 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of review video and we'll be looking at Proraso shaving cream which I have it right here. So this is a famous Italian brand shaving cream and it's a classic shaving cream and I have been trying to do a review on this cream for a while. So this is usually $12 Canadian but at my local drug store I found this on sale for $6 Canadian and I thought I wanted to give it a try so I picked up a copy of Proraso shaving cream. So this is the regular version they have other versions which I saw a sensitive one and then there's like you know the can and then there's the bowl or soap bowl but I wanted to pick up the regular shaving cream for the first time. So this one is actually eucalyptus and menthol and the packaging has a very nice classic looks which I kind of like and then so we're going to you know shave this use this to shave today and I'll give you my opinion how it feels or you know how good or bad it is. So the way we're going to do it I'll put the shaving cream on the left side of my face and then I'll just you know rub it with my fingers with water and then on my right side I'll just put the shaving cream and then I'll use a brush like this to make it foamy. The reason because most of you I know that you know lots of you guys use shaving brush and lots of you don't so just I'm going to try both of them on each side. What's happening with me that in the past I used to shave with shaving brush but now I kind of got lazy and I just like you know put the shaving cream on both sides of the face and then I just rub it with fingers and with water and then that just works fine so I usually don't use a brush anymore but sometimes I do if I feel like it but today let's try both. So I'm just going to smell this the first thing. The first thing I'm noticing that it has a classic barber smell but with a touch of eucalyptus and menthol and that's what actually it is. Actually you cannot even this is in Italian I don't think this is in English but most likely it's in here for example right here. So the moment you smell it you get that smell so I'm just going to like you know take a little bit and put it on here and then just take some water and then I'm just you know I'll just make it like foamy and I'll do that for this part of my face and then for the other side I'll just like you know grab something like this and I'll just close this one and let's put it in here and I'm going to just you know use this brush to make it foamy and I'm just moving away farther a little bit from the camera so it doesn't go you know into the lens. So it looks like the foam or leather is coming nice it's in a very thick and smooth and I might need to just add a little bit more water so and you know I can feel the it just feels like going to the barber and having a shave. Okay so I think this should be good enough for this side and then here let's just like you know rub slightly more and so as you can see even with fingers it works just fine you know it's not maybe like this but still I think it's okay so I don't that's why you know I don't use a shaving brush that much so the razor I'm using is this is a chic five chic hydro five and this is the one usually I use this is the one I've been using for a while it's a little bit more expensive than other versions of chic but it just like you know pays off because I want I use each of this for about a month so let's just like you know try from the left first and I'm not actually looking at the mirror for that reason I cannot look at the camera so that's why my eyes are directing to different direction okay it smooths you know it glides smoothly and I'm just going to try this part so what happened I was checking uh pro rosso's website and they have some good instructions on their website how to shave and some good tips so if you're interested you might want to check that out later on and just to clarify things that this is not any paid or affiliated review there's no affiliated links no nothing all my reviews are not affiliated unbiased and honest so that way you get the best opinion so the mental is kicking in I can feel the coolness on my face and you know I the smell is kind of it's not the lightest smell it's kind of like you know strong but not too strong but definitely it gives you the you know feeling and the smell of going to the barber because I feel like you know I'm at the barber shop uh it just like you know has that feeling in terms of the foam or the leather it just feels okay you know it it's doing its job but uh I'm not going to say it's very thick because I have used other shaving cream uh like you know which produces thicker leather than this so this looks like it's slightly not that thick but I think it's still it's manageable yeah and also you can see that you know it doesn't produce any leather anymore so I think you have to reapply the foam uh but you know in general it looks like it's just doing the job so I'm not going to continue uh shaving all the way because I think that's good enough to you know find out how good or bad it is so I'm going to have to say that you know it works fine the smell is slightly on the heavy side and some of you may not like it it has the classic barber smell with a touch of eucalyptus and the mental and you're going to have heavy like you know cool feeling or mental feeling on the face so if it's winter then definitely it's gonna be like gonna feel a little bit cooler but in the summer this is going to feel a lot better than the winter so overall I'm happy with the product uh but you know it's a expensive shaving cream so my take on this is going to be that you know I'm not going to buy this paying the full price unless I get it on sale because if you let's say for example if you are buying a Nivea you know shave cream which is only four dollars and I think it comes close to the porazo shaving cream and it could even be better if the Nivea like you know regular version or the sensitive version they do have a sensitive version of this which I'm going to or hoping to review in the future but definitely you know I wouldn't buy this at paying the full price unless like it's on sale and my understanding is that uh this is okay it works fine but definitely it cannot surpass other popular brands which are a lot cheaper than this one but overall I'm happy with the product and you know I'm going to continue using this and finish this and we'll try to get something else from their line of product but it's going to be a different version so thank you for watching this video there'll be more videos coming up and I'll see you shortly thanks
