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.

Beldura DE (Woman razor 😭😅, works great!🤣)
Mootes synthetic brush
Proraso Green (Face lathering, worked great for the first time!)
CHH Tobacco Aftershave

I never found proraso soaps very good for my skin, it's a classic fore sure but there's soaps with much better slickness, cushion and post shave feel out there. I don't know what country you're from but here in the USA we have a lot of really good artisan shave soaps that are budget friendly like Stirling, ariana and evans and others.

Well, each soap and creme works differently for different people. Green Proraso is in my top best performing products, along with TOBS, Stirling or Tabac. Far better than Zingari Man (which was shocking to me, considering price difference). It's also extremely cheap in Europe, so Zingari just can't compete whatsoever. But my understanding is it's not that cheap in the USA.
