Palmolive Shave Stick discontinued in Australia

[dewynter]

Looks like Palmolive shave stick has been officially discontinued in Australia. Completely. Local Woolies had a big box last weekend and now it's gone. Removed even stickers from shelves. Removed from the website. Not in Coles on any Pricelines as well. Had a chat with a lady at Priceline today. She said they removed all unsold stuff from shelves recently because it was discontinued and they couldn't sell it legally. Pity. I wanted to try it but always leaving it for later. This is so typical for me - leaving something until tomorrow what I could do today.

Bummer! The Palmolive shave cream is better IMO but the shave stick (the Australian version) always had a special place!

I liked it ,but the German stick had a more refined scent , never tried the stick they used to make in FIJI...

Oh no!

It was quite a good shave stick, at a really nice price.

German is best, it has tallow. Fiji is similar, but a close second. Aussie is third.

But if you ever get a chance to try a stick of vintage Aussie, from the 40's-50's, that is the bestest! The scent will have pretty much gone, but it lathers like a champ!

I got one not long ago at the local IGA. Try there before giving up

Bummer, indeed. Good while it lasted.

Is this Palmolive classic? In the cylinder? I can get it for you, if required

 

[Andy]

I purchased an entire box from Priceline when the conversation started around the discontinuation of the overseas product.

Looks like this is the case, but as Dan X said, try your local IGA.

Apparently it's lights out in the UK as well, sure glad I have a few left

Got a heap of the Euro ones with tallow a few years ago. Markedly superior IMHO.
