So I visited my grandfather recently and he asked if I was still shaving with the razor he gave me and I said yes, then he gave me a box full of vintage Old Spice bottles and an Avon Wild Country AS bottle. The crazy thing is that most of them are full of AS.

You might want to post this in the AS forum, also. There is a thread in there about vintage Avon- lots of pics in that thread.

Enjoy. Unless the storage conditions were very unfavorable, you'll find that to be very good stuff.

There is something to be said about having kids early, so they can enjoy their Grandparents. Just awesome!

Nice haul!

I still remember the old AS bottles my grandfather had, unfortunatly he died before I got into wet shaving so my mother and aunt didn't keep any of his old shaving gear :sad:

However my dad seems to think he still has some stuff from his grandfather in the loft for which I'm on a promise. A straight and some other things, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It is great when grandkids come over, so you can get them all jacked up on sugar before the parents pick them up. Oh, payback is so great sometimes :biggrin:
