Thread: using vintage aftershave or cologne

I like to use old stuff. Out of 40 some NOS and used bottles and sets, some dating to the forties, perhaps earlier, I had one poor one. Garage sales are wonderful...as is Modine's stash. The 52+% grain alcohol makes them almost impervious to spoilage. Haven't tried burning any but they should glow well, they surely do make my face bright! I picked up a NOS "Wildroot Hair Oi"l today for a buck! Smells great!

Ahh, Pinaud Clubman. You'll feel like JFK Sometimes described as the quintessential Barbershop scent

Ok, just when I thought I had a complete thrift/garage sale/antique store shopping list, you guys gotta go add something else to it. Who knew?

Wildroot hair oil sounds interesting. Haven't seen that here in the uk. How old? Scent? smell?

Old Barbershop... a bit sweet and flowery.

Found it on amazon £20. ha ha they can suck my wildroot for that price, I wouldn't use it as an aftershave strides unless your looking for that oiled up stripper look.
