The returned email said he'd pass it on. Wouldn't be a hoot if they did.
I emailed Barbasol asking if they could bring back Noxzema

I'm confused. I thought Noxema was their own company. Does one company own both the Noxema brand and Barbaol. Or did the canned cream line get sold to Barbasol?
It would be weird for Barbasol to bring out another brand of canned foam. I'm guessing you like it and think it's superior to Barbasol's own line or you wouldn't want them to produce it. I guess I just don't see it happening. The biggest difference in canned foam is the package IMO. Yes some are a little slicker and so on, but on the whole they are very similar.

It's been made in Canada by a 3rd party for years and no longer made there in a can. There's a version in Italy but they can't air mail aerosols. FYI what's left is going for BIG bucks on Ebay. This is a good short history.

I had a red can of it a couple of years ago. I believe I got it at Walgreens. I think my daughter has since purloined it and used it as an ingredient in a batch of slime.

Actually I like the scent of the white. Very unique. Brings back memories.
kind of wished Colgate foam or puck in the states was back around maybe used it few times as a kid 20 years or so ago when i started shaving i know my grandpa used colgate soap back in the day he liked better than Williams
I have a can of Colgate hanging around after I stopped using it about 15 years ago.

That looks like from the days when Aloe was the wonder drug of cosmetics. I've used Colgate in the past.
Ive got these two....and a backup for the white one.
The white is my favourite....very close to proraso green.

I've got some Made In Italy stock...400ml cans....when you say they're going for big bucks on eBay,
can you give me a benchmark? The ones I see seem priced pretty normal...Eg: $13.50 for 300ml
In Italy the canned foam (quite popular and once one of my favorites) and the shaving cream are widely available.
The canned foam is priced at around $4 (10.4 oz) the shaving cream around $2 (5.2 0z, same as Proraso & Palmolive)

Check Ebay. BTW how is the Euro made foam? Any big deal?
I like the stuff in the white can (Classic) a lot....great scent (menthol and camphor) like
Proraso Green. Slick, nourishing and nice, fresh, tingly post-shave face feel.
The one in the yellow can (cocoa butter) I would avoid...didn't like it.

Good to know. I wish there were a way to get the Euro made menthol to the US. Besides flying there myself.
I can get past the issue and it's not fair to the shave cream, but for most people my age Noxzema is forever associated with "zit cream."

The cream is amazing to use. Nice mild scnet and great lather.. available at Italian barber.

You have 400 ml while cans? Want to sell one?
There are some crazy prices for Noxzema shave foam on eBay. One seller wants $350 for 10 cans and another wants $45 for one can. Yikes!!!
I would let you have it for free my dude (I just gave a buddy a free can as well,
but he lives a few km away from me). I'm outside CONUS and there are some
restrictions on shipping cans where the contents are under pressure.
