This Proraso Shaving Soap in a Bowl softens even the thickest and coarsest beards, allowing the blade to glide easily and making the beard easier to shave. This formula is made using Proraso's signature "hot soap" process, resulting in a very rich soap that produces a superior lather. Enriched with Sandalwood Oil for its calming and soothing effect, and Shea Butter to keep skin soft and supple, skin is left moisturized and nourished, protected from razor burn, and with the warm, woodsy scent of Sandalwood.
