Another Sneaky Way to Slip Dad Some Grooming - C.O. Bigelow

This is second article dealing with a way that I could slip my father some beauty products without it being super evident. Hopefully I can get an image up in this one, I have no idea what my computer is doing but it refuses to upload images. I am going to try again in several minutes. This time, we are going to look at a product from C.O. Bigelow, another line at Bath and Body Works that has always carried men's products. These were consistent sellers in my store so I am glad that the line is being expanded to include even more items.

The item that I would get for my dad would be the Shave Foam made exclusively from by Proraso for C.O. Bigelow. C.O. Bigelow describes this product as following, "A time-honored recipe for luxurious lather, C.O. Bigelow and Italian shaving experts have collaborated once again to create Premium Shave Foam for those who prefer the rich creamy lather of foam over traditional shaving cream. Drawing on a beloved formulation that has been an Italian grooming essential since its creation over 80 years ago, C.O. Bigelow Premium Shave Foam, contains Eucalyptus and Menthol providing a light fragrance and cooling sensation."

C.O. Bigelow product creator Ian Ginsberg added this statement to the product's description, "Italian barbers have long relied on these shaving formulations for the luxurious lather they create and the close, comfortable shave they provide. We worked to develop a thick, foaming version of our favorite cream formula exclusively for C.O. Bigelow - a lightweight alternative to the original cream. The result is an invigorating, luxurious shaving foam that turns a mundane daily task into an enjoyable pleasure."

This product is listed as one of C.O. Bigelow's "Around the World Apothecary Picks" in that it instantly softens the beard and moisturizes the skin for close and comfortable shave. There are three key ingredients included in this product. The first is glycerin which provides an ultra-smooth glide. The second in menthol which delivers a cooling, tingling sensation on the skin while shaving. The last one is eucalyptus oil which acts as an antiseptic and provides an invigorating aroma. This product was developed for normal skin and can be applied directly with the fingers or lathered with a shaving brush.

This is a really, really easy way to get my dad grooming products. He always has to shave so this is a no brainer gift for him. Making a mundane everyday chore five minutes of fun? That's one of the best gifts ever.

And...pictures are finally working!
