Hello All,
In case you have been waiting for Old Spice Classic (Original Round Stick Formula) roll-on deodorant to reappear on the supermarket shelves the news is bad. I had thought the bare supermarket shelf space in the deodorant section might have been due to some COVID related ingredient supply issues, or that somewhere a delayed cargo ship full of Old Spice "Classic" was bobbing around in the ocean while on its way to Australia. I contacted the distributor and was informed in Australia Old Spice "Classic" has not been available in Australia since November 2021 and it has been discontinued. So much for over three decades of brand loyalty from some of its consumers - such as me.
There are some re-sales companies overseas who are offering multiple units however the postage/freight is a real killer. In Australia Old Spice does have a new roll-on called "Swagger" it has less volume and is dearer than the "Classic" used to cost - go figure! So far I have only found the new product Swagger in Woolworths.
Kind regards
Lionel

The same could be said of the whole forum. Consider it more of an announcement for change averse individuals.Originally Posted by DeanoH

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Hello All,
I was not going to suggest that Land Rover make a personal hygiene product like a deodorant because they have already ignored customer loyalty by discontinuing the Defender. A "First World problem" - how many pages of forums were devoted to the abhorrent act of no new Defenders? Plus, the deodorant product would leak out of the container and leave territorial marks everywhere, especially if it was sold as a "Classic" (Series) product.
Kind regards

Quite a few new Defenders around now.
They smell different and their owners don't have beards.

SupporterThis is terrible news.
I mean, admittedly I haven't come into contact with an Old Spice product since around 1988, when somebody gave me some aftershave (I think I still have it: never was one for aftershave), but Old Spice has always been there. I could never have said for sure that I wasn't suddenly going to turn into a sworn, dyed-in-the-wool, rusted-on Old Spice deodorant-user......and now that option is closed to me forever. It's just gone - and I'm really feeling it.
Still, on the bright side.... I still have my stash of Ultrabrite toothpaste (the real stuff, containing Toluene or Benzine or cocaine or tapeworm eggs or Radium or whatever was in it - not the recent poor imitation) which I stockpiled in the late 90s....and the sack of Dunlop Volleys which I wisely collected a few years before that. They said I was mad, but who's mad now, eh??? Ehh?? Eh?? Ehhhhhh????
I wonder what I might get for my aftershave...?
P.S. My freezer-full of Golliwog biscuits eventually got eaten.

Hello Johnno,
No not exactly terrible news - Old Spice have not left the scene entirely. They replaced the "Classic" with a new product "Swagger' as pictured. I am sure you will sleep easier now.
Kind regards
