Sure Soft Solid Part IV

Previous related posts: I, II, III.

I finally ran out of my (discontinued) Sure Soft Solid supply. It lasted me a little over a year. While you can still find both Sure Soft Solid and the replacement Sure MAX online, they are terribly expensive. At brick-and-mortar stores  I couldn’t find either one. Not at HEB, not at Walmart, not at Walgreens.

What I did find at Walmart was a single lonely Old Spice Red Zone High Performance Solid bar, the one mentioned by Moi in this comment – he wasn’t lying after all. It was the “after hours” smell. Whatever that means.

Same parent company, same ingredients, but the smell… I already feel more manly.

Sure Soft Solid Part III

Sure Soft Solid and Sure Max

My supply of Sure Soft Solid has yet to run out (see this and this for background information). Recently, however, Moi and I got to compare our deodorants (this is how the Kirsch brothers bond).

Yes, it’s true: Sure Soft Solid and Sure Max are the same thing. Except the newer Sure Max has a whopping 20% of Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex Gly (anhydrous) instead of the now discontinued Sore Soft Solid’s paltry 19%. Now, I’m no chemist, but more Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex Gly to combat your offensive B.O. is a good thing in my book. Everything else appears to be identical. I’m not sure about the available scents, though. I never get the scents. In any case, this is all very good news.
