FAQs
Is this shaving cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is enriched with precious oils to cushion the skin and minimize irritation, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Do I need a shaving brush to use this cream?
While it's possible to lather with your hands, using a shaving brush is highly recommended to achieve the rich, dense lather that this cream is designed for.
What does 'Single Blade collection' mean?
It refers to Proraso's specific formulations designed to provide optimal performance and protection when using single-blade razors, such as safety razors or straight razors.
How long does the 275ml tub typically last?
With daily use and a pea-sized amount per shave, a 275ml tub can last several months, offering excellent value.
What is the scent profile of Cypress & Vetyver?
The scent is a sophisticated blend of dry, woody notes from vetyver and cypress, accented with citrus and mint for an invigorating and clean finish.
Can I use this cream with an electric razor?
While designed for traditional wet shaving, it can provide extra glide and comfort when used with some electric razors, though results may vary.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty creating lather
Ensure your shaving brush is sufficiently wet. Use a bit more cream or gradually add more water while lathering.
Lather dissipates quickly
Try using slightly less water or ensure you are using a dense enough cream-to-water ratio. A dedicated lather bowl can help maintain lather consistency.
Skin irritation after shaving
Ensure you are using a sharp blade and not applying excessive pressure. Rinse your face thoroughly and apply a post-shave balm.
Product feels dry or less effective
Check if the container has been left open, allowing the cream to dry out. Ensure the lid is sealed properly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Add water gradually as needed to reach desired consistency.
