You'll notice that our soap may take a bit more water than you're used to, in order to achieve the ideal lather. That's actually one of our biggest points of difference -- the result of its manufacturing process -- and what makes Proraso soap so special. Because it has a much lower moisture content than other shave soaps, you'll need more water on your shaving brush (we'd suggest soaking it for a few minutes prior to lathering), and perhaps just a touch more patience at first, to achieve that signature Proraso lather: rich, dense, elastic, and one that doesn't dry out. Once you do, you'll really see the difference (and why it's become such a staple of shaving culture over the last 6 decades).
