There aren't many products sold today that can claim they've survived 200 years of changing consumer tastes and fads of fashion. It takes a special product -- probably a simple product too -- to withstand such a test of time.

And so it was with great sadness that we heard the news that a number of products from Truefitt & Hill -- staples in the line for almost 200 years -- are being put to rest. May they rest in peace.

If you are a loyal fan of any of these products, it's best to stock up now, as once they're gone, they're gone:

• Aftershave in every scent
• Sandalwood & Rose Shave Cream
• All scented Shampoos
• C.A.R. Lotion
• Bath & Shower Gels in every scent
• Luxury Soaps in every scent

The good news is that there is still plenty of Truefitt & Hill to love, and many of the products have been replaced with "new and improved" versions of the old. New shampoos & conditioner, a hair pomade, new shave creams, and soaps for your skin. The curmudgeon in me naturally resists change of any kind, but the gentleman in me knows this is change for the better.
