I had a huge 400ml barber size can of proraso green foam that lasted me over 6 months being used for 3 pass shaves 3-4 times a week, now that was awesome! Since then prorasohas changed to a 300ml can (for the same price of course).
I doubt they will change. It's a more slimline design.
Everything is getting smaller and for the same price or higher. This seems to be the trend especially in food products for sure. I don't think this will go back to the ole days, so we just have to get used to it..IMO.
No complaints here. Very good write up and well put. Bravo my friend.I agree. While we are not all made of money, may not get regular raises, and some of us may be unemployed or retired... It is a reasonable assumption on the part of a product manufacturer that as cost of living goes up wages also go up there for the cost of their product can go up, or in this case: quantity reduced. This has been happing since before the oldest of B&B members were even born and will not change any time soon. If this wasn't a reality then we would all still be paying $0.10 for a dozen eggs, $0.15 for a gallon of gas, and $0.20 for a pack of smokes. Would that be awesome for our wallets? Absolutely! However the company who offers the product we love so much would then go bankrupt and we wouldn't be able to buy said product. See where I'm going with this?
It also makes me laugh how on a hobbyist forum where members have hundreds of dollars worth of vintage razors, thousands of different blades, enough aftershave to will to their grandkids, and regularly buy $15-$20 single 4oz pucks of artisan soap are losing it over a sub $2 can of foam (that lasts months of daily use) dropping 3oz of product lol. Yes, let's all join enmasse welding torches and march upon the doors of the barbasol factory to squash these evil oppressors who offer a quality product still for under $2 even in 2019 after 100 years of being produced. Your grandfather would tell you to stop being a... Well, you get it.
I guess 2019 really is going to be recorded as the year to complain about stupid crap.

Well, my grandparents would have slapped me if I didnt complain. LOL As for the complaining, why wouldnt I complain about Barbasol trying to sell me less product for the same amount of money when I can buy the same stuff from Gillette and get a better value? Now, if the day comes that Gillette jacks the price of Foamy up to $3 for a can, then we can have a different conversation.It also makes me laugh how on a hobbyist forum where members have hundreds of dollars worth of vintage razors, thousands of different blades, enough aftershave to will to their grandkids, and regularly buy $15-$20 single 4oz pucks of artisan soap are losing it over a sub $2 can of foam (that lasts months of daily use) dropping 3oz of product lol.

I mean, as much as Id love to try Foamy Lime, the only place Ive found it is online and Im not about to pay $2.50 for a can of it.
FWIW, the new, 7 oz cans of Barbasol are still far less of a ripoff than $25 shaving soaps are. LOL
Foamy goes up and up, it's pretty crazy. Barbasol has stayed pretty consistent but I've seen foamy around $3 at some pharmacies and fancy grocery stores. I cap my soap/creams at $10 tops because I've never found anything above that price range to outperform anything below it enough to be worth it's price. That doesn't include bulk purchasing of course. I'd love to try the revamped foamy barbershop fresh can but I've only seen it at Walgreens for around $5... The new barbasol Pacific rush menthol/caffeine is my favorite of their's so far and less then $2 so I won't be trying that foamy anytime soon haha.
I picked some Barbershop fresh @ [emoji457] for a 1.79$. You really need to try, it is fantastic.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check my local one tomorrow.
saw a bunch at Shop Rite and Dollar General no other 10oz Barbasol cans at both places
