Proraso, AKA C. O. Bigelow is my favorite lather.

I also bought the Proraso soap, and the Proraso tea aloe soap. I can't really tell the difference.

people often claim that proraso and c.o. bigelow are the same thing.. however.. the bigelow is not nearly as menthol intense as proraso.. i did a two day comparison and the bigelow is slightly lighter.. yet still very nice.
i could hardly tell the difference either.. my brother in law had to bring it to my attention before i took notice.. and even then i had to test them both before i could confirm..
i have yet to try omega.. but i'm told it's more soapy than the others as well. or i read it somewhere.. i don't remember exactly.. perhaps someone else could chime in..?
FWIW, they have a fantastic bay rum aftershave that is very nice as well. As far as the shave cream, I am more of a soap man but it is pretty darn nice stuff for the price!
Great cream, and yes, it is actually just plain old Proraso in a different tube, but still, good stuff.
The best thing about the C.O. Bigelow packaging is the fact that you can get it in a much smaller tube than Proraso. The small 1.7oz/48g tube:tu is excellent for travelling. I have one in my travel kit that I use all the time. The Proraso tube is too big to carry around the world when you are travelling a lot.
Bought mine from C.O. Bigelow pharmacy in NYC.
I use the C.O. Bigelow at least 2 times per week. I have other soaps and creams, but I LOVE how this stuff lathers and how it makes my face feel. I use a C.O. Bigelow "mentha" body lotion as an aftershave (it has peppermint oil in it) and my face feels like it is on ice for a good 30 minutes. I give a 10+!:beer2:
Haven't tried out the other C.O. Bigelow products, but they have a lot of great stuff in their store.
I too love it and use in more then more expensive brands I have.
