Proraso NZ | Italian Shaving & Beard Care | Zilion
Proraso in New Zealand
Proraso is the Italian barbershop brand behind some of the most recognisable shaving products in the world. Its pre-shave creams, shaving creams, soaps and after shaves come in four colour-coded lines, each built around a different set of ingredients, and the brand has expanded into beard care, colognes and traditional barber tools.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Proraso, with more than 100 products listed: the full shaving lines in tubes, tubs, foams and soap bowls, big professional sizes for barbers, beard shampoos, oils and balms, eau de colognes, brushes and a straight razor. If you are looking for a Proraso stockist in New Zealand with every line in one place, it is all here, priced in NZ dollars.
About Proraso
Proraso's approach is simple: prepare, shave, soothe. Each line has a pre-shave cream to soften the beard and protect the skin, a shaving cream, soap or foam for the shave itself, and an after shave balm or lotion to finish. Because every line follows the same three steps, it is easy to match products and build a routine that suits your skin.
The colour tells you which ingredients you are getting. Green (Refreshing) uses eucalyptus oil and menthol for a cool, invigorating shave and is the line that made Proraso famous in Italian barbershops. White (Sensitive) uses green tea and oatmeal for delicate or easily irritated skin. Red (Nourishing) uses sandalwood and shea butter for coarse beards and drier skin, and Blue (Protective) uses aloe vera and vitamin E for a moisturising shave.
Alongside the colour lines are three fragrance families for beard care and colognes: Wood & Spice, Azur Lime and Cypress & Vetyver. Barbers will also find the Professional range of 275ml to 500ml tubes, 300g tubs and 400ml after shave lotions.

What does Proraso pre-shave cream do?
It softens the beard and creates a protective layer before shaving, which helps the razor glide and reduces irritation. Apply it before your shaving cream.
Can I use Proraso pre-shave cream on its own?
Pre-shave cream is designed to go on before a shaving cream or soap. Some people with very light stubble shave with it alone, but most get the best result using both.
What is the difference between Proraso shaving cream and shaving soap?
Both are lathered with a brush. The tube cream is softer and lathers quickly, while the soap bowl is firmer and is loaded onto a damp brush before lathering.
What are Proraso shaving foams?
They are 300ml aerosol foams in Green, White and Red that you can use straight from the can without a brush.

Balms are creamy, moisturising and gentler on the skin. Lotions are splash-on, more refreshing and more fragrant.

Beard shampoo, beard oil and beard balm in Wood & Spice, Azur Lime, Cypress & Vetyver and Refreshing Green, plus Moustache Wax and a Beard Exfoliating Paste.
What does Proraso Beard Oil do?
It softens and conditions facial hair and the skin beneath, and leaves the scent of the line you choose.
What is the difference between Proraso beard oil and beard balm?
Oil is lighter and focuses on softness and hydration. Balm conditions too but adds light hold to shape the beard and tame flyaways.
What is the Beard Exfoliating Paste?
It is a 100ml mint and rosemary paste that cleanses and exfoliates the skin under the beard.
What do the Proraso colognes smell like?
Wood & Spice is warm and woody, Azur Lime is fresh citrus, and Cypress & Vetyver is green and earthy.

Wash your face with warm water, massage in pre-shave cream, lather the shaving cream with a brush, shave with the grain, rinse with cool water and finish with an after shave balm or lotion.
How much Proraso shaving cream should I use?
About a hazelnut-sized amount is enough for one shave when lathered with a brush.
How do I lather Proraso shaving cream?
Soak your brush in warm water, shake it out, add a small amount of cream to the brush or a bowl and whisk until you have a thick, creamy lather.
How do I use the Proraso Hot Face Towel?
Soak the towel in hot water, wring it out and press it on your face for a minute or two before shaving to soften the beard.
How do I use the Proraso straight razor?
Insert a new blade, hold the razor at a shallow angle to the skin and shave with short, controlled strokes with the grain. Straight razors take practice, so go slowly at first.
How do I use Proraso Beard Balm?
Warm a small amount between your palms and work it through a dry or towel-dried beard, then comb into shape.
How often should I wash my beard with Proraso Beard Shampoo?
Two or three times a week suits most beards. On other days, rinse with water and use beard oil.
Can I mix Proraso colour lines?

Is Proraso good for women?
Yes. The shaving creams and foams work well for legs, and the White Sensitive line is a gentle option.

Start with the White Sensitive line, shave with the grain and finish with the Sensitive Aftershave Balm. If problems persist, see your GP or pharmacist.
