Pitralon Aftershave is Back!

[BullGoose]

We first brought Pitralon aftershave to the United States about ten years ago but, the manufacturer required such a huge amount that we never replenished our stock when we sold out a few years ago. I am happy to announce that I have found a distributor for Pitralon Classic and we once again have it in our shop. This time tested classic is hard to find in the United States and it definitely deserves a spot in your Shave Cave.

Sounds interesting. I might bite. A good bracing Anglo-Saxon aftershave for a crisp spring day sounds nice.

Curious: Is that pre shave up there somewhat of a tonic? Do you carry that and the aftershave?

Which pre-shave is that?

 

[Odysseus]

Which pre-shave is that?

Up above in the photo: Almost looks like a tonic-like splash similar to the old Lectric Shave from Williams.

I think this is the picture the OP intended to post.

 

[Odysseus]

Yep, I'm sorry. I just took a view in his shop.

My bad.

Oops. I posted the wrong picture. I do not have any of the pre-shaves.

The Classic deserves it's name. Luckily for me, I can get it dirt cheap just across the border in Germany. But it performs way better than you might expect from it's price! I will always have it in stock at home. Give it a try!

I’m not familiar with Pitralon.
Can you tell me more about it?

Pitralon Classic (Also known as German Pitralon) is an alcohol based splash that has been in production since the 1920's. I'd describe the scent as herbal and woody (Cedar Wood) and not over powering. For an alcohol based splash, it has good skin conditioning qualities. I find it quite refreshing.

Pitralon also makes other scents in other countries. There is a Swiss Pitralon that has kind of a fruity scent to it, Pitralon Pure which is similar to Swiss Pitralon but with a higher alcohol content (and possibly higher scent concentration) and an aquatic version called Pitralon Polar. There` is also a Czech Pitralon and probably others that I am not aware of.

We used to import Classic, Swiss, Pure and Polar but the minimum order requirements were something like 1800 bottles. It was a logistical nightmare (see below)

Excellent aftershave.

It starts off with some light floral notes and predominantly dry cedar... The drydown is awesome. It's a classic tart cedar and manly scent.

Every time I use it, I feel the need to cut down a tree.

Excellent! Thank you. Please let me know what you think of it.

Will do!
I think I’ll like it.
I like woody and spicy scents.
I’ll have to get a shaving soap compatible with the Pitralon and make room for it.
I look forward to it.

I have a bead on Ralon Aftershave which apparently was Swiss Pitralon before Swiss Pitralon. This might take a little time but, it should happen.

And it is made with natural Cedar oil

It's good stuff. I like to pair it with Mitchell's Wool Fat soap,
but it's a versatile enough scent, you can finds *lots* of soaps to pair with, I suspect.

Nice to learn it's now available from a USA Vendor, next time I need to order....

I'm really glad that we have it once again. I agree...it's a classic scent.
