    Still no find on the Century Can. @ilts and I may have the only 2 remaining on the face of the earth. Oh, and @Hoss304 -let's make it the last 3. I'm sure this post will be changed and rechanged with new discoveries lol.

    The Purple can is my new favorite. It gives a shave with awesome glide and skin protection. To me it is just a tad bit better than the yellow can. Now if they will just bring the Lemon/Lime back into production.

    They should have made "Century Cans" for all Barbasol types(Well, yours does come CLOSE as it acknowledges the 100 years, but I'm talkinabout the most recent one).

    I must admit that while I was initially unimpressed with New Purple (Old Purple=Mountain Blast), it has become one of my favorites and I use it much more than Yellow.

    While it's been more than 10 years since I've seen Lemon Lime, Extra Moisturizing went away for many years and is now with us again--so there's hope.

    Seems nobody here ever mentions Mountain Blast. I rarely saw it in stores and never tried it as I was using hard soaps and Barbasol Cool Menthol exclusively during its run. Does anybody here miss it?

    For what it's worth, here's a list of current and vintage Barbasol varieties that I've seen:

    Barbasol Thick & Rich Shaving Cream:
    Original
    Arctic Chill
    Cool Menthol
    Extra Moisturizing
    Lemon Lime
    Mountain Blast
    Pacific Rush
    Pacific Rush with Caffeine and Menthol
    Sensitive Skin
    Skin Conditioning
    Soothing Aloe

    Barbasol Gel:
    Original
    Extra Protection
    Lemon Lime
    Sensitive Skin
    Soothing Aloe

    Barbasol Ultra:
    Extra Moisturizing cream
    Sensitive Skin cream
    Extra Moisturizing gel
    Sensitive Skin gel
    Extra Protection gel

    Of all the retired varieties, I miss Lemon Lime the most--but that's only because I have six cans of Cool Menthol on hand. It will be a sad day in my Shave Den when the last can of Cool Menthol runs out.

    I remember seeing it when I was using Arctic Chill, and Soothing Aloe (Green Can). I never got around to trying it.

    Have you ever tried applying the lather with a brush?. I find hydrated Barbasol lather work's better. My brush makes it easier too.

    Nice combo. As for me, that baby goes straight onto my hand(the Barbershop).

    I always use a soaked/shaken-out brush to apply Barbasol: a dollop on the end of my RazoRock Snowman does the job.

    You would be surprised how much less Barbasol is needed using this method versus applying by hand.
