    Wrote asking if they had any plans to ever reintroduce Arctic Chill, or (heh) maybe something with lime? They ignored the lime part but said this:

    Sure enough, on their webpage,

    I only scan the shelves looking for Arctic so haven't noticed this...yet. Anyone else seen or tried it? I can see a lot of us liking this.

    Yeah. I ignored that part.

    RyX DoH!

    I have the pre-re-formulation Arctic Chill. It's good on menthol, but lacking in caffeine. Many of my shaves happen in the evening so I'll think about getting one of these new style for morning shaves. I hope it goes well with dark roast.

    Its supposed to be an anti-inflamatory and slow down your blood flow, resulting in fewer weepers. Theres actually a couple companies who have been doing it for a whole now. Pacific does it (kind of made it famous really) and Nivea has been doing it with their, "Energy" line.

    I'll be looking for it. Caffeine with menthol though? Sounds like me when I put an ice-cube in my coffee on these hot days.

    Isn't it lovely to be ignored for your efforts of prose?

    I asked them about lime about six months to a year ago, go the usual "no plans at this time" answer.

    They might have been more courteous and said "We'll let you know if/when it's happening", etc...right?

    As weak as it is, Gillette sells a lime version that seems to sell. Barbasol is a superior foam all the way around, would seem like a win/win but what do I know.

    I'd like to see them bring the Pacific Rush AS back.

    I would too..I'm discovering that I need more cold aftershaves around-the soaps are OK but wouldn't be as effective as the aftershaves.

    Nothing new at my local Wallyworld, just the usual line of fine Barbasol foams.

    I don't think they make it anymore. They only list the Brisk splash on the Barbasol site and the price on Amazon has gone up quite a bit.

    Morning neck shave, it smells like Pacific Rush and has the same menthol kick as Arctic Chill. Good stuff.

    That must be why it is "improved"...splashing it with Joe and mixin'er up.
