    yes C.O. Bigelow is the easiest cream to find locally for me and am a big fan. I like combining it w/ tabac in a uber/super lather, cushion and cooling nice!

    Yep. That is the Wal-mart soap I get. I like the C.O. Bigelow much better.

    It's not bad at all, but not every B&BW sells it, unfortunately. The one in my town doesn't (of course) but the one an hour away does. For those of you who like it, check out Omega cream also. Very similar (also made by Proraso) and the Omega sells for a bit less on E-bay. One guy is selling the large tubes for $7 or so now. I actually prefer the scent of Omega a bit more, although the difference is minimal.

    Default Cream me!

    I was in S.F. today at the Westfield mall, and wandered in to the Bath and Body Works. It is a large store, but the men's section was VERY small.

    Anyway, I picked up a tube of this cream, and will use it tomorrow. It has a nice smell .... I look forward to shaving with it.

    See ya,

    Steve

    P.S.

    It is a good buy for the price ... only $10.00 ... not bad.

    Ah went w/ the big tube, they make a smaller travel size for $5, you'll love the stuff there is better out there but for the price and ease of finding this stuff it is damn good

    should be mentioned that it contains menthol so you might feel a light cooling sensation (I thought I was having an allergic reaction the fist time)

    I like combining Proraso with Tabac as well. That makes a nice combination. The Proraso is a very good cooling cream... a little too cooling for use in some areas IMO
