C.O. Bigelow / Lucky Tiger

[markh58]

Has anyone had a good / bad experience using C.O. Bigelow or Lucky Tiger soaps or creams ?

Love C.O. Bigelow...it's rebranded green Proraso...I don't know anyone who has had a "bad" experience. This stuff works - if you like menthol or at least don't mind menthol then give it a go. Two thumbs up from me.

Have yet to try Lucky Tiger but I hear good things...believe it is orange-y....can't hurt to give it a try.

The Bigelow is rebranded Proraso. It is my favorite cream and you can get it on sale multiple times throughout the year from Bath & Body. It works great, is very easy to lather, and has a slight menthol kick. I've not used the LT, but have read several posts on here about poor lather from the product. I do like the LT aftershave, it has a light citrus scent.

The 2 times I've used Lucky Tiger shave cream, I've had nothing but good luck creating a thick, heavy lather. It is a great product for me. Maybe it's my water, or that fact that I used a bit more than was recommended. Of course, YMMV.

Bigelow is awesome, 'nuff said! You can sometimes get pretty great deals (buy 2 get 1 free, $10 off $30 purchase, etc) from bath&body. The only LT product I've used so far is their hair tonic, and it works pretty well. It seems to be citrus-y, like FonGu said of the AS above.

Great results with both. Luck Tiger is by far the best calmer of raw skin, IMHO.

CO Bigelow is a great, reliable, easy to whip cream with great cooling effects.

It is my understanding that Lucky Tiger shave cream was not intended to be lathered. I've never shaved with it, but I've smelled it and it's deliciously orangey.

If I beat my face up, I reach for Lucky Tiger. I've never used the cream so I cannot speak to the lather but the AS splash and vanishing cream are great.
