Heavens be praised!
Yes, it does appear to be back in production. Not being an old-timer, but I now know what the end of Prohibition felt like!
I trust you bought a bottle, or two?
Always glass...but the Hair tonic which smells the same was in plasticI think it was a glass bottle, was it ever sold in a plastic one?
New stuff is the same as the old stuff. Just carry on regardlessI am lucky to have a bottle and a half of the original left. I am afraid that the half bottle sat in the sun too long and is now green
Is the retailer an independent or part of a chain?I saw a few other posts here and there, but I thought it might be good to start one dedicated to it.
I popped into a local retailer of beauty products and other random bits and pieces, and I saw a shelf with a fair few bottles of Pashana aftershave. This particular shop used to stock it before, but they ran out of stock for a quite a long time, as they have it again I presume it is a sign it's in production once again.
Paul @pjgh I'm sure you can now rest easy....

Is the retailer an independent or part of a chain?
What change of ownership?I'm still not entirely convinced that the current Pashana A/S is exactly the same as the pre-Pashana drought product, but it could be that the little remaining of my old stock has concentrated itself somewhat, as it's a much darker colour and stronger scent (lovely!).
Given the change of ownership (?), I suppose the owners took some time to take stock before producing the A/S again, which is, pace @Gairdner, a jolly good thing. There were certainly no problems in procuring any of the considerable number of other Pashana products, which are various hair tonics and so forth. I wonder if their Bay Rum is anything good?
The old label said "Denman" and the new "Hive of Beauty". The Denman website is defunct, and Pashana is now listed on hiveofbeauty.com ( but not the a/s). HoB was mostly depilatory waxing gear, and several years ago, I bought one of their wax heaters for melting wax and resin, as it was ideal for waxing the reeds I have tuned, back into melodeons.What change of ownership?
