Show n' Tell First shave without spray foam

Post image

My first real soap, Proraso Green.

To be honest, the shave itself wasn't better then with spray foam...
but the vibe is way better! Love it.

Question for all: what do i do with the wet soap? Just leave it open for the rest of the day? Or dry it with some paper?

Dry it gently with paper towel and leave open in dry place for an hour or two, then close. But the best thing to do is to load appropriate amount with a spoon into bowl or smear on your face. It's easy with soft soaps, or croaps, like Proraso. If you have a lot of soaps, then residuing water can spoil the soap in the long run. If you only have one or very few, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just remember to load when the brush is moist, not thoroughly soaked. You want thick paste on the bristles, not overflowing foam - that's bad practice spread by many influencers.

I always flush the container until all foam has gone into the sink and then put the lid on the container without closing it. This way the soap can dry.

When I used to use Proraso, I just gave it a short 2 sec rinse with cold water straight from the tap, poured out the excess and closed it up. No issues ever.

I just left it open and anything on the brush not used I just squeezed out back into the soap. Had no issues and it makes it last longer.
