CO Bigelow Shaving Cream Proraso made

justchillin · 03-24-2008, 01:06 PM

After returning that nasty cream by Anthony at Bath and Body Works. The salesperson asked me if there was anything else they could do for me. So I said yes, I need a good shaving cream. So they took me over to the CO Bigelow wall and gave me the Shaving cream made for them by Proraso.

I remember someone had mentioned on SRP about Proraso so I fiugred I'd give it a try.

I'm so glad I did, It lathered up very nicely. I squeezed some onto my wet brush and swirled it up in my bowl. I had lathered up and my mother in law knocked on the bathroom door needing to use the loo. My downstairs bathroom needs replacing. I let her in and I walk over to my computer room all lathered up and waited for her to finish. A couple of minutes later I hear some lysol spraying, I went back to the bathroom and I was expecting to find my face all covered with dry lather. To my surpirse, I still had a nice faceful of lather .

So for $10.00 and a nice minty feeling with long lasting lather. I give CO Bigelow Shave cream thumbs up.

It leaves a nice minty feeling on the face.

I'll second that...

When things go wrong with any other soap or creme the CO/Proraso comes to the rescue.

I find C.O. Bigelow/Proraso to be a good performing cream but I'm not a fan of the menthol. It irritates my skin a bit, unfortunately. . .

I have to keep a tube on hand at all times

I picked up a tube last weekend and used it a couple of times. I really liked the burn. Good slick and a nice shave. The only issue I had was it dried out my scalp a little.

In addition to all the other positive comments made, I'd like to add one new point.

Proraso is very easy to use insofar as you can use a bit too much water or not quite enough and still get a great lather. I actually like to add a bit of water as I go; I find less water initially gives a thicker lather with more cushion, but adding more water for the touchups makes the lather more transparent so I can see better, and it becomes a bit slicker as well.
