The cooling effect is a bit much for me but I love the lather and smell of it. It's quite the pickle...

Williams and Bigelow is a great combo. I use it almost daily. The lemon (citronella) and eucalyptus go very well together. Follow it up with some Aqua Velva for a great finish.
Where do you get My Time Bath & Body? Though it does sound like a kids book name to try to get your kid to take a bath.
Depending on your location, I might could arrange for someone to clean you out of all these products.....
I used to think the same but now I can't live without the cooling effect !The cooling effect is a bit much for me but I love the lather and smell of it. It's quite the pickle...

I just mixed CO's cream with Mama Bears aged spice. I like both alone and together it was a really slick/smooth combo. I was wonder'n how the scents would mix but it was pleasant.
I'm going on vacation this weekend and have been searching for a shave stick or some good travel-sized shave cream (NOT goo in a can) locally since I'm not going to take my bowl and soap. Been to every grocery store and pharmacy with no luck. There was a giant bottle of King of Shaves at CVS, but that defeats the whole "travel" part.
I think I'll pick up some of this!
I'll be taking my Tech in a mint tin (idea I saw on here) with some foam in it to hold everything.
Also, I have a new travel-sized badger brush I scored from an antiques shop last week for $1...think it's a Simpson.

I dont think you will be disappointed with the CO Bigelow... locally availble and just ='s a great shave every time I have used it.
Well, picked some up for my trip tomorrow...used it this morning for the first time with my Tech and travel badger brush in a mug (going to be taking those two pieces)...
I LOVED IT.
I think I get a better lather with my soap, but the Bigelow felt awesome...loved the cooling effect and smell.
Got a great shave, even on my neck with 6 passes
, although I peeled my Adam's apple. 
Syptic pencil took care of it...with some burning.
This will be my travel cream...maybe even my home cream too, although I think I still prefer soap. Now if I could find some soap that feels like this...that would be perfection. Is there one out there?

Um, yeah. You could pick up some Proraso soap.
Does Bath and Body Works sell it? If not, I won't be able to find it locally...few limited around here, no real shave shops.

C.O. Bigelow does not sell a shaving soap in stores that I have seen. But you could goto walmart or cvs/pharmacy and pickup VDH deluxe (pink one) or williams and get a lil superlather going.
No as BBW doesn't carry the actual Poraso products (at least NTMK) but it is readily available online.
I guess I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm one of the few for whom it feels like lathering with a urinal cake.
definately provides a nice shave, but I can't wait until I get access to the B/S/T Forum to trade it
