It seems the rumors are true- Williams is planning on going from glass to plastic on the original Aqua Velva.
Only a year ago they assured me that they had zero interest in going from glass to plastic. Now I guess they need that extra coinage bad enough. For those that aren't aware- the menthol will probably be reduced and supplanted by propylene glycol and/or panthenol. How this will effect the essence or functionality is unknown, but it's a safe bet that it will undergo a major re-formulation. The woman that I spoke to said that when Williams 'Lectric Shave went to plastic they tweaked the menthol count, and that they would probably do the same with AV.
I want everyone that feels as strongly about this to do one of two things: call or write Williams. Let them know that you will not buy Aqua Velva if it goes to plastic. I would rather they jacked the price up a quarter or so then to cheap out and go plastic.
Call: 1-800-431-2610

They've been experiencing a large volume of calls on the AV line because of this, so expect a hold time of a minute or two.
