Proraso Shaving Cream In Tube Red 150Ml

Proraso Red Shaving Cream, 150 ml Tube - Rich Lather for Coarse, Wiry Beards

Proraso Shaving Cream In Tube Red is the Nourishing member of the Proraso tube range: 150 ml (5.2 fl oz) of concentrated cream keyed to shea butter and sandalwood. It is the tube barbers reach for when a client has heavy, wire-stiff stubble that dulls an edge fast and leaves the jaw raw afterwards. The lather comes up noticeably richer and slicker than the lighter tubes in the line, which is what lets the blade travel through dense hair instead of tugging at it. One tube covers a long run of shaves and fits a shop station drawer or a travel bag equally well.

Key Features

• Nourishing line: Red is the tube built around shea butter and sandalwood, aimed at thick, coarse beards and skin that feels stripped after a close shave.
• Heavier slip: The lather is denser than the sensitive and protective tubes, giving the edge more glide over stiff hair on the chin and neck.
• Warm woody scent: A sandalwood-led profile rather than a cooling one, which reads as classic barbershop rather than sharp menthol.
• Concentrated economy: An almond-sized amount is enough for a full face, so 150 ml goes much further than the same volume of aerosol foam.
• Multi-pass friendly: The foam stays put long enough for a with-the-grain pass followed by a cleanup pass on the neck and jawline.
• Brush or hand: Whips up properly in a bowl with a badger or synthetic brush, and still works emulsified between wet palms.
• Compact tube: Screw-cap tube that stands up to being carried in a kit bag between shops and appointments.

How to Use

1. Soften the beard first with a hot towel or two minutes of warm water on the face - coarse hair needs the extra prep.
2. Dispense an almond-sized amount into a bowl or onto a damp brush.
3. Build the lather in circles, adding water slowly until it turns thick and glossy with no dry pockets.
4. Lay it on generously over the beard, working against the grain to stand the hair up.
5. Shave in short strokes, rinse with cool water, then apply an aftershave balm to finish.

About Proraso

Built on the Florentine workshop Ludovico Martelli founded in 1908, Proraso made its name supplying barbershops, not department stores, and the range is still organised the way a barber thinks: a line per skin type, in matching formats. The colour-coded tubes let a shop keep one cream for sensitive faces, one for coarse beards and one for weather-beaten skin without relearning a new product each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Red tube for?

Men with thick, wiry or fast-growing stubble who find lighter creams give up halfway through the pass, and anyone whose skin feels dry after shaving.

How does it compare to the White tube?

Red is the richer of the two and carries a sandalwood scent; White is the sensitive-skin option with a much lower-key scent profile.

How long does one 150 ml tube last?

That depends on how heavily you load the brush, but because it is a concentrate most men get well over a month of daily shaves from a tube.

Does it work in hard water?

Yes, though hard water needs a little more brush work. Add water in small increments until the lather turns glossy rather than dumping it in at once.

Can I use it in a barbershop setting?

It is a standard shop cream. Dispense onto a spatula or into a bowl per client rather than touching the tube nozzle to skin.
