At the B&BW's in Michigan it is buy 2 get 2 free. The first one I went to only had two big ones and a bunch of small ones. I said screw that I'm not getting ripped off. So I had them call another local one and hold four large ones. Good deal :)

I picked up mine this afternoon. I have never tried any of the CO Bigelow products and can't wait to shave in the morning.

Saw this thread and thought it'd be a good idea to get a nice product on the cheap, but I didn't see the Poraso and instead came home with two bottles of this ----> http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2678282&cp=3103637.3103646.3110102&parentPage=family

What is this anyway?

In fact, nothing comes when I search for Poraso on their web site...hmm.

I saw that at my Bath and Body Works too. As of yet there is no review of that product on this site. So let us know how it works out for you. I am kind of curious to know if it is something you can work with a brush, or not. Some so called "brushless" creams disintegrate into nothing, if you attempt to work them with a brush.

If you do a search for Proraso on Bath, and Body Works, nothing will come up. You need to search for C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream, here is the link:

http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2257431&cp=&sr=1&kw=shave+cream&origkw=shave+cream&parentPage=search


My Bath and Body Works was out of the large tubes of the shaving cream, so I picked up two of the smaller tubes for a mere $5.30. When I returned today to buy some of the Aftershave balm, they only had two tubes of the shave cream in stock. No, I didn't buy it, but I should have, since at $5.30 for two tubes, it's a great deal!!

I may be wrong, but just because the shaving cream is made by Poraso doesn't mean that every CO Bigelow product is. They may just outsource the actual shaving cream in a tube. I saw that product there as well when I picked up my tubes.

I understand....guess I was just confused by all the green tubes and bottles that they had on display. Lol.

I was rushing to find the stuff before they closed and forgot what it looked like exactly. If I don't use it, maybe my father would like it.

If you can't find it brick and mortar, I think the same deal is good online...

Thanks for the head up on the sale. I picked up two of the big tubes today, and two bottles of Elixer Black ASB. All they had in the C. O. Bigelow display was the travel tube, but after some digging through a bin I found two of them. During my search one of the ladies told me that they had changed the packaging and now only would have the travel tubes. I hope that is not going to be the case.

I went back to my B & BW today to acquire the last two tubes on the shelf. I asked if there was anymore in the back, and said it sometimes comes in a bigger tube.

The clerk indicated that the larger tubes had been discontinued. :eek::frown:

They also didn't have anymore in the back, but did have about 4 tubes there were part of a gift set.

I have a feeling they were right. :frown: I was lucky enough to find another store with four large tubes remaining, but according to the BBW website the product is unavailable. I don't know if that means forever or if they are indicating it was discontinued...

I saw tubes of it today, they were only $5.00. Are these the travel size you guys are speaking of?

I picked up 4 tubes yesterday. Better stock up!!

Im not sure if this is true this is or not, but the person at B&BW told me that once they sell it all they arent planning on carrying CO Bigelow cream anymore. :eek:

But it could have been a sales tactic.. :confused:

That's the travel size. The "large tubes" are 5.2oz.

I asked the nice lady in the store that same question, and she said they will have it back in stock (probably after the sale ends)

I hope she is correct!

I guess I should've picked up a couple of the travel tubes as well when I was there. They told me Saturday that the sale would be on until July 3rd, so I figured I'd wait until my next trip...see what my hesitation got me.

There were a ton of the travel tubes there yesterday, now I wonder if I should have picked a few up. I haven't used this brand yet, but I am sort of a pack rat that way.

It's not Proraso. That stuff is a spray in gel form. You simply spray it on.

Thanks for the tip. I grabbed a large Prosaro/Bigelow green tube of shave cream yesterday and used it for the first time ever this morning. I see why folks say what they do about Prosaro. I thought was very nice and I got great lather using very little product.

I too picked up a couple of tubes of the Bigelow stuff at BBW. Only ones they had were $5 a tube so picked them up. I did ask the lady if they were discontinuing the line and she said not that she had heard of.

Had first shave with it this morning and really enjoyed it. The eucalyptus is nice and the lather was good. Very smooth shave! I might have to go get a few more tubes to keep me well stocked.

I think you have me beat. I picked up the following:

4 small tubes of the shaving cream
1 Elxir Green Aftershave Balm
1 Elxir Red Aftershave Balm
3 Containers of Bath and Body Works Liquid Hand Soap.

I have two 20% off coupons for Bath and Body Works, if they restock the C.O. Bigelow Large Tube at my local store, I might just have to pick one of them up!!
