    +1. I have the C.O. Bigelow repackage from Bath & Body Works and I like it.

    Just used the Bigelow/Proraso cream the other day and I used the white "soap" today...love Proraso

    for additional opinions, you might want to check the reviews section also

    menthol is awesome, especially with a coldwater wash at the end of the shave

    I normally dislike menthol and eucalyptus, but CO Bigelow is one of my favorite creams. Give it a try.

    Do other things with menthol (say, Aqua Velva AS) have the same effect? I seem to recall some percentage of people are sensitive to the eucalyptus, rather than the menthol.

    I like the soap and the cream (and the pre-shave). I will note that the Bigelow cream seems to be about the same formula, but it has much more water and is runnier than the real Proraso. So you'll use a drier brush and more cream with the Bigelow than with the genuine Proraso cream, which is very thick.

    i liked the Green tub until i used the White, which i now like better. i have sensitive skin though. i tried the pre shave cream and didn't find it to make a difference at the time, but i may try it again as it didn't make things worse.

    my only problem with it is that it really isn't natural and has quite a few chemicals in it i guess. not a big deal to most but is something to keep in mind. definitely easy to use and great for someone getting into wet shaving for that reason.

    I haven't used the cream in a tube, but I have used the little green tub with great results! Its simply one of the easiest soaps to lather. Plus, its very inexpensive and readily available, so if you want to lather right on the soap, its okay! Not sure where you'd find it locally, but almost every major drugstore chain has it, at least in Canada. I'm sure there are members here closer to you who could point you in the right direction! Welcome and enjoy!

    Smile proraso shaving soap

    I use proraso shaving soap with aloe and green tea. The smell takes me back to downtown Havana 50's and the smell of diesel smoke from the public buses, it is also a good shaving soap. Juan.
