Proraso shave cream in Bricks and Mortor store???

**Ticman** · 10-28-2008, 07:10 AM

any stores carry Proraso here in the States or do you have to order online?

how does Proraso compare to C.O. Bigelow product (claims to be repackaged Proraso and available in Bath & Body Works).

Also saw some posts on Omega? comments? internet only or B& M stores too.

Thanks all,'

Mike

I've never tried "real" Proraso, but the general consensus is that it's the same stuff.

So.. get thee to B&BW and check it out!

I've tried both and they are the same to me.

same product, as indicated on the box, and is available at any bath and body works (BBW) store in many malls in the US. Look for BBW coupons on line before visiting the store!

Omega is supposedly the same as well, a little less expensive but ingredients slightly different (coconut oil), have not seem Omega other than on line in the states-very comprable to Proraso/Bigelow

the omega cream is made by proraso but does not carry the same essential oils, so while the base is the same, the smell and cooling effect might not,

For a short time Target carried Proraso cream, Pre/Post and ASB... Man those were the days!

They ceased offering the product line in Jan, 2007. The close out sale was half-price, too. It sure was convenient while it lasted, caused quite a stir when they dropped the product line.

You may find the odd store that offers Proraso, but realistically you either order from your preferred e-tailer, or you do the B&BW route. IMO, the C.O. Bigelow is the same stuff.

One person (somewhere in Canada) scored a bunch of Proraso products by shopping in an Italian market.

I've done some casual looking for it in some of the Italian stores around here in NJ, but I have yet to find any.

With Proraso so readily available via mail-order, though, its a moot point. Its not hard to find.

thanks all for the info.

went to BB&W and ran into a buy one get one sale. So 2 tubes cost me $10.

I tried it and it was like the Proraso I remember from the Target days.
