Proraso Vintage Toccasana Tin Gift Set, 5.2 Oz

I've been shaving using a dual edge razor for almost a decade. I've tried many products from different companies across various countries. I've found Proraso products to do a nice job for an affordable price. Here's my routine:1. Hot shower while my badger hair brush soaks in hot water.2. Using Proraso shaving cream, first pass is "with the grain" using my Merkur 34-C razor with Feather (Japan) blades (all can be purchased from Amazon). Feather blades are - by far - the sharpest blades you'll find.3. Second pass is "across the grain" (i.e., not against the grain).4. Now that I'm about to shave closer to the skin, I apply the Proraso pre-shave cream. Does a wonderful job lubricating the skin and preventing red spots or irritation.5. Third pass is "against the grain" and using the "J hook method" on my neck (look up Mantic59's video on YouTube to learn how two do this).6. Fourth pass is "against the grain" again using my Gillette Fusion razor for any clean up and the ability to use the little blade on the back of the razor (usually hear my nose). Because this is only a clean up pass, not much is used and the razors last quite some time to reduce expense.7. Cold water rinse.8. Use a pea-sized amount of "444" aftershave gel and mix in a bit of Proraso aftershave lotion. 444 can be exclusively purchased from ItalianBarber.com and is used to mix with a variety of products to help cool the skin (it's basically concentrated glycerin). People can mix it with cologne, other lotions, aftershaves, etc.9. After it dries down a bit, apply some Creed cologne and I'm good to go!This routine takes about 30 minutes, but your skin is worth it and will feel amazing all day long. I don't get "five o'clock shadow" until at least 10pm.
