Shave product resurrection

[timsclips]

If you could bring back one discontinued item used for shaving what would it be?

I am going to start the ball with Old Spice Shaving soap. It was inexpensive (not quite as cheap as Williams or Colgate) and quite good for its time.

Anyone want to bring back a particular razor, aftershave, cream or soap?

Easy... "Lavanda", a lavender shaving cream made by Ach Brito, the very same makers of the well-known Musgo Real:

The best lavender cream that I know of. It's a shame that it has been discontinued.
An amazing fragrance, a strong lavender scent with balsamic and sweet notes. A very elegant, deep, masculine scent.
Luckily I was able to grab a couple of NOS tubes! :thumbup:

Along with OS shave soap, I would bring back the original body shop shave cream.

Yardley and another vote for OS.. ! And of course bring back the DE Razors!

Penhaligon's soap with tallow,would be #1 on my list.

You beat me to it... Well, if I have to choose something else it is the Gillette Platinum "Swede" blades.

it was discontinued before I got into wet shaving.

Old Spice AS





AND...

Glass Bottles.

Tom's of Maine Mint shaving cream, Old Spice Non-alcoholic AS in the glass bottle, Old Spice Shaving soap and finally, I tried some shave cream around 15 years ago from I believe Crabtree and Evelyn called Hungary Water. Don't remember what I thought of the cream, but I LOVED the scent. Got the feeling that Hungary Water was a common, old time scent of sorts, but have never seen it again, in a cream or any other form, from any manufacturer.

A fern scented shave soap that lathers and shave stick tins.

[Arrow]

"LEATHERNECK" shaving soap from "The Gentlemen's Quarter" I really liked that scent.

[ouch]

penhaligon's soap with tallow,would be #1 on my list.

+1, along with Schick Plus Platinum blades.

I remember back when you could get Iridium Super DE blades made in Russia. They were great, not too expensive, sharp, smooth, and lasted well. Those were the days. It seems like only last week..... Hey, it was only last week!!!!

[malocchio]

tube cream barbasol

[_JP_]

The Ever-Ready line of shaving brushes. Reasonably priced (the high end badgers were about $40 in the 80's) and great at lathering. Never shed a hair, they just simply last until you wear the bristles away.

[franstjohn]

Yardley Shaving Soap.

[taffy]

I wouls have liked to have tried imperial leather.

[DE Shaver]

AND...

Glass Bottles.

Too true. :sad:

[ackvil]

Another vote for Proraso Red. I used this a long time ago and did not realize it was discontinued when I attempted to purchase a replacement.

I've a vintage puck and it's great. I'd thought of writing an email appeal to Cusssons for new IL shaving products, but then I thought if they made any they'd probably not be in the Original scent, but in the awful 'For Men' chemical scent.

[Saltchuck]

Another vote for the Old Spice line: soap, mugs, after shave. Also Gillette razors including the New, the Tech, and the 40s SS.

One product I would NOT want to see resurrected would be Gillette Blue Blades from the 1960's and before.
