Palmolive Shave Cream

[Asktm]

Could that be the same as the Italian Palmolive Rinfrescante (Green tube)?
In Italy the regular is in a red tube. A little confusing

I have all three version, green, red and green menthol. Still miss the blue one.

Are the Red one and the Green Classic the same cream?

Most probably. I can not feel any difference.

The message that I hearing from users is that this is a useful product even if it is only as a comparison, a benchmark, to other perhaps more expensive, products.

I enjoy it because it is a traditional product that does its job and is easy and cheap to buy for me.

My only concern is that it is an oddball product in the Palmolive product range and may need special display treatment on the supermarket shelves leading to its demise.

Here in Italy it is easily available practically everywhere, from the small shop to the large supermarket, both classic and menthol.
Excellent cream, I always have some in the den.

Also in the UK, the food supermarkets have stock, a major one is Morrisons who have the cream at £1.80 (2,20 euros and USD).

Readily available, but then again, so was Palmolive Shave Stick.

Are there no places at all to get the Palmolive stick? Is it absolutely gone?

As far as I know Rick there are no B and Ms selling the stick. Some opportunists sell the stick on such platforms as eBay at ridiculous prices.

Bombay Shaving Company cream and balm. Fabulous stuff from India.

Just for laughs I found an India company selling this for $3.99 free shipping. I loaded it in my cart and the shipping is still free! But it's the Tumeric. It's that good? for $3.99 that like free cream to me.

They are out of stock and have been for ages, they were discontinued in about 2020 I believe. If you find Palmolive sticks at £1.95 then my advice is to buy in bulk. For a while I even checked in small local chemist shops when I was travelling around the UK on business and there were none to be found. I finally purchased 45 Palmolive sticks on the bay in April 2024 but I have not seen them in a retail store for years. I kept about a dozen of the oldest examples, shown on the left below, and sold the rest in sets of four. In the UK they fetch £10 to £15 each depending on the number and the specific version.

Palmolive menthol. Pretty great. I got a huge amount of lather. The menthol level was not overwhelming. Maybe on the mild side. I got a chuckle over the 3.38 oz size. How do they come up with that.

No offense intended, but some of us use the metric system of weights and measures. 3.38 ounces equals 100ml.

Used it first time today , what a great cream .. its not as drying as Arko green for me , and I liked its performance as much as Proraso Red

Will be stocking up for sure as my corner shop has about 20 tubes !

 

[UDShaver]

Interesting - I might throw some in on my next Amazon purchase just to try it...like I need more cream!

It will be about $7 for 100ml so not such a bargain. Nice cream though.

Then you must remember Madge!

You’re soaking in it….

 

[Vacumatic]

Still available in the UK at £1.80 which is $2.34

I buy some every time I see it, works great for me and there just might be a time when I cannot buy it at any price.

99 cents in Italy at a local supermarket. (Rinfrescante)

Amazon currently have The Real Shaving Company Traditional Shave Cream for about £2.50 for 125ml including free delivery . For me personally I find it superior to Palmolive for slickness and general lathering performance, although I do prefer the scent of Palmolive.

I am a big fan of Real shaving Co cream.. it used to be Creightons who make the creams for TOBS , TH and Trumper IIRC.. The newer ones just state " Made in China" but its still a great cream .. albeit a little less slicker than before. They are currently £1.25 at a chain store in the UK called Sams 99 ( along with the facial scrub and balms)
Not a fan of the facial scrub.. but did buy 4 each of the cream and balm , So im set for a while , and when they say its double concentrated, they mean it . a tube will last a a looong time.

I got my first tube of Palmolive last week (£1.49 and states made in Italy) . and I was impressed, it doesnt dry my skin as much as Arko .. So its always nice to discover some basics that wont break the bank.
Next on my budget hit list is Erasmic and Wilkinson Sword in the bowl as well as Nuage Balm.
