    I find that I still enjoy a Barbasol shave and probably use it 3 to 4 times a month. My favorites are the Skin Conditioner (yellow), Arctic Chill (light blue) and of course Original (Red). I find with good prep and technique, that I get fantastic shaves. I have a soft spot for Barbasol as it will always have a spot in my rotation. Now I use and love my TOBS, Proraso and RazoRock the majority of the time but just can't help but reach every now and then for this piece of American history. Admit it, how often do you use it?

    P.S. don't judge me, LOL!

    A travel size can of the red stripe is in my Dopp at work. Use it about 1x per week with a Techmatic, whenever I leave the house late. I prefer good soap but it works like a charm. No complaints here. I'd like to find a travel sized Menthol (which I really like) but I bet they don't make it.

    I have a can I picked up at the Dollar Tree. I use it for shaving my pits. It has a nice smell; the cream that is.

    Used the Red can for many years and still have a can stashed away. Can't bring myself to toss it! It would be like dumping an old friend! I'll have to dig it out and give it a go.

    Haven't used canned goo since I took up a DE and brush about 8 years ago.
    And if I have it my way, I'll never use canned goo.

    It's your shave. Enjoy it your way.

    I think the Barbasol is about the best can stuff out there! Haven't used it in quite awhile though!

    I recently started using the kind with aloe. Good stuff! Leaves my skin feeling great!

    Same here. Canned foam is NOT allowed in my house. Unless a guest of mine is sleeping over for the night or whatever.

    If I'm in a rush, I have a can Barbasol Soothing Aloe on stand by.

    It's much better than the goo made by Edge, Gillette, Axe etc.

    If I'm in a rush, I don't shave.

    Got no use for it, but if it works for you, it's all good.

    SOS to all the shavers at sea...

    Confirmed with the good folks at Barbasol that the purple isn't sold in my area. If anyone has it local, I'll gladly reimburse you for a can, shipping and your time.
