Proraso After Shave Balm - Sensitive

A really nice product and the brand that I always use. Soothing to apply. No stings. Absorbs well and a gentle fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm. Lasts for ages and when the price falls to around a tenner then it’s cracking value for money.

After years of wet shaving, I felt that it was becoming a chore, As I have got older my beard has become more difficult to deal with. I reviewed how I was doing it, I threw the disposable razors and the areosol shaving gel away and bought an old fashioned safety razor, a quality shaving brush and some Ingram shaving cream. I now look forward to shaving and afterwards my skin looks and feels so much better. I always used to use Nivea after shave balm when I shaved the using disposable blades which was OK, very good in fact, but I started to develop an allergy to it. I have tried several others and indeed a Tesco's own brand product was very good and similar to Proaso, but they discontinued it. This Proaso seems to be an Italian product and I was told about it by a work colleague, I have been using it for a while now, I'm on my second bottle. It is more expensive but a little goes a long way. It does the job and leaves a pleasant residual smell that people seem to like. There is no greasiness and it is absorbed quickly. I am allergic to many things but so far so good with this stuff. I hope I can get a continued supply.

Very good product for sensitive skin, used to use similar products from a well known brand beginning with N, and while it is more expensive, you get what you pay for.

Very mild lotion and smells nice.

Amazing balm

Due to sensitive skin issues, I've ditched the "5 bladed " razor and gone back to the beginning, with a safety razor. Thought id switch up to a better balm also, works great. Took a few shaves before I started seeing the difference, but my skin feels and looks better after shaving now and nice scent also + no more red blotches or sureness.

Normal

Think I've already reviewed this product? - this is the second time round of this white / silver label, 'sensitive' skin formula. I don't like the glass bottle as I travel quite a bit, but the product really is 'top drawer kit' It leaves the skin smooth and cools & cancels out any razor burn. It has a very mild / negligible after scent, so I find it my absolute 'go to' daily product. It has NO after sting when applied! (Really like my Taylors of Old Bond Street Sandal Wood scented after shave gel too, but more for evening use, for me any way... see my other reviews - I think lol...) In summary - I have been DE shaving for about a year & a half or more now (in my 45th year of life) - can't believe Dad or Granddad never informed me on the best way to shave! - my two young lads will get briefed when commeth the day! - In my opinion you cannot go wrong with Proraso and Merkur Razor products, it really is job done!
