I agree..I recently started using the CO Bigelow I bought and it really is a great cream..and for the price really cant go wrong!

I like Bigelow during the summer months. The cooling effect is great!

Also, I got Proraso Sandalwood (red label) for Christmas. I like it, the lanolin is great, giving a smooth shave. The scent pairs well with Aramis aftershave.

The box looked the same as the old one, but when I read the ingredients, parabens were not listed. I compared it to the old formulation, and it was different. (What's a paraben, anyway??). The scent seemed the same, but I will see how it performs. I am not sure if anyone else has noticed, but the new formulation is available!

the current trend in cosmetics (shampoo, soaps) is to get rid of the parabens.
Parabens can cause cancer.

I also got the C.O. Bigelow cream for Christmas and gave it a shot today. There seems to be something in it that leaves my face feeling slicker after a pass than the Proraso cream I was using. Not complaining about it but just an initial observation. But I like it and will keep using it and the price is right.

I recieved some for Christmas, and I have a new near tube of the older Proraso I honestly didn't notice a difference but now that I know the formula changed I bet I do now hehehe
