Pre/Post Shave

[Infotech]

I use Proraso Pre/Post. Yesterday evening I thought I was finished shaving and decided to use it as a Post shave which I don't usually do. I decided to use more than normal because there was some burning in a couple of areas. As I was putting it on my wet face, I noticed how slick it was compared to when I used it as a Pre shave treatment. Maybe this was because I used so much, or because of the slick residue left over from the lather. I decided to do another touch up and had one of the greatest final touch ups of my DE shaving career.

I've always read that a little goes a long way but the more I use the better it seems to be. Last night I bet I used about a half dollars worth.

If you use one, how much Pre/Post do you use?

[jbcohen]

Post only and about the size of a dime.

I have only used it as a Pre-Shave and in a nickel size amount.

I only used it as a post one time and didn't care for it. Found it to be a bit too "goopy" for my tastes. As a pre shave it isn't bad but I just can't do the Proraso funky smell anymore. I got rid of all mine.

When I used the Proraso Pre Shave product, I would typically take about a pea-sized portion.....but I always found it to dry my face out as a preshave. Maybe I didn't use enough :confused:

I do like the Crema 3P, and typically use a more significant amount of it. The mineral oil in it really makes your skin slick.

I started out using a pea size portion also. While it didn't dry my face out, it was nothing like using a healthy quarter size + amount. Likewise, I found it lacking as a post shave until I started using more.

Thanks man, for the idea.

I'll give it a whirl tomorrow AM :D

The smell of Crema 3P is awful!!! :eek:

Smells like school paste, only worse. Far worse!

:rofl Oh man, I think it smells great.

How's it working for you otherwise?

ehhh......still prefer TJ's pre-shave oil.

I definetly won't be buying any Crema 3P.

Liar, send it too me so I can run "tests"

[Padron]

Pre only for me, about nickel size glob, works good before the shave for me...tried it once for Post, didn't care for the film it left on my skin :confused::confused: Does it gunk up your brushes?

never heard of / tried crema 3P:confused:

Works for me. I'll mail it tomorrow.

Don't know how many tests you'll get out of it though. It was a sample I got from Joe, in a trade.

Thanks Joe...Sorry I missed that one, read most of the others :D Sounds like good stuff...

Hey bro, I used today what would amount to about 5-7x the amount I used before (probably close to a quarter amount).

Results:

1) My face was ice cold :cool::cool::cool:

2) My whiskarz melted away ::

3) Schmude Shave :D

I'm gonna keep this glass jar on the counter for a while and use it like this.......and if my shaves continue like they did today I'll be changing my review on it.

I have always wanted to like the Proraso Pre - I truly enjoy the scent and the menthol :drool

Glad to see you had good results.

As if on cue, my face is feeling a little dry this morning even after using Em's ASB and Lucky Tiger. I've never had a problem with dry skin before. I've been using the Proraso in large quantities for about 8-10 shaves. Before then I was using it but not quite so much. The only other change is Lucky Tiger... I dunno looks like I'm going to have to experiment some more. I think I'll cut out the Lucky Tiger first.

This morning was one of my best shaves yet so I don't want the Prorarso to be the problem. I don't think it is at this point since I have been using it for the better part of two months.

I use the Proraso Pre/Post at the beginning of every shave. Works wonderfully for me.

It was so much easier to score when Target stocked it. I have the tub I'm using now, and one more backup tub, then I guess I'll have to start the online search once I run out. :mad::mad:

Somewhere between a nickel-sized and quarter-sized dollop per application.

Gio has the 500ml in stock? OMGROXXXXXXXXXXX we SOOOO need a "woot" emoticon.

[Smedley]

Only pre.

I keep rubbing and adding in until my nostril hairs tickle, then I stop. So, about five bits worth. :D
