Brylcreem.. a relic of the past

[rulefan]

I've been using brut deodorant for last 3-4 years...I'm 41 today, feel like it's a very underrated scent.

As for brylcream... Since all the lockdowns my hair is longer and the old matte pastes don't cut the mustard, I wonder if brylcream could be the way forward.

It has been suggested that the Beatles long hair was the death knell for Brylcreem.

I love Brut antiperspirant. A small squirt lasts all day....

Absolutely! Just a dab, rub it in and you'll look as slick as a racing pigeon ?

Denis Compton (who he) endorsed it in the 40s & 50s. It was running out of steam by the end of the 60s

Well I never , thought they had stopped making it in the 60,s.
Never used it and didn't know/knew anyone that did

I think they should have stopped making Brut in the 60s.

Never needed to use it, being a slap head from late teens

Old Spice however, now you are talking ??

A guy I used to play hockey with worked for Proctor and Gamble in the mid to late 90's. The site he was at did a lot of perfume and after shave mfr. In blind smell tests Old Spice would win most popular smell time and time again. That site produced a lot of expensive brands and it always made him laugh that this won each time.

On holiday in Florida 3 years ago I was surprised to see Old Spice has quite a range in the supermarkets still. It's tainted here as a brand but I think over there it's pretty strong.

Don't you remember the TV and from the eighties??

"A little dab of Brylcreem on your hair, gives you the Brylcreem bounce"??
Quite catchy it was...
