After shaving, he slathers it on, paying particular attention to his neck, where his breakouts and itching usually occur. Normally, when I'm done shaving my face looks like I had a really bad case of mumps but after the first time using Proraso my face was legit silky smooth.

Originally created as an alcohol-based antiseptic for disinfecting the little nicks and cuts you can get from shaving, traditional aftershaves tend to be very drying, and splashing it on freshly shaved skin can really burn.Has the ideal dose of "early morning" or "off to work 'ZING,'" but I don't think one should expect much more than that out of an after shave that otherwise works such magic on the skin. It also does not last long on the skin (which is kinda disappointing) however the feel you get after you slap this on is second to none. Anna Guanche, dermatologist and founder of Bella Skin Institute, the best aftershave for you depends on your particular skin type. It makes for a clean smelling office scent or for being close to your significant other without being overwhelming but that's about it.

My initial fear was that it would come off to menthol and medical smelling, due to the notes and the actual intended purpose of the product.The added shea butter in this L’Occitane shave balm is why Jaber recommends it as a moisturizing option for people with drier skin. If post-shave irritation is your gripe, you might want to seek out an aftershave with skin soothers that will help prevent and treat razor burn. He likes that the balm leaves his skin “feeling quenched” and has a “light refreshing smell” that lingers on the skin. Absolute perfection, eapecially on a hot summer day, or those warm spring and autumn mornings when the day is still young.

When I've splashed some on my chest and arms I've got about three hours out of it but I'd say 90 minutes - two hours on my face. Great fragrance, it doesn't last because it's an aftershave, but as aftershaves go it's not exactly weak, it's just that even the strongest aftershaves are only going to last a few hours tops. Depending on your skin and facial-hair type, you now have your pick of cooling gels, soothing balms, and refreshing liquids that disinfect as well as hydrate, exfoliate, and tone skin — many of which are alcohol-free and actually feel good going on. I purchased this along with the corresponding Proraso Green shaving cream in the tube to create an improved regimen of scalp and facial grooming. Naturally, it is not a perfume but an aftershave so it should not be judged as a perfume and we should not expect it to project as perfume or to have the delicate complex notes of a perfume.

It’s a favorite of both Sperling and cosmetic dermatologic surgeon Howard Sobel, since it’s alcohol free and contains skin-plumping shea butter and essential oils.

From the sleek packaging to the invigorating scents, every aspect of Proraso embodies elegance and sophistication, making it an essential part of a distinguished gentleman's grooming routine. For what it is, it's a 10/10, probably ranks as one of the best aftershaves that I have in my collection, right up there with Proraso Red which is a completely different scent that will appeal to a different audience I imagine, but they're both equally great as fragrances, again *for what they are*. Experience the time-honoured traditions of Proraso and elevate your grooming routine to new heights.Unique and unparalleled, the Pre Shave Cream prepares the skin, softens the beard and enhances the performance of the soap and of the foam.
