Proraso

Pros

• I've come to have even more respect to people who keep using classics like Proraso, Nivea, Tabac or any other commercial product despite trying other artisan products
• Tabac is still highly praised, Proraso is still well recommended.
• I've only tried Proraso and Nivea and they are both pretty good.
• Just try some proraso or something like that, you don't need a shaving bowl for it if you go with the shaving cream. It lasts a long time as well.
• Proraso performs very well, is easy to use, and generally well liked. So that’s what I usually recommend to the new shavers. Can’t go wrong with it.

Cons

• I still have unfinished tubes of proraso and nivea
• Cheap proraso and most blades are made in India, Russia and Egypt and that's closer than where I live so probably cheaper for importing.
• But it's definitely not worth it 20$.
• Proraso is a little tricky to get to the right texture.
• I finally got a shave soap with tallow in it (before, I just used creams like Proraso and TOBS). Wow, what a difference it made.
