Do you have the secret decoder ring to tell when they were made?Wow no wonder it smells good. The one's at Wal-Mart are lot 1294-1301 much newer.
No I don't but I can email them for that. I assume yours was made sometime last year.Do you have the secret decoder ring to tell when they were made?
Hopefully they bring it back so I don't have to wait for the dumb Colgate-Palmolive to get back to me which they haven't.I contacted barbasol telling them I loved brisk and that many of us did, and that I hope they reconsider the decision.
Let us know if it smells like Skin Bracer.Apparently there's a third aftershave that smells similar called Gabels original aftershave. I ordered some to try and see how good it is.
I had to order from a barbershop supply website becuase amazon charged over twice as much for the same size.
Yes, it is very close to Skin Bracer in scent, but NO menthol. Still, it isn't quite Skin Bracer. But, I am on my second 15 ounce bottle of Gabels. Good stuff, just not quite the dandy that Skin Bracer is.Apparently there's a third aftershave that smells similar called Gabels original aftershave. I ordered some to try and see how good it is.

Good theory.I repurchased SB last year. My previous bottle was purchased in 2011 or '12. I used it from that point up to the middle of last year, when I finally ran out. The new bottle smells the same, performs the same, but I'm not exactly sure how "new" it really is. It's possible it's an older bottle that just sat on the store shelf for a couple of years before I got to it. Sometimes I think it smells a little thinner and has a more prominent alcohol smell, so I'm leaning toward the formula's been changed.
If they ever get back to you (doubtful) they'll probably tell you again that the "formula" hasn't been changed... the problem is, there are so many ways to define what that might mean, and so if they have changed it, they won't really tell us.The clowns at Colgate-Palmolive haven't reached out to me yet, And today it has been exactly one month since they told me they'd get back to me.
Yep you got that right. But it's OK I'll make Aqua Velva my main after shave and possibly try to get my hands on the Canadian green juice as well. It just sucks how Barbasol stabbed us all in the back their Brisk was my replacement if something happened to Skin Bracer.If they ever get back to you (doubtful) they'll probably tell you again that the "formula" hasn't been changed... the problem is, there are so many ways to define what that might mean, and so if they have changed it, they won't really tell us.
Yeah I feel you, I'm still waiting to see what ''research'' like they told me they were going to do on their part they do.I have to admit that the idea of Skin Bracer (of all things!) being detrimentally reformulated, or even becoming unavailable was previously unthinkable to me, and has made me wonder what else might be endangered... at least I got my one bottle of Barbasol Brisk before that went away...
