Thread: Palmolive shave products discontinued

Wow, time to buy the stock from the shops around me... I'll finally make a money from this hobby!

Yes I read that also, I just went to Tesco and stocked up on the shave sticks (49p each) so I didnt break the bank lol.

I dont care for the cream so much, that said it was in my early days of wet shaving so may of been my technique, I suppose I better buy some and find out for sure while I can.

A sad day indeed as they are great products but I suppose a shave stick retailing at 49p compared to the profit on shave gel priced at £1.85 kinda made there own mind up.

The email was not too clear as to whether the products where discontinued in UK only or Europe or World wide, but UK is for sure.

I paid $45 USD shipped for ten sticks, But like P160,when itis gone, it is gone

Wonder if the run on product is already on? I checked the Italianbarber this morning and it was $2.99 USD on sale and now it is sold out. I would imagine that it is a worldwide discontinuation not just the UK. Yup when stalks are gone they likely are gone. Will just have to wait and see.

I have enough Palmolive,Tabac, P160 and cella to last the rest of my life,be prepared for the great shaving soap shortage.

You know traditional mass produced shaving soaps/creams almost seem to be going the way film has. There is just not enough volume in sales to keep plants economically going geared to producing for a much larger market. There is still a niche market and it is being served by more and more artisan products.

That is sad news! I wasn't such a fan myself, but it's a solid product!
I know that at the moment, in Belgium, there's still enough in the stores.

Yea, we know. That is why I am having some friends post me 12 sticks from the UK. You should do yourself a favour and at least try it. I think it shoots the old saying "you get what you pay for" all to heck. Produces a great slick no nonsense lather if you know how to use a shave stick. Not hard to learn how either.
