Most of the time the things I review are for women but this time I am reviewing some shaving cream and after shave from C. O. Bigelow. I receieved some Proraso Shaving Cream - Refreshing and Toning Formula and also some after shave in the same scent.

Rex was very excited to try the Proraso Shaving Cream and After Shave. He said the shaving cream was great - it was nice and cream and helped him get a close shave. It was concentrated so a little went a long way. His face was nice and soft when he was done. He liked that his face did not feel all dried out. Here is what I liked about the Proraso Shaving cream:

No Parabens, No SLS, No Artificial Colors
No Silicons, No Mineral Oils

The Proraso After Shave Lotion Rex said felt refreshing. It contains Eucalyptus oil to purify and tone skin. He said it felt invigorated and fresh when he put it on. I liked that it didn’t have a real strong scent. It smelled nice and fresh. It also contained no parabens, No silicons, No mineral oils. Both products were made in Italy.

I also tried a product from C. O. Bigelow, I tried the Lemon Leaf Eau de Parfum. It was very nice. It had notes of Lemon, Fig and Black currant with a bit of Musk, Rose and Sandalwood. It was not overpowering like some scents can be. They have a whole line of the Lemon Leaf products including body scrub, lotion and body cleansers so you can use it from start to finish.

C.O. Bigelow has been around for a long time originally called “The Village Apothecary Shop” it was bought and rename in 1880 by Clarence Otis Bigelow. It began by providing prescriptions, healing remedies, unique and unusual beauty products and hard to find apothecary items. For nearly two centuries C. O. Bigelow has been providing customers with customized service and specialty products that make a difference in their life.

You can shop at C. O. Bigelow at 414 Sixth Avenue New York, NY or you can purchase items HERE online.
