I saw it at the store once, near hair gel and shaving creme. Check around there.

duh! i guess the stores in my area do not carry this product any more.  
i’m not looking for plain brylcreem or the  
gray hair formula, just the antidandruff formula.

Not that you asked, but the best way to get rid of flakes is to wash the hair every day or every other day. Might make an interesting topic here.

I never had it, but my grandpops did.

He said rinse with beer or vinegar, the sting you feel, is a cleaning. It will go away after a few days.

I didnt really see flakes on him, so I guess it works.
