C.O. Bigelow cream no more?

Yesterday I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by the C.O. Bigelow store. I noticed they had Proraso cream, pre-post, both tubs of soap, aftershave splash and AS balm/cream...pretty much all flavors of Proraso (had to pick up a green tub of soap and the AS splash to round out the collection).

I just realized this morning that I didn't see any of their branded shave cream. Did they stop selling the Proraso cream in their own packaging? I know it was being blown out at B&BW but I thought that had to do more with the store changing it's lineup than C.O. Bigelow itself.

C.O. Bigelow are the USA agents for Proraso. Maybe they decided to just sell the Proraso products instead of one product under two different names:confused1 This makes a lot of sense to me... I never understood why they would re-brand the same product when they are already the USA agents.
 
I was thinking the same thing. Spending the $$ to rebrand Proraso maybe wasn't paying off?
 
I don't know I got loaded up when they had a sale earlier this year I got 4 big tubes for 20 bucks. I super lather so I won't need anymore for a year or 2.
 
Same here. Stocked up. I have one open tube and 2 under the sink. I gave some to my brother-in-law and father and friend this summer, too!
 
So is B&BW still carrying Bigelow, or have they switched to Proraso? I haven't been in one for a while, but I've never seen anything branded Proraso there.
 
I think B&BW stopped carrying the C.O. Bigelow stuff which may be why C.O. stopped packaging their own altogether and are now only carrying Proraso (if that's even true). Makes sense to me.

Hate threads like this. I ended up ordering 2 tubes of cream, along with a bottle of Bay Rum Aftershave balm. Got one tube free, and got 1 dollar off shipping by using a freemens in the coupon code. Didn't need more cream, just couldn't pass up the one free deal. Oh well, I am stocked up now.

They clearanced out the aftershave balm, not the shave cream. Right now all C.O. Bigelow products are on sale at 2 for 1 at B&BW, not just the shave cream. Every sales person I've spoken to at a B&BW says the shave cream is one of their biggest sellers, so I'd be surprised if Bigelow were to stop packaging it and B&BW were to stop selling it.
 
I've been wanting to try a Bigelow ASB. Good thing I never got my hands on one; I hate falling in love with out-of-production items. Wife excluded, of course.
 
Which is unfortunate, because the Elixir Blue was one of my favorites. Ah, well. I'll finish my bottle and move on.

Agreed. I really liked the unscented and the Elixir Red. And now you can't even get the elixir ones on the Bigelow website. I e-mailed them for information but haven't heard back after a few days.

They stopped carrying it? I was in my B&BW last week, and they had increased the amount of space dedicated to C.O. products.
