Proraso Shaving Soap in a Bowl, Green, 150 ml

I’ve used the Proraso Shaving Soap in a Bowl several times now, and it has become one of my favourite shaving products. The scent is fresh and classic without being overpowering, and it gives a really clean, traditional shaving experience. The soap builds a rich, creamy lather very easily with a brush, and it provides excellent glide and protection during shaving. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and comfortable afterwards, with very little irritation even when used regularly. I also like the bowl format, which is convenient and easy to use, and the soap seems to last well, so it offers good value for money. A little goes a long way, and the quality has been consistent every time I’ve bought it. Overall, this is a reliable shaving soap with a great lather, a pleasant scent, and excellent performance. I’d happily recommend it and will definitely keep buying it.

Great value and a joy to use. (Unlike that Ingram stuff I bought; it used to be SO good)

In my opinion this shaving soap has a nice fresh menthol scent to it. I found it incredibly easy to load using a boar hair shaving brush due to the fact that it is a cross between a shaving soap and a shaving cream. It is so soft you can push your finger through it. On the first pass my initial reaction was that the menthol scent was there but, I couldn’t feel the cooling sensation you would expect. However after removing a layer of hair and re-lathering for my second pass the cooling sensation was very strong and quite enjoyable. On my third pass it was like ice. After three passes with my straight razor, the Proraso green provided great cushion, slickness, scent and cooling sensation for my shave. The post shave feeling left my face feeling fresh and protected. I used post shave balm just in case as I have sensitive skin but, this is in no way criticizing the post shave feel of the soap it was just me being cautious. The ingredients in this soap did not irritate my skin after the shave however, if you are not willing to risk it I know they do a white version specifically for sensitive skin. I do recommend you try this as it is a great soap and it did not have an effect on my sensitive skin. I have taken a picture of the ingredient list in an attempt to answer some of your sensitive skin questions. I tested this soap with both hard and soft water. It liked the soft water a lot more than the hard however it was excellent with both. I tried shaving with a shavette, straight razor and double edged razor. It felt protecting and slick with both. This soap has impressed me and I will be purchasing a Proraso red (sandalwood) soap next to give that a try. The soaps I have used in the past are Arko shave stick, Palmolive cream and shave stick and the Wilkinson Sword blue tub (let's never speak of this one again). It provided a similar lather to the Arko maybe a little bit slicker and it definitely smelled better. The slickness was similar to the Palmolive shaving cream and the cushion was similar to the Palmolive shave stick. I’m not sure if these comparisons mean anything to you but it never hurts to share experience with fellow wet shavers regardless.

Good shaving soap: harder than some other soaps so requires a bit more lathering in the bowl but creates excellent creamy foam that helps deliver smooth, slick shave. Isn’t wearing down quickly (per previous point) so looks a good buy given it is markedly cheaper than other soaps that are no better IMO.

Like many items available through Amazon, I'd always advise people to add things to wish lists and keep an eye on the price. Couldn't resist this at £2.70 for 150ml tub, and very pleased I ordered when I did. The soap itself is excellent in my opinion, and well worth trialling if you are considering. Having limited experience of shaving soaps, I can only compare to a Wilkinson sword tub, and an Arko stick. It is certainly the softest soap of the 3, but don't think of it as like a cream. It lathers really well, and the smoothness of the shave matches or even surpasses the Arko. The scent whilst shaving is very fresh and invigorating, but don't underestimate the "cooling" sensation, some may actually find it a little too much. During shaving it does seem to possibly need a little more water adding when soaping further passes, and it does seems to leave a stickier film on blade during shaving. However my skin does feel really good after using this Proraso. In conclusion I'd say at £2.70 for 150gm this was a huge bargain. On balance it's probably the best shaving soap I've tried yet, and "invigourating" adds to the shaving experience. .....so 10/10. Arko bowls actually look to cost more than this does at normal £4-£5 price, so this Proraso wins there too, but a 75g Arko stick can cost as little as £1, is more environmentally friendly when used up.......so 9.5/10 It's close but this wins.

Great lather and scent.

Excellent shaving soap leaving skin very soft and refreshed.

If you’re getting into propper wet shaving you will be hard pressed to find better products than proraso at this price. Tried a few, always gone back to this. Fresh and cooling, good lather. Little effort.

香り良し、泡立ち良し。メントールの香りだとしつこいかなと思いましたが、上品な香りで、ほどよくメントールが効いていて、毎日のシェービングが楽しみになりました。

I initially did not like this product as i was used to the soft, creamy texture of the Taylor Of Old Bond Street shaving creams which i have used exclusively for some time. This product looks very "dried out" when you open it up in comparison to the TOBS products and initially i though that i had a faulty product. Not so! That's the way it's meant to be! However, once you follow the instructions and use it correctly you will find that it's absolutely awesome! The scent is great with a nice strong hint of a menthol. The scent is not too overpowering but not so subtle that you can't smell it once you have finished shaving. In my opinion it's the perfect balance. The lather is awesome; as good as, if not slightly better than the lather from the TOBS that i am used to. Once you have "bloomed" the cream and then applied a little to the brush it whips up into the most awesome thick rich creamy lather in seconds. Once on the face the razor glides thru the richness of the lather with ease as it has a really nice slickness. No wonder it has been Italy's favorite shaving cream for generations. While i still love the softer, creamier TOBS shaving cream products i will be adding this one into the rotation along with the rest of my regular TOBS shave creams as it's just too nice to not use. Now it's got me wanting to try all the other Proraso versions! Buy with confidence. Its awesome!!

Ich bin vor Kurzem vom Dosenschaum auf Rasiercremes und -seifen umgestiegen, da ich in letzter Zeit sehr unzufrieden mit der Konsistenz diverser "Fertigprodukte" war. Irgendwie wurde der Dosenschaum immer dünnflüssiger und die ohnehin kaum vorhandenen Gleiteigenschaften wurden weiterhin verschlechtert, dafür tropfte während der Rasur eine nicht unerhebliche durch Wasser verdünnte Menge von dem Zeug auf den Fußboden. Da ich ohnehin im Begriff war, vom Systemrasierer Gillette Fusion mit seinen völlig überteuerten Klingen auf einen klassischen Hobel umzusteigen kaufte ich kurzerhand einen Pinsel und auf Empfehlung diverser Leute in Rasurforen sowie Rezensenten hier bei Amazon die Proraso Rasierseife im 150ml-Tiegel. Das Produkt wird in einem Plastiktiegel geliefert, welcher auch zum Aufschäumen benutzt werden kann. Ich allerdings nehme zunächst eine bestimmte Menge dieser Seife mit dem angefeuchteten Pinsel auf und verrühre sie in einer separaten Schüssel zu einem cremigen Schaum. Dieser lässt sich wunderbar im Gesicht auftragen. Den mentholigen Duft empfinde ich als angenehm, auch tritt durch die ätherischen Öle eine gewisse Kühlwirkung ein, die ich allerdings als nicht so extrem empfinde wie manch anderer Rezensent hier. Die Seife lasse ich ca. 3 Minuten einwirken ehe dann der Rasierhobel an die Haut gesetzt wird. Die Rasur lässt sich wirklich sehr angenehm bewerkstelligen, da die Proraso eine hervorragende Gleitwirkung (im Gegensatz zum Dosenschaum) erzielt. Die Klinge gleitet sauber über die Haut, man kann das typische Rasurgeräusch beim Schneiden der Haare vernehmen. Hautirritationen im Form von Rötungen, Spannungen oder gar Rasurbrand habe ich bislang nicht gehabt! Auch ist die Konsistenz des Schaumes fest genug um eben NICHT während der Rasur auf den Fußboden zu tröpfeln, vorausgesetzt man verwendet beim Schlagen des Schaums nicht zu viel Wasser. Ein weiterer positiver Aspekt ist die Nachhaltigkeit der Rasur: im Gegensatz zum Dosenschaum sind Rasierseifen und -cremes alkalisch. Somit quellen sie durch die Einwirkzeit die Haut auf und erweichen das Barthaar, welches weiter aus den Poren geschoben und somit wesentlich tiefer abgeschnitten wird. Nach der Rasur reinige ich das Gesicht zunächst noch einmal mit warmen Wasser und zu guter Letzt wasche ich mit kaltem Wasser nach, um die Poren zu schließen. Eventuelle kleine Blutungen werden hierdurch gestoppt. Zuletzt noch ein After Shave aufgelegt, starte ich in den Tag. Ich bin mit dem Proraso-Produkt sehr zufrieden, mag den Duft, die kühlende Wirkung und die tolle Gleitfähigkeit der Klinge durch den cremigen Schaum. Leider gibt es Proraso-Produkte im stationären Einzelhandel SELTENST zu kaufen, so dass man sie über das Internet beziehen muss. Da mir diese Rasierseife gut gefällt werde ich mit Sicherheit auch mal die anderen Duftrichtungen (weißer bzw. roter Tiegel) testen. Aber gerade jetzt in den Sommermonaten finde ich die leicht kühlende Wirkung des Produkts sehr angenehm und erfrischend. Da ich die Seife erst bekommen und noch keine weiteren Erfahrungswerte habe bin ich mal gespannt, wie lange ich mit diesem Tiegel auskomme. Es heißt ja, sie sei sehr ergiebig.

Ce savon à raser Proraso est très rafraîchissant, il contient peut-être de la menthe. Il produit une belle mousse et son utilisation est assez satisfaisante.

Really good. Able to generate good amount of lather with my new Trigadon shaving brush 👌. Best shaving soap till date.
