The Good Old Euro Palmolive shave stick discontinued.??

Greetings Gentlemans,

So I have heard some rumors that the Legendary Palmolive shave stick made in Germany is no longer produced.

If anyone of you can provide any information will be much appreciated.!

 

Is it too late to stock up? I purchased a couple sticks around a year ago, then gave one away. Like ARKO it's inexpensive yet effective. Hate to see it discontinued.

 

Nooooooooo!!!!!!

Say it ain’t so!!!!!!!!!!

 

Paulhfilms mentioned in his last video that is indeed discontinued.

Very sad.!! it's a true classic and a great inexpensive soap.

I just hope they will not discontinued the Palmolive classic shaving cream made in Belgium.

 

Very disappointing

 

That sucks if true. Wonder if this is the same kinda scare that happened with Williams awhile back? Word was that it was discontinued but turned out to be a false rumor. Time will tell I reckon.

 

Paulhfilms mentioned in his last video that he visited the usual markets where he used to buy Palmolive shave sticks and he said that shelfs are empty all gone!!

I also checked out eBay and prices are ridiculously expensive!!

I have 3 Palmolive shave sticks inside my vintage Old Spice mug and 12 more left back-up.

 

Could be a case of Guerrilla marketing.

Creating a stampede to get all the product off the shelves every where? Maybe Palmolive has a new label and it's easier to panic folks into stocking up so they don't have the same old unsold product being returned for lack of the New Improved label.

Same thing happened with Twinkies when Hostess announced "The End". Shortly there after Grupo Bimbo had their Twinkie machine up and running.

 

I had just decided that Palmolive shave stick was going to be my go to shave stick because it was cheap, smelled good and performed well. I am really taking this hard.

Somebody needs to get on making a Palmolive clone.

Is that just a thought or do you really suspect that?

 

I just emailed Palmolive to try and find a solid answer.

 

Thank you!

 

It is still available at Connaught Shaving from the UK. I just grabbed 4 sticks, just in case.

 

Many thanks

Thank you all for the very helpful info.

 

Manufacturers have adjusted their marketing and distribution before. They've also closed their doors and quit making popular products. A clone of the soap only needs someone to purchase a franchise license. Since Colgate-Palmolive is a $2 billion dollar net income (2017) international company based in Manhattan, NY you'd think they could set up a plant on their home soil.

Think I read it's no longer available from Australian outlets. Unintended consequences of Brexit? Lots of international relations up in the air right now.

 

brexit may change a few things we'll see..

 

Good call. It's disappeared from there, too.

 

According to a thread in german forum.nassrasur.com the Palmolive stick has been discontinued.

RIP

 

I’ve already stocked my European Palmolive sticks almost three years ago, I’m still very lucky to have them into my den.

17 refill sticks plus 3 sticks grated into a tub showing above the top right.
