Awesome Chris! I would like to score a vintage glass bottle like that even if it was empty. I could at least decant the modern day stuff into a classy glass bottle. I'm interested in your opinion as to how the vintage blend compares with the modern blend if you have a sample to compare. Some say the vintage blend is a little different than the modern day. Please let us Pinaud/Clubman lovers know.

Wow, these Le Grelots sure can shave! Thank you hi_bud_gl /Sham, what a nice edge you´ve put on it and a seriously nice and tender restore!! I think that they´re close relatives to Swedish straights/Heljes, in the way they shave and the construction of the blade/quality of steel. Just my two cents though.
What a nice shave it was today and I went French as far as I could today
This is a keeper, I´m buying a pouche for her.

Incredible shave! That little 23 is a beast - just lifted the stubble right off, and the cella just moisturizes the heck out of your face.

Great find Chris! Did you get a chance to compare the scents from Vintage to new. I'm curious if the formula has changed due to the plastic bottles of today. It's been over a decade at least since I've seen a glass bottle. Thanks for sharing! Great shot BTW!
