Tools of Men was founded in 2015 with the mission of helping men improve upon both their daily grooming and style habits. The inception of the site itself grew from the frustration to find detailed and real information online that is trusted and unbiased. That's why we never accept paid reviews.

Heyo - any other pre shave creams/oils you might be curious about?

[fartzerelli]

Bro you need to work that lather more by adding WAY more water, it really EXPLODES and becomes far slicker and more comfortable that way.

I’ve been trying the Proraso sensitive skin pre-shave and it really makes a difference. I am rather new to double-edge razor shaving, so don’t have much skill yet, but before Proraso my shaving results would sometimes look like a botched suicide. Only one nick during the last 5 or so times I used the pre-shave. I would definitely recommend this to newbies. I still want to experiment if it makes any difference if I keep the pre-shave on for longer before applying shaving cream.

To improve the result for minute 10:00 area, go one pass cross grain at that area and reduce the cutting angle to the point when the cutting edge just starts cutting.

So the Refresh Pre-Shave Cream Eucalyptus & Menthol Only has to stay on your face for roughly 1min before applying the shaving cream? Thanks

[deuces]

I just used it too and you're right about the product. It is good. Absolutely no irritation whatsoever. Face feels nice. And no, alcohol does not make your skin age faster.
Cheers.

The pasty lather doesn't do the C.O. Bigelow justice. It is a much better product when used with more water. Not to be critical, but your shave looked very uncomfortable to me and that sticky lather is what is causing your nicks.

[stevenroche]

You need to make a lather in a shaving bowl. Use about a one inch dollop of shaving cream and mix it up with a brush adding small amounts of hot water until the lather is rich and plenty for a three pass BBS shave.

I know it's an "old" video now, but just in case, I highly recommend you change your "Shark" blades to "Personna" (lab blue ones) or "Feather".

Proraso preshave vs noxzema as a preshave

[jmr]

Proraso needs to make an unscented version of it.... like, literaly NON-scented. The fragrance can clash with other frag's in your soaps.

If they did this, it would probably be a regular, for every shave.

[michaelbrohl]

It's not a pre shave balm it's a pre shave cream. And yes, there is a difference. Proraso does sell an after shave balm.

[tedolphbundler]

You don't need any pre shave B.S. Just use a hard puck shave soap. Bloom the puck while you are in the shower, and use the bloom water as the pre-shave and to wet your beard. It is really amazing how much you do not know about shaving. Also, you don't know how to build a lather. You don't use anywhere near enough water.

Love Proraso but its a useless product. If you use the eucalypthus pre shave and then the regular green shave cream its for me an ice cold feeling. It feels very unpleasant. It should be the other way, a warming effect.

You forgot the horseshoe around the back of your head buddy !! May has well make your whole head nice and smooth !
