Does anyone remember what "Skintimate" shave gel used to be called?

Skintimate shave gel was brought on the market sometime in the early 90s, but it had a different name.
Does anyone remember? I think it was something punny, but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was.
I’m just curious – this is one of those little things that’s been driving me nuts for years now.

Here in WI, I think it was always called Skintimate. It was a former holding of a local company called SC Johnson the owners of Glade, pledge, etc
Hmm… Well, I guess I could be thinking of a different brand that’s no longer available, but I’m pretty sure that, at least in Canada, Skintimate was originally marketed under a different name. I have a fuzzy memory of a name change and thinking that the new name was stupid, but I could be inventing that.
Are you thinking of EDGE which was the male beard shaving gel ? ? Sold by the same company.
@Tropical_Willie – Nope. This was made for women, and I remember its coming on the market because it happened around the time I started to shave my legs when I was 12 or so. Maybe it’s just an invented memory.
@Seelix Was it the same type of can/bottle?
@SpatzieLover – It was. It’s not that big a deal, just a little niggling thing :)
Ahhh…that’s why I asked….I couldn’t remember the name, but the bottle was different for that product here. It was a squeeze bottle. I loved the stuff, but it didn’t last long here.
Softsense, I remember. I guess Skintimate is supposed to sound sexier. Seems to me the suggestion of sex as in soft sounds sexier.
No matter what the article said, I think they had to switch because of the lotion/soap with the same name by Jergens.
