The Other Bigelow Stuff

My girlfriend gave the C.O. Bigelow Black cologne and and aftershave. It was an Easter Present. I like the scent, and the aftershave is good stuff. So what I was wondering was if anyone had any experience with the Shave Gel. I can't find a review of it anywhere. Now, I know it's a gel and not a trad...

I live in this great state of Louisiana. Here, you can buy liquor at the gas station. There are no rules except for the being 21 part (and depending on the bar, that may not even apply :shock: ). There is something oddly comforting in the idea that I can go to the Circle K down the road and get a 32...

I have very dry skin due to my Psoriasis, so I exfoliate my whole body generally once a week. Every couple of days I do my face to get rid of all the dead loose skin hanging around. That said, I have never noticed a difference in shaves when I have exfoliated vs when I have not. So, if you don't hav...

Avocado and Mr. Taylor are the only two I've tried, but they're pretty amazing.

Depending on how old it is, that could be the problem. Then again, maybe not. I've never used really vintage soaps or creams.

I've always loved Proraso. The green was my first soap. I've been meaning to try the white for a while.

For as long as it's been around, it would seem more people would have tried it.

A Grown Up Fierce?

My SO recently told me that she likes the smell of A&F's Fierce. I went in, gave it a sniff, and wasn't terribly impressed. Now, I'm not an A&F hater. I loved Woods, and it's a damn shame they don't make it anymore. I just think we can do better. It was kind of flat, and smelled a little on ...

Nothing burns quite like Clubman Bay Rum. That'll give you a burn. No freeze, but lots of burn.

The Sure Fire Way Into a Woman's Heart

So I walk out of the bathroom tonight after my shower and shave. And what do I hear not thirty seconds later? "WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE MY DAD IN HERE?!" I asked her if she that was a bad thing. Well, let's just say while women like the pipe smoke that reminds them of their grandpa, they are...

Awe...come on guys. Proraso/Bigelow smells great. I love it. Topped off with some Original Skin Bracer and you got something there. I bought some Bigelow yesterday. I have half a tube of Proraso, but I just couldn't say no. It's a sickness I tell you. Then I get back from the mall to find out there ...

I rinse mine off after ever shave. When I replace the blade, I give it a good scrub down with a toothbrush and Scrubbing Bubbles.

But, my understanding is Scrubbing Bubbles is hard to get in the UK. I'm told there is a brand called Cif Bathroom Mousse, which is pretty much the same thing.

If you're looking for just a moisturizing cream, have a look at CeraVe. I use it on my face and Psoriasis legions. It's great stuff. Much better than Cetaphil which I have used for many years. It was recommended to me by my dermatologist, and he's been right so far.

I never really use a pre-shave. Is this something I should look into?

What do you guys suggest? Proraso? Crema? Prep? Skin Food?

Mr. Taylor Cream, A/S, and Cologne.

I smell really nice! Although I caught myself looking in the mirror asking "Would I really look that ridiculous without eyebrows?"
