Vintage Aftershave Reviews

[Ron Scott]

I found this three-year-old thread while searching for a review of Oriental Jade aftershave, and I thought I would resurrect it since I ebayed a bottle this morning.

The vintage bug caught me. I've got some 50-year-old old spice, Zizanie, English leather, Roman Brio, this Oriental Jade.

It's a theme: mid-50s to mid-70s pop.

In any event the thread here seemed to me to have been very well done…

Here's an old timer,still being cranked out in Los Angeles.The master site ,http://www.elsha.com no longer displays the aftershave version,but that one is still available at http://www.sampters.com .It's a throw back for sure,suppsedly to the old Russian leather days,but very little "leather" in the mix today.Still,it's a good old fashioned a/s ,and if you want heavier scent go for the cologne version.Heavy glass bottle.

I know absolutely nothing about this site aside from the fact that it turned up in a Google search while I was looking for Aqua Velva Redwood.

They might be crooks. They might be awesome. I don't know. It isn't inexpensive. $59 for a 3.4 oz bottle of matched scent if it is one they already have.
