Palmolive Shaving Stick

[Bogeyman]

Is anyone familiar with what appears to be an older German marked version of this?





The ingredient list is different somewhat, but that just may be nomenclature perhaps.

Sorry can't help. My vintage Palmolive doesn't have ingredients on it.

Quite off the topic but here in the UK, with Palmolive stick we have Palmolive cream which is another great Shaving cream. I know in other European countries they have the Menthol and Sensitive versions as well but here you can find Palmolive stick and cream in most shops.

Gentleman, I resisted today in Tesco.

The green sticks are down to 13p each and no takers for a large pile. I even managed to resist the Wilki brush now down to £1.07!!

In a week they'll be paying you to take them away!!

At that price I would have bought a few dozen and included them as free gifts in the pass arounds I'm doing.
Off to Tesco tomorrow...

On a recent trip to Asda I made sure to have a look. Still on the shelf at full whack, plenty in stock, no sign they were removing them.

13p! That is unbelievable.

Wow. I checked my local Tesco last week and although they don't stock Palmolive soap, the Wilky brushes and "blue-bowl" soap were both full price.

I like use sticks but just when traveling and last summer I bought one of these in Germany. Not bad. I think, notwithstanding that these boring soaps altogether with cheap boar brushes and ugly razors push many people out of wet shaving. Thanks to new contenders things are far better than in the 80's and 90's, at least from what I know. The Palmolive stick ingredients are almost the same than Lea one. They both are so boring that I'd prefer a beard rather than use them every day with a cheap boar brush and a Tech... Not for me. I take shave too seriously.

I checked my local tesco in Salisbury, 50p (as always) & loads of them.

Well If anyone want I can go and buy the lot, I think it's about 15 sticks in my local Tesco and if you pay that plus £2.7 shipping then I can definitely help.

Here are the current ingredients:




Here are the ingredients off one of my older German sticks pictured in post #19 in this thread:

I'm surprised by the Sodium Laureth Sulfate, no matter how trace. I ditched this two years ago and I believe it's the reason my skin has never been better than it is now. Does it lather any differently?

A little richer, IMO.

I used the Palmolive stick today again and I had just a great shave, no its not the best shaving soap. But its offers the most value for money and offers good protection, just not as creamy as some other soaps I have tried.

If I had to do this over I would have stuck with one razor (the Krona), one brush, one soap & 100 top shelf blades. Then I would have discontinued my Internet service.
