Thread: C.O. Bigelow Premium shave cream

Has anyone tried this I picked up some yesterday it got eucalypyus oil in it, it smells good haven't tried it but will tomorrow my wife wanted me to work up a lather to see how good it does but then it would have been wasted seeing I don't need to shave just yet It 5 bucks for a 4 oz tube(which is what I got) and 10 bucks for a 8 oz tube I will update everyone when its time to use it

Yes I have tried it. In fact I use it often.

It is made by Proraso in Italy.

It is really nice this time of year because of the way it feels on the skin. The cooling is very nice after a hot shower.

Hope you enjoy it.

Good product at a good price. It is also made by Proraso, a very popular manufacturer. It has an above average shaving performance. It does not lather like Truefitt and Hill or Castle Forbes (or The Bomb) but the difference in price compensates for that. People say that it lather in salt water, I have not tested it. The scent is very clean and neutral like Irish Spring or Zest soap but obviously it does not contain essential oils. The weakest aspect of this cream is the conditioning of the skin. Some people, including myself, find it too drying, particularly during the winter. As with everything else, you get what you pay for. If you search the forum under Proraso, you will find many threads that mention this cream.

Al raz.

Good Choice Wheelz!

I love the proraso, it's got a nice cool feel and great glide for the razor. Best of all it's a strong lather that lifts the beard really well. enjoy!

JoeD and I use it occasionally, It's a nice cream. We have so much to choose from it doesn't get used as often as it probably should be.

Nice choice.
