Palmolive Classic

Ok, here in this forum, pretty much the majority of the members including myself agree that the Palmolive shaving cream and the soap stick are good performers and good value for money.
The subject I don't/can't understand; why do they market the normal version in different packaging in other countries and why they wouldn't market the other versions(menthol,sensitive, etc..) in some other countries?
Also here in the UK, Wilkinson Sword brand is in mens grooming sector and some of their products are widely available at majority of shops like shaving soap in bowl, shaving brush so on.. but their aftershave splashes and their shaving soap stick is not!! why? These are universal brands and what makes them to decide not to market certain products in certain countries, if it was something continental then yes I can understand to a certain degree but this strange marketing strategy takes place in the EU countries.

Wet shavers of the world unite and take over. :D

Market forces at work I guess. It applies to many other things not just shaving goods. I imagine there are forum users in Italy who are angry and sad they aren't able to buy Richmond sausages in Italy.

I can understand that, and I can understand why we can't buy Proraso or Lea shaving products because they are national brands and as an example; same vehicle is Vauxhall in the UK and Opel in rest of Europe but Wilkinson stick would be a serious competitor to Palmolive stick

you never know you may get an honest answer!
 
OK I bought some of the Palmolive Sensitive (with Aloe Vera) on E Bay, and tried it today. The cream is white rather than green. It could be because I know it has Aloe Vera in rather than Palm Extract but it feels softer. There's no astringency there at all. I liked it, I shall use it some more before I buy six tubes though. I mean a whole £12, I don't want to profligate do I!
