They were reviewing Palmolive cream (though, as far as I understand it, the version sold in the States is different to the European cream). Anyway, it seems that Colgate-Palmolive are discontinuing the cream in the US; whilst there's no suggestion that the same fate will befall the European version, might this mark the first part of a withdrawal from the traditional shave market?

Dave - how does wet shaving equate with a small market? Surely wet shaving has a far bigger market share than electric razors?
I guess i should have been more precise and less liberal with the term wet shaving and stuck traditional before it but plenty people including me don't consider using a cart as a term used to describe wet shaving...UKRob said:Dave.B said:Seems like it i hope the euro stuff we have doesn't disappear but will say it was noted earlier in the year that gillette had decided to call time on their creams they made which is a shame as they are really great creams for the price. it just seems even though we are seeing a big revival in wet shaving the big companies continue to phase the stuff out due to it still being only a small market

Chris, discussing a soap on a shaving forum hardly passes as medicine
chrisbell said:We weren't discussing a soap, though. We were debating conventional versus alternative medicine.

Debating suggests an in-depth knowledge of the topic and preparation. You were just arguing your views on the topic at best.
