I second giving Stirling a go. They have tons of scents to pick from which can be overwhelming, but that’s a good thing. Grab a few samples and see what you like.
Proraso is decent soap, but nothing special. The “sensitive skin” aspect is purely marketing.
For me, even once I started wetshaving it took me a couple of years to realize I should skip going against the grain on my neck. That stopped the irritation for me.
I still get frag burn sometimes – Stirling Barbershop for example. That’s another benefit of getting samples.
Blades are the other thing that makes a difference for me. A lot of people like Feather and Astra SP, but both of those blades bother me.
