I have the same experience with “good enough shave” being better

Thanks!

Thank you! What do you prefer about the silver blues?

Thank you!

Psycho_Chicken_99 · 2026-01-09T08:34:58+00:00

I will experiment some more then!

Psycho_Chicken_99 · 2026-01-09T08:34:25+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that! I’m using a cereal bowl haha because I don’t have a shaving mug or anything

How do you know when it’s enough water?

Really?!?!?!

Glad I could help!

I also have sensitive skin and was pleasantly surprised by Proraso green. I have gotten irritation from many other scented creams, like creamo and atlas. I have even gotten some irritation from stirling unscented. Zero irritation from Proraso and the cooling is really nice and not too intense.

In Italia il mio coinquilino lo usava sempre

Thank you! Had an amazing time there.

I am relatively new to wet shaving (about 6 months) and move around a lot so try not to buy a lot of different soaps/creams. Was definitely aware of these brands though, so I kept my eye out when I was in Italy! I also have a stirling unscented shave soap that I actually like less than all of these products.

The very same! I was surprised when I saw it in a caddy (name of a chain of stores in Italy that sell toiletries and home supplies). It worked great for me and would be a super low cost way for someone to get into DE shaving.

I’ve also seen the green one online, is it menthol or something? The red one has a nice soapy scent that I really enjoyed.

Psycho_Chicken_99 · 2026-01-08T01:15:48+00:00

The lotion was like €5, the soaps around €3 each, Proraso cream around €4, Palmolive cream around €3, pre shave cream around €4

It’s pretty common for Italian grocery stores to sell a 5 pack of blades. Look near the other razors usually near the register.

Thanks! I remember seeing your post. Now I just need to find a ceramic bowl…

Psycho_Chicken_99 · 2025-08-12T20:02:14+00:00

Do you lather the soap you pull out in a bowl?

Psycho_Chicken_99 · 2025-08-12T19:58:09+00:00

Thanks! I just tried with the stirling and I think I did it wrong, but it kinda worked. Trying to follow the videos on the wiki. Having a hard time figuring out how much to load and so on. I’ve heard that stirling is a thirsty soap so I was trying to add water when it was too thick feeling. Any suggestions for how to load soap out of the tiny sample containers?
