So I'm sure some of you have noticed that they are changing the bottles. But did you know that they are removing Alum from their recipes? I really like the PAA and CK scents and products, and the Alum never bothered me. But I have seen several people complain about their use of Alum, and understand that it would be a turn off for people with a sensitivity to the stuff... A couple days ago they posted to their Facebook page the details of the Bottle changes and that they are removing Alum:
Sucks that they removed Alum... I think that is what was unique about there aftershave.... It certainly helped with the dry down effect... Good stuff.... As for the price.... They have always been a bit pricey ....
Oh, of course it would be. Like matching up Stoylin products(sop&AS.), to name one company of many that have products that could work well together.
Well you know... Williams Shave Soap pairs great with the Original Aqua Velva. See here: https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sos-august-2018.60133/page-52#post-1464605
Yeah I don't know how those two will pair. I know the Williams Stick soap goes well with Aqua Velva Ice Blue as also. https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sos-august-2018.60133/page-73#post-1467154
Had I known that PAA took the alum out and changed the bottle, I wouldn't have ordered from them last week. I'm serious, I would not have ordered..
Why? Some people have an Alum sensitivity. Does Alum really make it that much better? Also, as they still have stock with Alum, you may still get it. For instance if you look at the ingredients for Tombstone, Alum is still included. But if you look at Club Guy, none listed. So it still depends. Also what do you have against the new bottle? Still holds the same amount, but more unique. What's wrong with that?
The new bottle? It kind of reminds me of those bottle being sold at Good Will. But only my opinion. Everything is relevant to me that's relevant to me. ;-)
I Think PAA Stepped It Up A Notch With The New Bottles.... Look More Distinguished And Classy...... Wish He Would Have Kept the Alum as Part Of The Ingredients..... Helped With Healing And An Awsome Dry Down......
So for the Nay Sayers on the new Bottle; I just got two of the new ones. They are pretty awesome in person. Not at all cheap or goddy looking. They come in a nice box now that would protect them while not in use. Also the seal on the is a pretty nice touch. I'll post pictures in a bit.
It doesn't bother me if there is no Alum. Although there is potential for Alum to help cuts/weepers clot and heal a bit faster. I personally liked the Alum, but it won't keep me from buying the PAA splashes if they no longer use it. I'm just glad some companies make classic alcohol splash'n'sting aftershave. There is no better finish to a shave and it makes me wake up and feel alive.
