    We've missed you. How are you holding up since your last order? Hope the withdrawals aren't too rough on you.

    I just picked some up on Friday and I really enjoy it. Not sure if it's the same stuff, but looking at the other posts it seems to be. I'd give it 2 thumbs up for the smell and feeling of during the shave.

    JoAnna is right, she probably thought you were nuts before, I know mine does. :D

    :happy102 She keeps trying to draw me into the collective, but I keep resisting.

    Resistance is Futile.... haha :happy102

    I have yet to try ether cannot find bigalow cream. Have everything but the SC. Then Poraso all i can find are the tubs no tubes of cream... I do not like the scent of the tubs but might have to give them a second chance.

    Still? Really? It was discontinued at most Targets a few years ago.

    I've tried both and I like the C.O. Bigelow a little more. Not sure why though. Maybe because I tried the Bigelow first.

    I've never tried proraso, but I tried C.O. for the first time last night. It's the good stuff. I don't see myself going back to canned stuff.

    To be completely honest, your probably right. I did pick up a tube of Proraso cream approximately, I'd say 6-7 months ago. Right around Xmas time if I remember correctly.. But as Roger Clemen's said, Andy Petite "MisRemendered" about when I took performence enhancing Drugs.. What a TOOL!!!!

    Just picked up my first tube of Bigelow today at B&BW. Already made a practice lather & WOW is all I can say. So much easier to lather with my boar brush than my Col. Conk lime glycerin soap. I love the scent and don't see myself using my soap much now that I have this. Perhaps I'll play around making some superlather & see what happens.

    I have to agree about the wives thinking we're nuts. I've been facefirst in my iPhone watching both mantic & geo vids. If you really want to freak out your wife, just let her watch as you strop your DE blade on your forearm!

    It's great. I use it all the time. Bath and Body Works actually has a buy 2 get one free sale on the cream now.

    Bigelow was my first cream also. I found it at B&BW last summer and really liked it at first. I still like it, but now that I have used Palmolive and Florena creams and IM stick, I find that I use it less and less. I'm almost out of my last tube, so I won't buy any more for a while.
    Still, it's a nice performer overall. I do like the menthol and if you buy it on special it's a great deal. (Especially if you can find it locally.)
