Style Change for Barbasol
FYI: Just noticed this today while at the store, Barbasol has changed the style of their cans. Might want to grab a few if you can find the old style

Oh my. What's the shelf life on shaving cream?
Re: Style Change for Barbasol
Buy em while you can. I wonder if the can safes will get the new art as well.. I bought the last 2 they had at the local grocery store. So I have 2 shaving creme cans and 1 can safe. From the looks of my can safe they got the can straight from the manufacturer so I bet they change as well.. depending on current stock levels of course.

Did you get the night vision goggles as well? I'm wondering how those turned out.DrewSmith007 wrote:It was just a matter of time. Sure am glad I picked up one of Rylo's cans already!

He just posted another progress shot on the rpf. They're looking great, but I didn't get them. I'm building my own though, but I dont work on them much.
Re: Style Change for Barbasol
Easy with those can safes; they are not the correct size. Something about the weld makes them too tight. The UPC code is also the same with the new can as the old. Couple this with the fact that most on-line sources are using stock photos of the old can make buying the correct style on the net almost impossible. The stores are pretty much out of the old stock, too.
This means that unless a prop maker stocked up, there will be no more runs of cryocans. Even then, they will be limited. There is a high rate of loss when cutting the cans. I lose 1 in 3.
In the future, people can of course still make replicas but they'll be using new cans (if those are still the proper size) or cans with wraps. They will be poor imitations.
I suggest getting a replica with the proper can while you can. Once people realize what's happening they'll notice sales have dried up, too. This will boost the secondary market pretty fast and send prices up.
Simply put. Buy now, save later!

I've got a small stash of cans as I use it to shave and I'm still on my first can from over a year ago.
