Aftershaves Left to Right: Avon Bravo, Avon Captain's Pride, Avon Seazone and sadly, the discontinued Caswell Massey Sandalwood After Shave Balm.

...Little 2-oz bottles -a great old collectible with four great old scents ... Ice Blue, Surf, Frost Lime, and Redwood.

I don't know if I'm going to use these - or just love 'em!

(Pics borrowed from the dbay seller - maybe I'll unleash my own camera someday!)

That is so awesome

Darn. I saw those a few times on the Bay and passed on them thinking it was just one container of regular AV!

I have never heard of those two.

Capt' Pride bottle contains 'Oland' - too vintagee smelling for me.
The Seazone does have a refreshing and lite scent which lasts for hours.

Three vintage AS - sadly out of production.

Mr. Ghe from Nettie Rosenstein (NY); Kent of London from Kent Toiletries (NY); and Houbigant Fougere Royale (NY & Paris).

I will be reviewing these.

This is from J.B. Williams - the Aqua Velva people. to my nose, these are dead ringers for Old Spice. (Incidentally: 2-oz. bottles.)

OK, I have seen the Oland bottle before, all empty though.

I have never seen that one, either.

Jon you are assembling quite a collection. It would be interesting to see if you approach one of the larger groupings of extinct juice in the world! It would be interesting to see if there is a significant group of collectors like yourself who primarily hunt old sauce.

I'm a contrary man, Mike. The day you went minimalist... why, I went maximalist!

I picked up this 1oz bottle of (cologne not AS) in Pensacola. I like the bottle and wish the label wasn't in such disrepair. I also wish I liked the smell. Doesn't smell like lime, more like AV.

Excellent get, Jim. Too bad about the scent--it looks like it should be Lime heaven.

Old Spice, 1983-1986, at least 3/4 full and smells good.
