Proraso Shaving Cream - Sandalwood & Shea Butter (150ml)

This is what a shaving cream is supposed to be. Made in Italy using Proraso's hot saponification process - the same method they've used since 1948 - this tube cream produces a dense, exceptionally stable lather that cushions the razor, protects the skin, and leaves the face feeling genuinely conditioned rather than stripped. No aerosol shortcuts, no synthetic fluff. Just a small amount loaded onto a damp brush that builds into more foam than you'd expect, rich enough for a safety razor and refined enough for a straight blade.

Who's It For

Red Line - Men with thick, coarse, or stubborn beards. The sandalwood and shea butter combination delivers extra slip for tougher hair and extra nourishment for dry skin underneath. 

Key Benefits

• Dense, creamy lather that cushions and protects throughout the shave
• Produced via hot saponification - a traditional Italian method for superior texture and skin compatibility
• Softens even coarse beard hair for a closer, more comfortable result
• Leaves skin soft, hydrated, and smooth post-shave
• No parabens, silicones, mineral oils, or SLS
• More than 95% naturally derived ingredients 

How It Works

The hot saponification process transforms oils and fatty acids into a refined soap free of any residual aggressive substances - what you get in the tube is a fully matured, skin-compatible cream that produces a stable, cushioning lather. Applied with a brush, it raises the beard hair for a cleaner cut while laying down a protective film between skin and blade that meaningfully reduces drag, friction, and post-shave redness.

Key Ingredients

Red Line

• Sandalwood Oil - Rich and nourishing, conditions the skin and beard simultaneously while delivering a warm, woody scent.
• Shea Butter - Deep moisturisation that protects the skin from razor drag, particularly useful for dry and coarse beard types.

Scent Profile

Red Line -  Warm and distinguished — rich sandalwood with a smooth, masculine depth. 

How To Use

Dampen your shaving brush thoroughly. Squeeze approximately 2cm of cream into the damp bristles and work it into the beard using circular massage movements. Build to a dense, creamy lather directly on the face. Shave as normal.
