    Now I am going to have to get some and try it. My wife loves that store so it shouldn't be difficult to get her to go with me. :)

    Ummm, no. I had an allergic reaction to the old Proraso, so I watched with interest when the new formula came out, and notified everybody on here last year when Bigelow labels started showing the new ingredients. I enjoy the new formula a lot, and have no problems with it.

    People think I'm crazy but I always felt that the C.O. cream was a little richer, creamier and slicker than the Proraso. They have about 99% of the same ingredients but I think the ratio might be a little different. Maybe I got an old tube of Proraso.

    Just noticed today Bath & Body Works is having a buy 2 get 1 free on anything C.O. Bigelow. Picked up 3 of the travel sized tubes for $10 which ends up about the same price and content as a single big tube. This will be my first cream and looking forward to trying as the Proaso green tub is one of my favorites.

    I tried C.O. Bigelow yesterday. It isn't my favorite but it certainly has a place in my rotation.

    About the same as Proraso. I think Proraso sells them their excess product ?

    I tried the C O Bigelow last night, boy it sure makes a nice lather. This was my first venture into the world of Shaving Creams and it was pleasant. Very good

    I am a fan of Bigelow. It's got a nice amount of menthol and it lathers really well. And I like the old school metal tube lol

    I, too, believe it is Proraso in disguise. Proraso is a much better value and one of my favs.

    I like it and keep it in my rotation. The local Bath and a Body Works has the special on pretty much all the time, or so it seems, which makes it a good deal as well as a good cream.

    While relatively new in that I haven't tried many creams, this one is the one I can get to a great lather every time in the shower!

    :signs011: I agree. Smells just like Proraso green and when I asked in a store where they sell it, they said it was.

    C.O. Bigelow is Proraso rebranded. It's the American brand name from Proraso.

    But, Proraso comes in a much bigger tube for less than the smaller sized C.O.

    You may be thinking of the small size CO Bigelow tube. They come in two sizes and the large one is the same 150 ml as Proraso. If you catch CO Bigelow on sale, you can get it a little cheaper.
