Proraso Shaving Cream, Menthol and Eucalyptus | The Daily Shave

Ciao! Matt here with another Daily Shave in an classic Italian Shave with a vintage straight razor.

The Soap: Proraso shaving cream (green), menthol and eucalyptus. Proraso has been manufacturing shaving products since 1908 from Florence, Italy. Their green shaving cream is one of the most iconic in wetshaving. The scent is a 7/10 strength refreshing and invigorating menthol, eucalyptus, and camphor scent that evokes an Italian barbershop. The menthol is not enough to make my eyes water, but is a strong scent component and cools the face throughout the shave. Proraso represents one of the best value for performance soaps/creams. Though it is not in the same space as some of the newer elite
Artisan soaps, it performs well in many categories. The different scent offerings have different bases as well. This vegan soap is easy to lather, and has good cushion, glide, and post shave, and the lather remains stable throughout the shave (residual slickness is a bit lacking). At this price point, Proraso is king. If you love using traditional wetshaving soaps to connect to the past, Proraso green belongs in the lineup.

The Brush: Omega Professional 10049 Boar. This humble Italian boar brush brings a smile to my face every time. There is decent backbone despite the high loft, and the tips will continue to improve the more you use it. Pair with Proraso for the most traditional of Italian shaves.

The Razor: Tanifuji Spalding 6/8 full hollow vintage 1950’s razor. This Japanese steel shaves beautifully and is near mint.

Aftershave: Proraso (green) menthol and eucalyptus. Green, minty, refreshing, and cooling, the scent is similar to the soap without the camphor note. It lasts for about 3 hours on my skin and stays close to the skin. Great work scent.

Tip of the Day: Check out the video to see a foolproof face lathering routine.
