Ward's Reviews - C.O Bigelow Premium Shave Cream

[omegapd]

The last time I stopped in a Bath and Body Works (month ago maybe?) they even had the CO Bigelow in a canned foam to go along with the large and small tubes. Thought that was interesting...

Emcee, the Proraso tube you have linked is the same thing as the CO Bigelow so it should be just fine. I've never seen it in a huge tube like that. Pretty neat. The Proraso shaving soap is just as good as the cream, also.

thx, bud. just ordered me up that huge tube, think it'll last me awhile. i sure hope they get it back to B&BWs in the future as it's way more convenient than ordering online.

i recently made the mistake of trying to switch it up to Zirh shaving cream which was way too runny/not a good lather for my liking, made me instantly miss my C.O. Big. went to mall to return Zirh to Macys then to Bath and Bods to find no more tubes of the cream. just that canned foam (which i heard is butt mud by the way).

I don't use the C.O. Bigelow on my head, but I do on my face.  I went to two Bath and Body Works stores and was told they quit making the shave cream in the tube, and they only have the cans of foam.  I bought a can and it is okay, but I don't like it as much as the tube.  I may go ahead and order online while I can, in case they are discontinuing it.

Man I'm glad I stocked up on a 3 for 10 deal.  I use it daily with a superlather of Nana June's Spearmint/Eucalyptus Glycerin shave soap.  It is awesome!

I used the tube for the first time this morning and I agree that it was an awesome, close shave.  5 bucks was worth it.  I also use Bald Guyz shave gel and love it, also. 

1.  Bigelow gave me a closer all around shave than Bald Guyz with 1 pass.

2.  Bald Guyz stayed more moist and less re-wetting time with great results, also.

If you put those 2 in a bag and I just reached in and grabbed one, I would be completely happy with either.

Did you use a shave brush?  If not that should cure #2

[reb123161]

Gambrinus, I did this morning and you are correct!  The brush solved the moisture problem.  Bigelow is really a great product---might be the only shave cream I will now use!  Thanks for the tip, brother.

Not a problem.  And as for an update on the availability.  I stopped by B&BW the other day and they had large and small tubes.

Rob I would put it at the top of that list.  By far the best shaving creme I have tried to-date.

I just tried it out yesterday C.O Bigelow is still and B&BW and it was 5 bucks for a small tube 10 for a large one. I saw that this was an old post and I just picked up so they have it back on the shelfs. It was some really good stuff and plan to keep using it. plus the had a a buy 2 products get one free going so I stocked up.
