Proraso Shaving Cream In Tube Blue 150Ml

Proraso Blue Shaving Cream, 150 ml Tube - Protective Lather for Weather-Exposed Skin

Proraso Shaving Cream In Tube Blue is a 150 ml (5.2 fl oz) concentrated shaving cream from the Italian barber house Proraso, made for men who want a dense, slick cushion between the blade and the skin. The Blue tube is Proraso's Protective formula, built around aloe and vitamin E, and it is the one barbers hand to clients whose faces are out in cold, wind or air conditioning all day. Because it is a concentrate rather than a canned foam, an almond-sized amount covers the whole beard area, so one tube stretches across dozens of shaves with a straight razor, shavette, safety razor or cartridge head.

Key Features

• Protective line: Blue is the tube in the Proraso range keyed to aloe and vitamin E, chosen for skin that feels tight and dry after shaving in cold or windy conditions.
• Concentrate, not aerosol: A small dab whips into a thick, stable lather, so 150 ml outlasts a comparable can of foam by a wide margin.
• Lather that holds: The foam keeps its structure on the face instead of collapsing, so you can take a second pass over the same area without re-lathering the whole beard.
• Restrained scent: One of the milder scents in the line - no heavy menthol hit, which suits men who wear cologne.
• Bowl or face lathering: Works with a badger or synthetic brush in a scuttle or bowl, and also emulsifies between wet palms when you are shaving in a hurry.
• Travel-ready tube: The flat tube and screw cap fit a dopp kit or a barber station drawer without popping open in a bag.

How to Use

1. Wash the beard area with warm water, or lay a hot towel over the face for a minute to soften the hair.
2. Squeeze an almond-sized amount of cream into a lathering bowl or into your palm.
3. Work it with a damp shaving brush in small circles, adding water a few drops at a time until the lather turns glossy and dense.
4. Paint the lather on against the grain so it lifts the hair, then shave with the grain in short, light strokes.
5. Rinse with cool water, pat dry, and follow with an aftershave balm or splash.

About Proraso

Proraso is made in Florence by the Ludovico Martelli house, supplying barbershops with shaving preparations since 1908. The brand still builds its range around the barber chair, grouping pre-shave, cream and aftershave into colour-coded lines so a shop can match the product to the client's skin rather than guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much cream should I use per shave?

About an almond-sized amount. These tube creams are concentrates, so using a palmful the way you would with canned foam only wastes product and thins the lather.

Do I need a shaving brush?

A brush builds the thickest lather, but you can also emulsify a small amount between wet palms and spread it by hand.

What is the difference between the Blue, Red and White tubes?

They are separate formulas in the same 150 ml format. Blue is the Protective line, Red is the Nourishing line built for coarse beards, and White is the one aimed at sensitive skin.

Is it strongly mentholated?

No. The cooling menthol and eucalyptus character belongs to the Green line; Blue is a calmer scent.

Can I use it with a straight razor?

Yes. The lather is dense enough to hold up under a straight razor or shavette, and it works just as well with safety and cartridge razors.
