Proraso Products at Bath and Body Works Under the C.O. Bigelow Name
Proraso is an old-school Italian shaving brand which wasn't seen much in the States until Target started carrying it. Then one day their shelves went empty, never to be refilled. Perhaps Proraso didn't have the same mass market appeal as a 250 count box of Hefty Cinch Sacks. Whatever.
Eagle-eye Shaving Stuff reader Scott recently wrote in with this tip:
Bath and Body Works is selling Proraso shave cream under the name "C.O. Bigelow". If you look closely under the Bigelow banner on the box it says "made by Proraso for C.O. Bigelow"
I haven't made it to my local Bath and Body Works shop to verify this, but aside from the item being listed as "Domestic" on their website, I have no reason to doubt this information. If someone out there in shaving land can corroborate, we'd all appreciate.
In the meantime, if you're desperate to get your Proraso on, head on over to Details for Men for a little taste of the Italian import.
Thanks for the tip Scott!

Yes, but it's ONLY the shaving cream which has "made by Proraso" on the package. None of the other Proraso products are available, either under the Proraso name or the Bigelow name. Your picture of a bottle of something (shave gel?) is misleading, as it is entirely a Bigelow product, not a Proraso product.
