I know Target used too, I have forgotten which brick & mortar store sells it... Maybe an online source?
Who sells Proraso?
- Thread starter D'Brie

Bath & Body Works (at most major shopping malls) carries C.O. Bigelow's Shaving Cream ... it is made in Italy by Proraso (as stated on the the box.) $10 for a 5oz metal(!) tube. It comes in a distinctive bright green box. You can often find it on a B1G1 sale, or catch it bundled with other Bigelow products.
If you have a Bath & Body Works they sell Proraso under the C.O. Bigelow brand. The tubes look like this:

Looks like the guys have you covered. I just get the Bigelow from B&BW.
Ah, Let me Google that for you. An internet classic!
You can also try this.
Now that is good!
Thanks for the B&BW info guys.
Wow that freaked me out man! Very very funny indeed.

If you can't find it anywhere locally, westcoastshaving will take care of you. 
What the heck?! You guys are getting ripped off! My local Bath & Body Works sells the 5 oz tube for $5, and the 10oz tube for $10!
Actually, I want to know where you're buying yours from. It only comes in the large 5 oz tubes and 1.7 oz travel tubes as far as I am aware.
I think someone is confuzzled..

About 3 weeks ago I went in to buy some C.O. Bigelow. I was running low on my Proraso, and figured I would give it a shot. They recommended the 10 oz, which they said they just got, so it is possible I was getting some promotional pricing to try and sell the 10 oz tubes. But honestly, it comes in a 10 oz. I bought the 5 oz, because 10 seemed like a big commitment when I had 3 soaps and 3 creams on their way in the mail.
Stop by and see if your local B&BW are carrying the 10oz.
UPDATE--So I decided to call my friend who works in the Victoria's Secret across from the B&BW in my mall (they happen to employ most of the same girls). She buys the stuff to shave her legs and pits, and was the one who suggested I go in and get some C.O. Bigelow. Apparently, the 8 oz is "in trial markets" and they are going to stop selling the stuff in the store sometime this month. The cheap prices are promotional prices to get the few guys who do buy it to buy the larger tubes. I was mistaken as to there being a 10 oz tube. My apologies.
Why Saginaw, MI is a trial market, I don't know. This at least provided some clarity to this whole situation.

A 10oz tube of shave cream would be double the size of average cream tubes (more than double the size of some).
Ah, interesting. I'd never buy a tube that big because I'd never use it all, I have so many.
The 5 oz tube is big enough, if you ask me. I realized as I was typing that I couldn't be right. 10 oz is A LOT. It was worth being called a weirdo for calling at 11:30 at night to ask about shaving stuffs to find out what was up.
If you think about though, 8 oz isn't that crazy. Aren't most tubs 7 oz?
I'd totally buy the 8oz. I use the stuff at least twice a week. I'm on my 3rd 5oz tube in almost 2 years. I'll have to check and see if we are "trial market" in Cleveland.
8 ounces? Why not go all the way:
I don't understand why the giant economy size is in that crappy plastic tube. Why not just package it in a tub and be done with it?

Holy crap! That is one awesomely oversized tube of the Pro.
