Follow this step-by-step guide to get a smooth, refreshing shave with Proraso's Refreshing Shaving Cream Tube, suitable for all skin types.

Quick answer

Wet your face, squeeze a small amount of Proraso Refreshing Shaving Cream from the tube, lather with a brush or hands, shave, then rinse.

Why tube cream works for all skin types

Proraso's Refreshing Shaving Cream is formulated without harsh ingredients that irritate sensitive skin. The 5.2 oz tube makes it easy to control the amount you use, reducing waste and ensuring a consistent lather every time.

When to use a brush vs. your hands

Using a shaving brush lifts the hairs and exfoliates the skin for a closer shave. If you're in a hurry or traveling, your hands work fine — just make sure to rub the cream vigorously between your palms to build a rich lather.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Prep your skin: Wash your face with warm water to open pores and soften the beard. Pat dry slightly so the cream lathers properly. Skipping this step can lead to a rough shave and irritation.
Step 2: Squeeze the cream: Squeeze a dime-sized amount of Proraso Refreshing Shaving Cream from the tube into your palm or directly onto a damp shaving brush. Too much cream clogs the brush and wastes product; start small.
Step 3: Build the lather: If using a brush, swirl it in a bowl or on your face with a little water until a thick, creamy lather forms. If using hands, rub palms together vigorously. A thin, watery lather means you need more cream or less water.
Step 4: Apply and shave: Spread the lather evenly over your beard area. Shave with the grain first, then re-lather and shave across the grain if needed. Rinse the blade often. Shaving against the grain without a fresh lather increases the risk of cuts.
Step 5: Rinse and moisturize: Rinse your face with cool water to close pores. Pat dry and apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm or moisturizer. Skipping moisturizer can leave skin feeling tight, especially after a hot-water shave.
