HELP!!!! They stopped making my Aftershave!

Asked by mowens (8403points) January 12th, 2012

I am guessing it has been gone for quite some time. I buy things in bulk, so I don’t have to shop often… because I hate wasting that time. Anyway, I used to use Gillette Fusion Aftershave, in an orange bottle… and I can’t find it anywhere. I tried their new crap, and it sucks. Plus it has alcohol in it!!!! I want a moisturizer not something that will dry my skin up!!! My question is 2 part.

1. Have you seen this for sale anywhere? There is one place on Amazon that claims to sell it for 25 bucks but that is expensive. Plus, they stopped making my facewash too. (nivea) When I ordered that on Amazon, instead of facewash, I got 15 bottles of Men’s hair remover.
2. What kind of aftershave do you like? I liked the orange bottle because it made my face look smoother, and younger.

I have never heard of this product before, but I would recommend Nivea aver shave balm. It is a tad expensive but the stuff lasts forever as you only need a tiny bit. However it does not exactly have a nice smell, it’s not that it smells bad, just it does not have a strong nice smell that lasts.

Personally, I use Nivea after shave balm as a moisturizer and to soothe, then I add some Gucci guilty for a nice smell. My girlfriend seems to like the combo quite a lot, so I’ll be sticking with that combo for a while.

Have you looked on drugstore.com???? I find them to be a consistently reliable source for many cosmetics, etc. that are discontinued in retail stores.

Good luck!

Sorry to spin this another route. But I was like you, stuck to my brands, was into Nivea amongst other Gillete items. This Christmas my wife bought me this stuff. Jack Black Beard Lube I was like whoa! When I used it. I was a skeptic at first because I was just trying to be nice to my wife but the fact that there is no alcohol or crazy foam action I love it. It moisturizes and shaves at the same time so theres no need for after shave.

@mowens I see a bottle of this on Ebay.

I, too, suggest saving it as a search in Ebay, and shopping at drugstore.com. Many of the online drugstores will have cases of discontinued products.

I just got back from the supermarket (Morrisons UK) and they have the product you mention in stock and on the shelf at this very moment, so it still exists.

That settles it… I am moving to the UK.

@mowens That means that plenty of UK sellers will list them on ebay, too. My sis uses a discontinued lipstick that I now buy her from UK sellers.
