Some shaving creams promise the world and deliver a rash. Proraso's Sensitive Shaving Cream does the opposite: it quietly gets on with the job, protecting skin that flares at the slightest provocation.
Proraso has been a fixture of the Italian barbershop since 1948, when a small Florentine laboratory began experimenting with formulas built around natural ingredients and genuine performance. Now a fourth-generation family business, it remains the oldest and longest-running Italian shaving brand, and the Sensitive line is where that heritage is perhaps most carefully expressed.
What it does
The cream forms a dense, cushioning lather that sits between blade and skin, softening stubble and allowing the razor to glide without dragging.
Oatmeal soothes and hydrates the skin, helping to reduce irritation and redness, while green tea contributes antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors. Glycerin moisturises and provides optimal razor glide, minimising the risk of nicks.
The result is a noticeably calmer shave: less tightness, less post-shave redness, and none of the burning sensation that cheaper formulations tend to leave behind.
The formula
This formulation contains no parabens, no silicones, no SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), no mineral oil, and no artificial colours. 97% of ingredients are of natural origin, and the product is cruelty-free with no ingredients of animal origin. Made in Italy.
The scent is restrained and considered: a light, clean note of lime and apple that dissipates quickly and won't compete with a cologne.
How to use
This cream can be applied in two ways: massaged directly into damp skin with the fingers for a quick everyday shave, or worked into a rich lather using a shaving brush and bowl for a more considered, close result. Either way, rinse thoroughly with cold water after shaving to close the pores.
For best results, use as part of the full Proraso Sensitive routine alongside the pre-shave cream and aftershave balm.
