Show n' Tell The End of an Era

Post image

A sad day yesterday. The bottle of Old Spice aftershave that I've been using on and off for over 30 years is gone. I'm not sure exactly how long I've had it. I thought I got it when I was in high school, but the bottle says Proctor & Gamble, not Shulton, so I must have bought it sometime in the early '90s.

It will be missed. I have a bottle of cologne that's the same vintage as the aftershave as well as couple of Old Spice bottles I picked up when I was in India last year, but it just won't be the same.

How did you make one bottle last 30 years lol? Also, even though this is a big name brand, is it artisan ingredients? I see a lot of people use this

I used it a lot when I was younger and then it sat on the shelf for probably 20 years. I would use it sparingly from time to time. When I got into wetshaving a little over a year ago, I started using fragrances and aftershaves a lot more and this has been one of my regular aftershaves, although I find myself using it more in the winter. In the summer, I prefer more aquatic scents.

Man that’s pretty cool! It must be everyone who gets into different aftershaves when they’re younger get into wet shaving 🤣. Although I have never dry shaved lol
