Apparently the Italians really love menthol/eucalyptus shaving creams or soaps made by same company that makes proraso and for omega formerly , Ive found it locally in Bath and Body works, because proraso is near hard to find in my country, this one is near identical to the original proraso and it perfoms the same as omega and same nice medicinal menthol and eucalyptus oil scent same cooling effect great lather and lifespan is very stable and awesome product.

Nice stuff. I love the smell.
Weird thing: I'm not too crazy about using it with really aggressive razors since the übercool sensation kind of feels like I'm taking some skin, but it's just the menthol/eucalyptus.

I recently bought 3 tubes of it. There are crazy sales that are buy2get2 free and you can use coupons like $10 off...silly, silly prices for such a quality product.
Exactly *WHO* is having sales where? Neither of you has even got a home base location added to your member profiles, as of 8:30 AM, Saturday, CDST, you know.
The stuff almost felt too cold for me the first few times I used it - felt like my face was numb. I must have gotten used to it over time, doesn't feel that extreme anymore. But very nice when its hot. I use it mostly when I'm in a hurry - I know I can squeeze out a portion, take my once shaken Rooney 3/1 in pure to it, and straight to the face, no extra water needed. Saves a few precious minutes on those mornings where I'm cutting it close!
Bath and Body Works. Their sales are for both their brick and mortar as well as their website. I probably wouldn't recommend signing up for their e-mail promotions, but it's usually at least buy2get1.
Really can't go wrong with this stuff. It's cheap (BBW is always having buy 2 get one free sales), it smells great and does the job!
I wonder if C.O. Bigelow will go with the new Proraso formulation. I have only three tubes left of the current formulation.
I vacu-sealed my 3 tubes for just that reason.
Sweet. you don't have to buy shaving cream again until.... roughly 2017 or so. HAHAHAHA.
idk though, I use a tube of Bigelow's on and off, maybe once a week, since December, and I'm not even 1/2 way through it. I would never buy 3 tubes, I would get tired of it and just want it gone already so I could try something else before even cracking open the second tube!

One tube for me last about 6 month alternating it one another cream....last time I bought three, I sent my brother one...good stuff....and frequently they have it here in Jacksonville for buy2get1free PLUS 20% off....so it works out to be $16 or so for three tubes....crazy!
There was a sale on the BST forum a couple months back for something like 22 tubes, and one guy bought them all.
Here it is, but it was only 20 tubes

It is great stuff.
Really should of researched this thread before posting one of my own after discovering this cream.. Eh Newbie mistake (only 9 months in)
Agree. I bought 3 and sold 2 of them. It is good stuff, but I also like some variety and couldn't be faithful to one cream long enough to use up three tubes consecutively.
Funny i told the lady same thing. She was like oh those are 3 for 2. I'm like yeah I don't need 2 years worth of Shaving cream. Stupid deal lol. Unless you split it with 2 other friends.
