    Picked up a large tube of the Bigelow cream - essentially to replace my last one (great for travelling).
    This new tube seems to have a different consistency - almost watery. Sort of drips out of the tube.
    Seem to remember the previous tube was much firmer. Actually had to add a bit of water to get it going

    Now that being said - it whipped up a storm of a lather in the bowl.
    Not sure how it would work trying to apply it directly to the face for lathering.

    Probably over-thinking this.
    Wins on economics and lather.
    Just doesn't look right.....

    Try massaging the tube to remix the ingredients.

    :signs011: C.O. Bigelow(aka Proraso green) was my gateway shave cream. Still have the $10 tube.

    Bump an old thread. I picked up 3 small tubes of Bigelow from Bath and Bodyworks. They were on sale 3 for $12.

    Great cream. Maybe biased as I'm already a fan of Proraso.

    RyX DoH!

    C.O.B. was my first menthol shave product. I haven't finished the tube, but now I have a tub of Proraso White & Red soap, and Proraso Refresh AS Lotion. Good Stuff!

    C.O.B was a great gateway cream. When I don't feel like using my Proraso I break it out and go to town.

    Just about finished my 2nd big tube of C.O.B and while I look forward to trying other creams. I've really taking a liking to it.

    Got a great menthol Monday shave with it this morning.
