I bought some of this the other day cos it was the only thing in the shop and dirt cheap. So impressed that I was about to post a thread, but I see the secret has been out for some time now!

Ordered it 3 hours ago from Amazon and it shipped already!They don't smell the same, Palmolive is a clean soapy scent and the Italian Palmolive rinfrescante is stronger on the menthol than the rebranded Proraso.
seems to be what the UK version looks. Mine is the same as from cotedupyIt looks a bit different to what I’m used to. Did they change the design or is this the UK version?
Not a UK version. A year or two ago Palmolive changed their logo. No longer the leaves above the "O" and a different font. The one on @cotedupy 's photo is the last logo.It looks a bit different to what I’m used to. Did they change the design or is this the UK version?

I’m in at least for this Sunday if sticks count as well.Sounds like we need a SOD thread for this. Anyone up for Palm[olive] Sunday?
Palm[olive] Sunday
It’s about time we had a thread dedicated to the use of Palmolive shaving cream. This cream is widely available in supermarkets and pharmacies around the world. It’s quite possibly the best bang for your buck shaving cream on the planet. Despite its humble price tag, the performance is...www.badgerandblade.com
Of course they do. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one….I’m in at least for this Sunday if sticks count as well.

I got lucky sometime ago…Green gold!
I thought Palmolive was also very popular in Bulgaria and Poland. I received it from a Bulgarian friend of mine - he sent me a Classic and Menthol cream as well as two terrific Bulgarian creams which were Top Ten Sensitive and Viking Sensitive.Not all over Europe anymore. Mostly Western Europe. A few years ago Colgate-Palmolive stopped selling officially the cream in most Eastern European countries. 10 years ago it was sold here too - Classic, Sensitive [Aloe] and Menthol, manufactured in the Romanian factory. Now they sell 65 g tubes [Made in Italy] in Serbia, Romania and Macedonia only AFAIK.
There was a Romanian Factory manufacturing 65ml of all 3 varieties. It closed in December 2008. Around 2009 all Palmolive shaving creams disappeared from our supermarkets. Same applies to Poland. They had the old Romanian creams left in one brick-and-mortar store when I was there in early 2011. Later in October I went there again and it was nowhere to be found. If we want to buy them we have to order from Romania. They currently market Classic and Cool 65 ml made in Italy, but only for the former Yugoslavian republics and Romania. And I can assure you the Classic is not the same as the Italian red classic. The Italian smells much stronger.I thought Palmolive was also very popular in Bulgaria and Poland.
