Thread: Discontinued: Burma Shave Soaps & Creams

Called the company (ASR/Personna) today & was told Bruma Shave Soaps & Creams are/will no longer be manufactured.

It's an historical name in the annals of wet shaving however they aren't exactly the last word in soap quality. I don't think anyone will miss their passing.

Who is still selling this stuff, I would at least like to give it a try just for nostalagia's sake.

I was searching for it the other day and found a place where you can buy single pucks, but the guy seems to have jacked his prices way up on soaps in general (23 bucks for three pucks of Colonel Conk).

Mug & Brush Shaving

About half-way down the page has no picture, it's right under the burma shave brush.

They were better known for their witty roadside signs than their shaving products, imho.

Back in the day, Burmashave was a cream and not a puck soap, they were also the best seller in the US. They should have re introduced the cream, it was advertised as not needing the brush, all you had to do was rub it in with your fingers.

Just for fun, here goes.

A man.
A miss.
A car- a curve
He kissed the miss
and missed the curve.
Burma shave.
