Is the "tingle" too intense for sensitive skin?

Delivers a crisp cooling sensation with signature eucalyptus-and-menthol scent. Most users find the cooling effect invigorating rather than intense. If sensitive to menthol try Proraso's Sensitive Skin (White) formula for a gentler experience.

Can I use Pre-Shave Cream with any shave cream or razor, and does it replace my shaving cream?

Use as a prep step, not a replacement for your shaving cream or soap. Think of it as an extra shield of protection between your skin and the blade. Helps reduce friction for a smoother, more comfortable shave.
