For several years I have used the Proraso hard soap in the green bowl and a badger brush.
This week I switched to the Proraso soft soap in a squeeze tube. Amazing difference. Using the same blade, the shave is much much closer. |

I'll have to try a tube if I see it.
I have a few pucks, yet, to go. |

I love the tube stuff. Proraso blue is all I use.

I used the same brush and Muhle with a shark blade it was literally the closest shave I've had in a long time. Two passes and I was good. |

ETA: it also makes a noticeable difference in the first pass, especially if you have heavy growth or (and more importantly to me) shave every day. |

It's great stuff. Been using it for years. If you really want to bathe your face in luxury try some Geo F. Trumper shaving cream.
Also check out the superior shave. They use to have a shop here in jax. When back to online only now. |

I just bought a tube of Proraso Saturday and tried it out. Amazing.

always liked the cream a lot. the bowl does give the benefit of a lather bowl built in so you can adjust how you want it. But totally agree tube is a slicker shave. either way there is always proraso in my house.
These days I'm a Taylor of Old Bond guy. Great foam and I enjoy almost all their scents. |

When he runs out of the solution, he can refill it with baby oil (that's what I do). https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1766/3071/products/RazorGuard_Starter_Kit_square_800x.jpg?v=1579915302 View Quote Scrolling thru this thread awhile back and saw this tip. Many thanks, leaving razor clean in mineral or baby oil has been a game changer. Edit to add: I agree that Proraso cream menthol is awesome, good shaving bowl and badger brush is luxury with the cream. |

Yep, I keep the Proraso bowl/badger brush for home use, but keep the tube in my travel bag. It trumps everything else by a mile.
Pro-tip, don't wake up 3 sheets to the wind in a shitty hotel room and attempt to brush your teeth with it. Instant regret. |
