If you go to the Gillette website and send a message asking if Menthol has been discontinued they may, like they did to me, send you 2 coupons for free Fusion5 cream or gel. Walmart has the gel but I'm not even sure if the foam is on the market yet.
Barbasol Lovers Thread

The Foamy Menthol is available through Walgreen online. I ordered the Foamy Menthol and it is a strange menthol only foam. The Foamy Menthol has an industrial scent. Face chill is quite good. I will not buy again. This is a case where Barbasol is much better.
I like Barbasol Arctic Chill. Noxzema is good too. Bought two cans of Gillette Foamy Lemon/Lime from Amazon. Love the scent. Great for summer.
Yes, the Gillette Foamy Lemon/Lime is a very good cream. It excels in all areas.
No, US...I've seen it at Shoppers Drug Mart in Toronto, Canada.
I'll have to keep my eyes open the next time I'm in Canada, didn't even think to check for it.
Otherwise, you have to order online. I use Proraso cream.
Canada, it's in our Alberta drugstores.
Here in Tampa, FL you don't see Proraso on the shelves.Canada, it's in our Alberta drugstores.
I would have voted "Original", but the answer isn't what the poll is expecting. I like the old style "cold cream" style Barbasol in a jar or tube, which has been off the market for years but older jars still pop up now and then. Not a daily driver for me, in part because of its scarcity, but now and then I yearn to smell and feel the stuff on my face. It's my go-to when I haven't shaved for two or three days.
I have two late production Pfizer jars of the stuff. When Perio took over they briefly reintroduced it in plastic tubes (it was still metal in my youth), but they only distributed it online or through a handful of Walgreen's locations, so it probably did not sell very well and of course it was re-discontinued. (Amusingly, I wrote to Perio a few months ago asking if they would ever consider reintroducing the original style through the specialty retailers, and got a polite but firm response that Perio, Inc. is not soliciting new ideas. New idea? Faugh. I'm asking for the OLD idea!)

when i was a kid, i would get my dads barbasol and put it all over my chest and legs.
Purple smells the best out of all the Barbasol- I had to look it up/ingredients for scent is something called “Irish Moss” it’s heavenly.
My favorite thing about Barbasol is the lanolin.
OK, I just ordered the non-aerosol Barbasol sensitive cream (and 5oz of Barbasol Brisk AS) from Walgreens website for $6.08, delivered to a local store. Crazy. Walgreens is a worse enabler than B&B in this case.
This got me started down the Barbasol rabbit hole. Maybe I can drag someone in behind me.
Tonight I used the Pacific Rush flavor.
It’s my current favorite. Paired with Pinaud Clubman AS it’s a winning combination.

Barbasol is a total American experience! Can’t go wrong with it. Many of our fathers and grandfathers used it and basically it works, inexpensive too.
The yellow can with lanolin. Very hard to get in my neck of the woods.
Sadly the yellow can with lanolin has been discontinued.
Plussed for tomorrow’s shave. I have a new RazoRock SLOC 2.0 to try as well. The Barbasol BRISK smells just like my barber’s shop - traditional!
