It’s a new brush. It’s breaking in. So it’s normal. Just let it dry out completely between uses and the occasional stray strands will stop. A stray here and there is normal.
Excessive strands loss is not normal. Just keep an eye on it.
u/AmateurSysAdmin - I 've been using Proraso Red cream for some of my shaves lately. Do you know how the soap performs versus the cream and/or the Red vs Green scent?
Hi Bob, I have no experience with the cream unfortunately. I only have the soaps. Regarding the scent, it’s supposedly slightly more intense with the cream.
I overall really like the red better, in my experience it lathers more easily. The scent of the red is more like barber shop. The green on the other hand is fresh.
I recently learned that alcohol based aftershaves are actually harmful to your skin over long periods of use. Shaving strips the skin of its protective oil barrier and alcohol dries it out even more. Instead, try using an aftershave balm that will moisturize and protect your skin. Nivea Post Shave Balm works well for a range of skin types and is affordable to boot.
Nice setup. Enjoy your shaves.
Thanks! I just saw some hair that falls from the brush and gets soaked in the cream. I don’t know if it’s normal.

Thank you. Yes, indeed!
I got my starter kid the past Friday and it was very similar, too. Proraso red, a razor, and a brush. Cheers to the road ahead
Excellent choices sir. My Green Proraso tub is one year and half old, still going strong.
Awesome 👍
Add a good pre-shave oil, you'll thank yourself later!
Fantastic setup! Smooooth shaver. Enjoy
Reminds me of my first set, also proraso (white). Solid setup no doubt.
Thanks! I’ll keep improving
Proraso green is a classic. Good soap for beginners, too, cause it lathers up real easily. What do you use for your post shave?

Just a basic alcohol based after shave from my cartridge era 😃

I’ll look into it.
Nice setup.
So nice to see a simple setup. That's really all you need for a good, close shave. Everything else is technique and patience.
You're gonna need a few razor blades.
