I used to shop at the Stop and Shop in Cromwell. Last place I saw yellow Barbasol. Good store.
Is Mennen skin bracer discontinued?

For the record, Aqua Velva, Old Spice, and Brut seem to be back in stock at most places.
Mennen Skin Bracer is still missing.

Still seeing SB in 2 or 3 chains in Calgary, I could always send you a case of it!
Where did you see it? I might try to have a look around Montreal.
This used to be in pretty much every pharmacy and grocery store (the big chains). Right now, it seems that we are still out of stock but the Mennen label is still not there either on any shelves that I looked at.
Always available in CVS, Acme, Walgreens (in SE PA).
Also, The Big River. I got 6x7 ounce bottles a couple of months ago.

Luc, it seems more a distribution than supply issue. Still seeing SB here in CT, except in CVS and not in all Walgreens either. Used to see it at both those stores.

Agreed, but you are in the USA whereas I am in Canada. More specifically in the province of Quebec. It's a product that has been available on the shelves for years(it was always there).
There's a slight chance that some weird law was voted in Quebec to remove some specific products from the shelves. But then, I still see Aqua Velva, Brut, and Old Spice. There's a law in Quebec where anything that is sold in-store needs to have a French label that is the same size as the other language (English, Spanish, etc). or bigger. The product had a bilingual label, so no issues.
I would like to see if other members from Canada can spot it and if so, where?
As I was saying, this is not a matter of 1 company that stopped stocking it, it's at large. This can only mean that Mennen is the issue if the product is not discontinued. I'm willing to say that it isn't seeing that everything seems normal in the US.
This is a drugstore aftershave, it's cheap and it will cost 4x the value of the product to just ship it. Since Aqua Velva is still available, that's what I will buy. It's unfortunate as I preferred Mennen but look, if I can't get it locally, I will buy something else. I guess it wasn't worth it if I was the only one buying it around me.

It's good to see it's somewhere. I don't have any of these stores in Quebec. Superstore is normally owned by the Loblaws/Provigo/Maxi company. My local Maxi doesn't have it but I will keep checking.
Skin Bracer is still available here, but wasn't in most stores and supermarkets anymore for quite a while.
If one orders online or via Amazon, give Dapper Dan/Don Draper (depending on market and country the names vary slightly due to previously registered "Dapper Dan" by other companies, but they are otherwise identical) a try.
The blue one is close to Aqua Velva, the green one to Skin Bracer.
Both are amped up with more menthol, one bottle of the green I had was either ages old or something happened to it, as it was an alcohol and menthol bomb, all others were just some more menthol than in Skin Bracer.
@Juanmosey tested the Dapper Dan aftershaves a while ago, I didn't ask how they turned out, maybe he can compare better, my last Skin Bracer was years ago.
