Ever romanticize a shaving related product, only to reperchase it and... no longer like it?

I was in Toronto last summer and so excited to see the store I was in stocked Acca Kappa 1869, I bought the cream in a tube, and the aftershave. But somehow it just wasn’t as good as I recalled. It might be because it wasn’t the bowl soap, but the aftershave wasn’t what I remembered either.

Recently I picked up some Mühle Sea Buckthorn aftershave. I absolutely loved the scent! I still like the scent, but the product seems a little lacking.

Too funny!

Am I alone in this? Have you ever excitedly “restocked” a product only to no longer like it?
