Hello my friends, I ran out of Skin Bracer the other day so I went to Wal-Mart to buy more but it seems to me that there's a factory ingredient mixing error. Most of the latest batches that I've gotten of Skin Bracer for the past 5 months except the last bottle that I ran out of have been very diluted with barely any fragrance and I can only almost detect the alcohol.
I emailed Colgate-Palmolive about it and they said that they would let the team know, but this crap keeps happening. I can't be risking losing 5 bucks every time I buy it. Regardless Skin Bracer as a whole even if not defective is rather weak in the scent department other brands of after shave last for hours like a cologne.
With that being said I decided let me buy some Barbasol Brisk I've read it is Skin Bracer on steroids in both scent/menthol, I also know that the Pacific one has been discontinued for some time. So I went to the Barbsol site and no Brisk after shaves came up in the search results even though they sold their Brisk after shave directly from their site in a 6 pack for $19.99 a few months ago.
Then I went on the Wal-Greens website and said it was out of stock, I emailed Barbasol and they said it was discontinued but they take my request very serious and they are reconsidering bringing it back.
So ATM I am using Aqua Velva which I enjoy although I prefer the sweeter notes of Skin Bracer, But AQ has better an overall better performance I will wait patiently until either a green juice like SB imitation comes back but that has better performance or a Spice knock off that smells like the Shulton formula. I don't know why they discontinue all the badass after shaves, The after shave market seems to be on a steep hill at times in the USA.
