NOTE: Few men realize Proraso Pre Shave Cream can be used by itself as a wonderful brushless shaving cream. Simply prep the beard as usual, then with the face still wet massage some Proraso Pre Shave Cream into your whiskers. With a wet razor head, commence shaving, regularly rinsing the blade to keep the razor head wet. If necessary, with wet fingertips moisten an area to be shaved. Rinse face with cool water, then pat dry. It's usually not necessary to apply an aftershave balm since the Proraso Pre Shave Cream has worked its way into pores.
