Proraso Red Shaving Soap and a 101 Year Old Razor - No Shave November DAY 4

- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- I’ve had many, many requests to try out the Proraso Red shaving soap, so I bought some on Amazon and it’s time to try it out. I also use my signature shaving brush from DS Cosmetics along with a Gillette Old Style razor from 1918 with a Feather blade. We’re still in No Shave November, so let’s also see how much beard growth I’ve got.
Let’s Shave!

I love the way you talk about your razors and your life almost as much as you talk about the soap!
Thanks!
I started with the Proraso White because I'd always thought my skin was sensitive, turns out it's more of my curly whiskers that were the problem. I love how clean the brand is, it's a pretty good classic. I tried the Barrister and Mann Terror menthol soap and it dried my skin out something terrible though!!
The name should have given it away. Terrible!
Hi Sinatra! Sandro from Italy! You get a Proraso red, it’s one of my favorite and cheap. Cella is good but goes for 10€, way too much for a soap.
Whoa!
@@SinatraLennon the red proraso bowl is sold for 2.20€ here in italy, like 3$. those tax are insane
The 1918 Gillette is my favorite razor of all in my collection.
I have three of them (red, green, white) red has a great performance specially on colder days, green is awesome on summer days and I use white in colder days too, I found it to be the most mousturizing of them, love all proraso profucts, btw nice shave!
It's a good shaving soap. I've bought this product recently and I'm pretty satisfied.
I like the proraso, it,’s a nice soap for that price. Have you ever tried any Meissner soaps, Sinatra? If not, you should give it a try some day, I love those! Thanks for the great content.
I haven’t yet!
Oh, you picked the red Proraso, the one marketed as for "barba dura", i.e. a tough beard. I wonder if it makes a difference -- even the toughest whiskers can be softened down, and contemporary DE blades are sharp enough to cut through a lot. I once tried if I could slice a Dunlop nylon guitar pick (don't remember the thickness) with a Rapira blade, and it worked well. But I'm glad you liked it. Now for the concert stuff...the first time I attended a rock concert was in 2015. The first time I attended a classical concert was in 1997, when I was 16 years old. The conductor was also my teacher. Concerning the length of the razor handle -- I already mentioned that I think short handles are good for shaving one's face with a safety razor. There are always exceptions due to anatomical reasons, but for most people, a short handle is fine for the face. King C. Gillette marketed his first razors toward men who were used to the straight razor. Safety razors with non-disposable blades did exist in 19th century Germany, but they were the equivalent of owning a heated Gillette Fusion -- a luxury item. They came in versions with 3 or 7 wedge-shaped blades, and the box hand a stropping slot in it. Shave, take the blade out, drop it into the stropping slot and take a new one the next day, until they all need a honing. These razors had a short handle, too, because they were meant to replace the straight, which you have to lift all the way to your face. The so-called "handle" serves only for balance and to store away the blade safely. Oh, and kudos for not using one of that silicone-loaded "3 days growth" stubble conditioners. I swore off them when I learned about what is in them and decided I would rather have some itching than my skin sealed with silicone. I am prone to blackheads. I found out that, wherever on your body, as soon as the stubble has reached a certain length, it no longer itches, if at all.
You know, I'm a Gillette guy myself. Been using their products ever since I began shaving and haven't stopped yet. I shave with Gillette Fusion cartridge razors ever day. I love it! Keep up the good work, man.
Thanks Patrick!
THATS HOW MY BEARD was now i got a beard. I just trimmed it yesterday. Im letting it grow out. Im tired busy weekend last week
Excellent soaps for the price. Properly lathered, it is amazing. I used the Red for awhile just casually lathering. One day, I took my time lathering. To me, it was an improvement. Just when I think I am crazy in my enthusiasm for wet shaving, I hear Kevy Shaves practices lathering........
That Kevy is a good one!
Hey Bob, PRORASO are very good products, made in Italy, i use very often a green line, pre shave, shaving foam or barber soap in tube...are very valid products for shave, try also after shave lotion...sorry if I'm so nationalist. See you next video. Ciao.
Be proud of your country! That’s a good thing.
I love Proraso! I have been using the Green variant. I think it’s like the Bigalow stuff you got from Bath and Body Works except it’s the tub like your Red Proraso and not a shave cream in a tube. The Green is eucalyptus and Menthol scent, might be right up your ally ;)
I’ll have to try it out!
C o Bigelow is proraso green for your information
Nice shave! If you like Proraso red, then you've gotta try Proraso green soap and aftershave that has menthol and eucalyptus. It is one of my favorite soap and aftershave combos.
No doubt, my go to everyday combo! I'm tempted to try a more mentholated aftershave though.
Have you already try the new latest Barbasol face and body lotion or moisturizing body wash 🧴 with original and soothing aloe? Because, they have it at big lots in stores. And, that new Barbasol face and body lotion is good to used it for after shaving.
I still haven’t found any!
SinatraLennon you can also find the Barbasol body wash on eBay.
I use all three ,white,green,and red and they all do a great job.
Seen another youtuber say that Marshalls sometimes has the soap in stock for $5.. I have gone to 3 different ones and they only have the aftershave and the post shave cream. Guess I'll have to get it on amazon.
I love the Proraso Red. Good stuff. However I’m not a fan of the Green. If you’re interested I’ll send you the Green, I only used it once but didn’t like get any razorbear germs in it. I don’t think I have any deadly germs anyway.
Thanks for the offer, but I’m trying to get rid of stuff!
SinatraLennon oh I hear you there. I’m not in this hobby long and I’ve got a few good size boxes of things already. Ridiculous!! I should have gotten into stamp collecting, they’re small and take up far less room.
Easily one of my favorite soaps ever. I like the proraso red in the squeeze tube better but both a fantastic
LOL somebody took my suggestion from last week... your a man for the people...
Thanks for that!
Imho, the green proraso creams are average lather wise. The reds are creamier and soften the stubble better.
I bought a travel shave bowl at my local meijer store in the camping section for $2.99. I used twice and it worked great. It even collapsed so that you can travel with it.
Thanks for the tip on beard oil. I will have to try that. Main reason I stay clean shaved is because I can't stand the way it feels when it gets all prickly and dry.
Me too. Still, I prefer clean shaven.
The Proraso is a great soap, but also try the pre-shave/aftershaves (red is my choice, other colours are available).
What does the Proraso red smell like? I love my Proraso green shaving soap.
I like this razor....couldn't find it so cheap.... I have a few Prorasos and none came w boxes. One I got from TJ Max $4 BUT is came yellow and cracked really old stuff... and ItalianBarber had a sale last Tue, so I ordered one more... This year I got the itch that even woke me up....cray cray; but in the neck....
Barbershop is my favorite soap of all not just stirling
Good luck on getting the new Gillette. Mine got pushed back to November 20th
Mine too. Everyone did!
Proraso is good stuff used the green and white yet to try the red.
I have typewriters over 100 years old and still work! Quality stuff also if you thought barbasol was thick you should try Van Der Hagens self heating shave cream no joke its like glue!
That's the first one I got from them (at least I think so, judging from the package colours) and I still have it, it has lasted me very long. Though I got a big tin anniversary box with pre-shave, shaving soap and aftershave splash. I love the vintage smell, it's very pleasant.
Edit: Btw I'm still enjoying that DSCosmetics brush. I may have said this before, but I find the synthetic brush retains water (and therefore also soap) way better than badger brush bristles. I don't think I'll be going back. The synthetic also feels nicer, I'd say.
I agree 100% with your thoughts on synthetic brushes. They’re so good!
A very fine video as always. I have been thinking of trying an open comb.
Give one a try. They always looked dangerous to me when I was young. Scary teeth and what have you. I must have seen my grandpa’s or something and thought that.
I was given a tube of the red by s friend. When I shave my head with it the scent stays with me in a warm fuzz all day long.
I know something u haven't tryed try this take two double edge razors of ur choice and use both at the same time you can lather and wet ur face however but try useing two de razors to shave both sides of ur face and to make it interesting you need to get a voltage mountain dew and sip it through a straw so take a big sip through the straw for every two strokes u take
But why the Mountain Dew?!
Because I want to see how much u can multi task while shaveing
U can use two double edge razors right at the same time
All I have used is the Proraso Green. It does the job, and the price is reasonable, so I don't see a reason to try anything else. Still don't see much difference in the Feather and Astra blades. I will say the Osage Rub has grown on me. So in 20 years when this bottle is used up I'll probably buy another. LOL
It's been a few months since I shaved and I barely have a beard. I also have a circular patch of hardly any growth around my chin area. I wish it grew like my hair, thick and quick lol.
I think this is the razor you used to take your “No Shave November” beard off last year, are we going to get a repeat this year? Or will the Gillette Heritage take beard off! Stay tuned! Lol
great video as always, i love Proraso i think i got all their soaps after shaves ect and i´m Danish...cheers Peter
Great Vid! Been waiting for you to give Proraso a try. Proraso red is a must have in your arsenal. But I noticed that the performance of Proraso highly dependent on the hardness of your water. Crazy cause it's the only soap I noticed that with.
Just ordered some Cold Fusion soap and aftershave. Also have the Fine Snakebite. Curious to see which is stronger💪🏻❄️
Let me know because I’m curious too!
Will do. I was disappointed with the Snakebite. Not as strong as I was expecting.
Italian pronunciation on point man! Great shave, I love that soap I use it at least twice a week it's great when it's cold outside
Yes! I tried. 👍🏻
Proraso has just recently reformulated all their products and hitting stores, looks for the super formula written on the packaging
Proraso red is one of my favourites. I watched the F1 at the weekend, I personally think that Austin has one of the best tracks on the calendar. I'll go there one day!
It was a lot of fun to attend!
@@SinatraLennon I'm sure it was buddy!
Never tried Proraso aside from the C. O. Bigelow stuff, maybe I'll give it a try in 5 years when I need more shaving cream/soap lol. Love that razor though, I have one as well (a few years newer I think but the same type) and it's one of my favorites to shave with, probably my favorite DE overall (not that I've used many, I generally prefer SEs).
2:54
“Cornholio” is Beavis’ attempt at Spanish.
Haha, I didn't catch that he said that.
Great videos. Keep em coming. Learning a lot. New to wet shaving.
Welcome! I’ll keep making them.
I’m thinking your new Heritage razor would be the perfect device for December 1st.
Maybe so!
If they are ever delivered. My delivery date went from the 5th to the 8th to the 20th.
It must be really popular.
Will be send you some of that mamma bear cherry almond shave soap soon to try out.
Why don’t you use cartridges 3-5 razor blades
Nice shave Sl. I like Proraso red, one of my favorites. I’m more of a Nascar fan, but i do watch f1 sometimes.
NASCAR is probably more down to earth for most folks.
This aftershave or snakebite fine? I've been using proraso, which is great, but I want to crank the menthol up another notch.
I haven’t tried Snakebite yet!
I'm might come to Austin when the f1 is on. Watch the race and have a shave at yours.
See you on turn 5!
@@SinatraLennon will do but I'm watching the start into the first corner.
Great shave love the vintage razors
Love the videos and proraso
Thanks Griff.
The best shaving soap ever made was a solid stick Palmolive brand , unfortunately they have stopped making it
Karite is Shea butter.
I love proraso products. They've been around since 1908. Longer than your razor! I went ro COTA for the moto gp race the first year they were open. It's a beautiful track.
Btw- always check discount stores for proraso stuff. Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington, etc. I've gotten a lot of their stuff cheaply that way.
Thanks for the tip!
I have a gold version of that razor. I love it.
My Gillette Heritage is supposed to be here tomorrow (Tuesday).
Mine just got rescheduled to November 20th!
@@SinatraLennonEeeeek, maybe I should check my e-mails and see if they changed mine. Crap, mine was also changed to November 20'th GRRRRRRRRR
Been meaning to get some proraso shave cream I think nows the time 😎
The Proraso Red is ‘soothing and nourishing with sandaklwood and shea butter".
Proraso was founded in Florence in 1908.
Thanks for that info!
Another great video! Can’t wait for the live stream on the porch, hope it is on a Tuesday night 🥴🙈😂 And you know where the meetup should be, right? Wink wink 🤷🏻♀️
Hmmmm...perhaps somewhere in the Midwest?!
SinatraLennon Well, you guessed right! And not in the winter 🤪
If you could learn to use one without slicing yourself wouldn't the Shavette be better to edge your beard than a razor?
The razor does a great job and it’s easier!
another great video thanks Proraso red is one of my faves you gotta try the matching after shave now .... get on down that rabit hole haha
got all their soaps love them
I like Proraso Green much more its smells better to. And i shave away my no shave november beard today it itching so much so it drive me crazy and i try beard oil but dont work on me.
Didn’t make it, huh?! I’ll keep going for all of us!
Nope maybe better next year i hope. Yeah go for it!
Day 4 of the contest. Are you sure you're master of your domain?
Oh yeah!
Hi buddy great video your Beard is looking good I’m glad you Take part in no shave November for Men’s health
I just got an email from Amazon telling me that my Gillette Heritage is now delayed until the end of November
Me too! What’s going on, I wonder.
Is it ok to use virgin coconut oil as pre-shave?
Sure!
does any one now how to make it solid again it became mushy and wen i try to get lather ,chunks of the poraso stick to brush:/
I love cherry scents...my favorite fruit.
Hey Jill, are you doing no shave November? 😜
@@michaskiba7784 NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!
I hope your beard grows faster i like this stuff. Yeah mine was just like that then in 4 days it grew fast ok buddy take care. Wow you saw imagine dragons. Cool.
The Proraso red is a good soap, if you still have it maybe you could use the r41 at the end of Movember?! :P
Not a bad idea!
You're lucky I have bad luck with my Gillette heritage ordered it Oct 19th said I would be getting my November 7th or 8th also and then Amazon sent me a notice yesterday telling me that it would be the 27th or 28th.... Sighhhhhhh
Mine has been delayed until the 20th!
Have you ever heard of/ done the Marco method?
No! What is that?
SinatraLennon I believe I found it on a badger and brush forum when I was reading about the Italian shaving soaps/croaps ( proraso, cello) and someone recommended this method where you let the brush soak up water in the sink/bowl and then you begin lathering and you don’t re-add water at all. Supposably, it makes it VERY soapy which then dissipates and creates a pretty exceptional lather
What would you do if your fam wanted u to keep your beard 🤔
They won’t!
Try the original green one. It has menthol.
Beard is going into shape
You should do a coffee hang out outside
Just PLANNING AHEAD! Hey Sinatra Lennon, the day will come when N0-Shave November ends & you may want to remove that distinguished-looking beard/goatee. When you do, you will want the slickest soap in the world - it's even slicker than you are after a couple of double Single Malts.
And the recipe is so stupidly simple.
DO DIS:
I'm sure you can find a way to face lather with it, but try it first with a bowl:
Simply mix equal parts of Cremo and Neutrogena for Sensitive Skin (nickel-sized dabs will do you, with enough leftover to do the cat, too). Blend with a well wrung out damp (not wet) brush, and add a drop of water at a time. It lathers up nice & dense, and is so slick that if you use too much, you risk your face sliding right off your head.
I've been using it all week with several different razor and blade combos that aren't my favorite choices, yet managed to easily get Perfect, smooth and irritation-free shaves with each - every day ... all week.
I've posted the recipe over on one of the Shaving forums, I've even named it after you: Cremogena. OK, not after you ...
You never tired Proraso Red?! That was my first soap!!!!
Never! I’m late to the party.
It was my first soap too. I need to get some more soon.
Proraso has been around since 1948!
Very good pronunciation. Bravo ;)
Living Legend!
Thanks Kaden!
While over here in Blighty we call it Movember.
I love that. Blighty.
If you like cherry try out Stirling's black cherry and almond creme. It's good enough to eat. Not that I've tried...ok maybe for scientific research lol
That’s sounds like my kind of scent!
Not a lover of the Proraso I find it to drying on my skin
You might try washing your face with a good moisturizing soap before the shave. It sounds counterintuitive but it works for me and I've been using Williams Mug Soap for decades. Should also work with any other shave soap. ymmv
Can you tell me how to grow goatee i have beard oil & i am 19 year's old tell what to do how to apply
Just let it grow and then use a little bit of the oil to keep it from itching!
@@SinatraLennon okay thank you! & how manny used 1 or 2 or 3 little bit of oil
Looking good ! The beard suits u 🧔
Thanks!
I used Proraso sandalwood twice a year ago. It was exactly how I thought it would be. I gave it away. I was over it quickly. I like vegan stuff a lot better than the animal tallow stuff.
Proraso is glycerine, no tallow in any of their colors.
I genuinely can't believe that you have never tried Proraso red before...
I never had!
@@SinatraLennon have you at least tried Proraso green? As a fellow menth-head you must have, right? 🤣
Whats up sinatralennon! Another great video. Ive been using my Fatboy on setting 8 with a Gillette platinum blade. Also, are you on instagram? if not, you should! you would be instafamous!
No, I don’t know what I’d put up on Instagram!
Anyone else get there new gillette order pushed to lather this month?
Yep! Mine won’t come until the 20th. Perhaps demand has outstripped supply?
@@SinatraLennon yes mine too. Maybe gillette wasnt expecting the demand
@@SinatraLennon I'm bummed too because I was excited to do a head shave with it tonight lol
Why and How does he looks like legit and a scam at the same time??
It’s tough, but somehow I manage it!
You can do worse than Clark Griswold though--in the end he was good-hearted and loved by his family👍
Chevy Chase at his best.
Cornholio?! What??
Now, that’s an old reference!
I heard that too! Had to rewind and listen again. Haven't laughed that hard in a while! Long live cornholio!
Wow Beavis and Butthead that is vintage stuff. Jajaja
@@maddoggk9096 I dont think Beavis or Butthead should be trusted with a safety razor.
You know Sinatra, you don’t have to participate in no shave November, it’s not federal law.
It’s not?! 😉
Have to say the smell of Proraso Red makes me gag.. ugh!
Sounds like how I feel about Arko!
10 dollars? It’s a damn scam! I bought that for 2€!
Eh, still worth it. 😉
@@SinatraLennonIt's $5.99US at Italianbarber.com
Even at that price it is worth it because it lasts a very long time.
B.C. Gamingss I know. It’s just weird how much they charge the price in the US!
@@darkgladiator27 It is imported so that makes it more expensive. Also it is not something you can find in a typical store.
