Hair tonics

I have been using a vintage old spice hair tonic that I love. What vintage/modern hair tonics should I be trying????
 
Pinaud has 3 without oil. Eau de quinine is my favorite, Eau de Portugal smells like orange peel and clubman tonic smells like clubman aftershave. Pashana makes an original hair tonic I like. All of these use glycerin I believe. They all double as decent aftershave as well.

Eau de Portugal is my favorite. Lots of newer ones from home brewers stemming up now too. Haven't tried any of those yet though.

Here I am, 1st again.
I am using some Vitalis now.

It's from 1960, and the paper on the outside is peeling off.
 
An old-fashioned one still around is Jeris - made both with and without oil. It was used by barbershops mostly but its very available to purchase. Vaseline hair tonic is no longer made but I think it can still be bought at various places - try on-line perhaps. Vitalis is around everywhere as are various knock-off versions of it. Lucky Tiger has a few around and it can be found in some stores but definitely on-line. Another one often found in drug stores is Tres Flores (Three Flowers) - it has Hispanic origins but is widely sold all around the US. Wildroot is another one found easily at drug stores, etc.
