We love the luxury soaps from Claus Porto, our unique toothpaste from Marvis, and the scented body washes and lotions from NEST.  But the men at the Gracious Style team pointed out that something was still missing from our bath collection. We didn’t have any quality shaving products – or any shaving products at all.

Never ones to leave such an oversight uncorrected, we went on an extensive search and discovered a great manufacturer of top-quality shaving creams, foams, and aftershaves.

We’d like to introduce you to Proraso.

Created in Italy by the Martelli family, these one-of-a-kind shaving creams, soaps, and foams are still being made in the time-honored traditional way. The distinctive quality and performance of Proraso products has made them a staple in barbershops throughout Italy.

The traditional recipe contains no parabens, SLS, artificial colors, silicones or mineral oils, only natural moisturizers and essential oils that are good for your skin. There’s a shaving cream in a tube, a shave soap in a jar for lovers of tradition, and a shaving foam in a can for those that like convenience. Pre- and after-shave creams and balms round out the collection.

Proraso has three formulas. Refresh contains refreshing Eucalyptus oil and Menthol. Nourish features Shea Butter to keep the skin soft and supple and Sandalwood Oil for a calming and soothing effect. Sensitive is formulated for the most sensitive skin with Green Tea Extract and oatmeal extract.

We love this old-fashioned shaving brush, the result of a collaboration between Proraso and the famous Omega company.   And you know what else?  The well-designed packaging on all Proraso products looks great on the counter next to our Marvis toothpaste!
