NOS Old Spice shave soap

[m3m0ryleak]

Picked some up (in a late glass 04 mug, circa 1992?) via another site's B/S/T. Creamy, cushiony, tallow lather (lots of it).
Why can't P&G still make this?

They could make it or have it made but I would be surprised if they did.

Yeah, Tony, it is good stuff, I've used it in the past. Their bath soap, in the shape of a whale's tooth was pretty good too! But that was back when Shulton was the owner; P&G is too "big" to consider such a trivial matter as to make a good tallow shave soap. Probably not enough money in it.

I'm a bit too cynical, I admit. They'd have to have a projected market penetration of astronomical proportions, fueled by major media advertising campaigns, with millions of units needing to be sold rapidly in order to even consider a new product. I'm just guessing.

What's always puzzled me is that the recipes for all of these wonderful old products could be rounded up and purchased for royalties from the current owners, and could be manufactured in relatively small runs and sold to guys like you and me.

Also, P&G is already tying up their efforts in the wet shaving area in Art of Shaving. The Old Spice brand does not really fit with the AOS image.

The company I work for manufactures a good deal of P&G's aerosol products, and we were told yesterday P&G are planning to eliminate over 5000 jobs over the course of this year. We aren't sure how this will affect our contracts with them yet.

Maybe business wouldn't be so bad if they listened to the consumers and made the quality products we want and stopped messing with the formulas of products that have been around for decades.
