Cons: Only place I've found it is via desertcart; nobody local sells it! (not really a con, but if I'm running low, I have to plan to purchase more at least 2 days before I run out, thanks to Prime) The bowl is a little hard to store (my medicine cabinet isn't very deep, and the bowl would cause it not to close, so it has to sit out on the counter. Minor nitpick, but that's not Proraso's fault - I'd rather put it away if I can, but the cabinet's really shallow) So this soap is nice and slick - just a little bit of water on a shaving brush, and I'm able to whip up a great lather. I have noticed with my hard water in Southern California that it tends to dry out on my face fairly quickly, so I almost need to have it fairly wet and runny when I'm starting - once I apply it, it's a great, slick soap, and adds a lot of cushion. It feels absolutely wonderful on my face, and fortunately doesn't dry it out like the old Edge Gel that I used to use; plus, a little bit goes a LONG way, for shaving my face and my head. I think I've found a great shaving soap for the price point, and will DEFINITELY have it as a soap in my arsenal. Sure, it's not as cheap as say, the $4 can of Edge Gel, or the $1 cans of Barbasol shaving cream, but it lasts longer, it has a great smell (a nice sandalwood scent that my wife commented on and said, "It smells really good on you, like a man should smell like!"), and it leaves my face and head feeling good. There are a few other soaps that I'd like to try (boutique soaps, for the most part), but this is definitely going to be part of my shaving arsenal in case anything else gets expensive or impossible to find. :) Review: Great quality & value-If you're on the fence, here's your sign to try it! - --Packing/shipping: No issues at all, no leaking. --Scent: Good scent, but not overbearing at all. --Quality: I use a badger brush, run under hot water 30 seconds or so to soften bristles then good to go. Provides more than enough lather for a comfortable shave with a double edge safety razor! --Value: I have a full beard so I'm not shaving my complete face, but still this shave soap will last me at least a year. I'm at 10 months now with it and still plenty to go, can't beat that! ## Features - Premium shaving soap in a bowl creates a thick, protective lather with Sandalwood Oil and Shea Butter to soften beard, cleanse skin and reduce razor burn for a smooth, close shave every time. Ideal for coarse, thick beards - Softens beard, enhances razor glide, helps reduce nicks and razor burn; ideal for coarse beards & bump prone skin - Wet shaving brush and swirl in bowl to build lather. Apply to damp face, then shave.

Or is it transferred to another bowl for mixing? Thanks!** A: You wet the brush and then swirl it on the soap for a bit. Then take your brush and swirl it in your shave bowl to work lather. You can add more soap and water as necessary. **Q: Is this a crean or a bar of soap?** A: It's solid, but it beats heck out of a "bar of soap." **Q: Other than consistency, is it the same as the tube...fragrance, feel on the skin?** A: My experience is that the soap is slicker, than the cream. The soap allows a DE razor to glide better than the cream. But the cream protects against cuts better. They both smell about the same. Maybe the cream as a slightly stronger/more powerful scent but not by much. The sent of the soap stays on my skin longer than the cream. **Q: Can i use this to shave with disposable razors like the mach 5?** A: Yes, with all razors. It’s shaving cream. Use a wet brush to apply it. Great stuff. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great smell (the wife got a whiff and said she ... *by S***T on August 18, 2016* Pros: Great smell (the wife got a whiff and said she really liked it - it's not "medicine-y" like the Proraso Green with its menthol) Long Lasting Produces a really nice, creamy lather Comes in its own bowl that fits nicely in my palm - makes it really easy to whip up lather!

In the past, I have only used Nivea, Gillette, and Barbasol shaving creams. I recently purchased a Yaqi shaving brush out of curiosity, and decided to pull the trigger on this Proraso shaving soap based on company history and customer reviews. Well, now I understand why Proraso has the loyal following and stellar reputation that it does. I find it quite different from the other shaving creams I used. I don’t know how else to explain it other than to say that this shaving soap felt thicker, creamier, and more luxurious than anything else I used previously. I also got a better/closer shave when using my Mach3 blades, and my skin felt better afterwards. Meaning, I didn’t feel the same type of discomfort or irritation right after shaving that I felt when using those other shaving creams. I didn’t feel the immediate urge to apply after shave, although, after trying this Proraso shaving soap, I also went ahead and purchased the Proraso after shave balm. The smell of this shaving soap is also pleasant..masculine but mild. I can definitely say that if you’re on the fence, you should definitely try this. It’s without a doubt a high quality shaving soap/cream, and in my opinion, worth the higher price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Proraso Shaving Soap - Proraso Pre-Shave Conditioning Cream for Men, Refreshing and Toning with Menthol and Eucalyptus Oil, 3.6 oz - Proraso Shaving Soap --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1533143-shaving-soap](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1533143-shaving-soap) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
