Boots shave products

[Drcharles]

Hi,
I'm finding out to my annoyance that nearly every shave product I like and use is being discontinued.

Boots electric pre shave has now gone which concerns me, the following items I don't use but still, Boots Bay Rum, Shave Stick and Shave cream all no longer available. I do use the Freshwood Balm though and thats still on the shelves but for how long ?

Boots have brought out a puck of hard soap,
Triple milled i would expect,
i bought it last month but haven’t gave it a try yet.
As for the Freshwood i have half a dozen & there was plenty on the shelf’s today when i was in.
To be honest i can’t see it being a good seller

Was the Freshwood the Aftershave? Because that's readily available. Not sure how long the Balm will be though !

There’s always superdrug should they discontinue

Welcome to the joy of vintage!

Procured the other day:

... just a matter of perspective, as in how long ago your favourite stuff was discontinued.

BTW some recently discontinued era Boots shaving soap (same formula as the stick) available on a popular auction site.

I had that set but gave it away as a free gift to a wonderful gentleman on here.
I do love the ceramics For me the jewel in the crown

I was very disappointed with the Boots Bay Rum. There are many better products outthere.

Out of interest what didn’t you like about it ???
Bare in Mind it’s a hair tonic & not an aftershave but i’m sure you’ll know that

It just didn't smell pleasant. I am a hair tonic user.

i must give it a go,
I know it won’t be up there with my other Bay Rums but the price dictates i need to give it a go
