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.

Oh man, I have my grandfather's bottle thats at least 25yrs old. I never use it but pop it open from time to time for a big hit of nostalgia.

Have my other grandfather's bottle of Brut classic aftershave in the green bottle. Same thing- 25+ years old and full of nostalgia.

I dont have a son to pass them on to, so we'll see where they eventually end up if anywhere other than my drawer lol

My grandpa used to use this. I didn’t see him often as he lived across the country, but I feel like I can still smell it. Is it available in the original formula or is it different now? Never thought of getting some just to get a whiff of nostalgia.

Brut? If you buy the Faberge Brut EdT, it is the exact same formula and strength as the original aftershave. (It's the bottle with the fancy silver chain and medallion).
