Whilst doing some cleaning, I found a bottle of this:

I dread to think how old it is.

It's also bloody awful stuff, that belongs in hell with Hai Karate.

Re: the above - it smelt utterly awful to me... but it was very successful in Britain, not least to this commercial:

...I suppose it was the 70s equivalent of Lynx: put this on, and bikini-clad supermodels will fall at your feet. As if. Brut? Might have been a 'great smell' when you put it on, but a few hours later, to my nose, it smelt like BO....

But of course, another example of an awful product with a superb advert series:

In the U.S. 1970s it was a prerequisite before going out whether the beard was coming in quickly or not at all; today, I still like a close shave after a few days of sloth and then, a very hot towel followed by a spash of Skin Bracer.

Does that mean you haven't done any cleaning since 1978?

I can't use aftershave as it tends to make my alabaster skin break out, but I HAVE found that dabbing a bit of greasy dog shit behind each ear goes a LONG way toward preventing folks from violating my "personal space" whilst on line

Just like the U.S. Hai Karate commercials- except everybody has funny accents....
