Germolene makes a great post shave

Haven't seen Germolene in years, do they still make it ?




Blimey they do ! Bet it's different though, no doubt they have dropped and ingredient or that pink colour.

Bringing back memories here.

Going up the shop with a hand written note for 20 ciggies for my dad. 10p mix ups or 1/4 of sweets.

Also going up the pub where they had an off licence counter.

Germolene and cut to size fabric plaster.

Yep,I got sent off to the 'Off Sales' part of our local too...For more GV+green Rizzlas!,usually when the shops had shut.But if I was lucky,I could hit the ole man for a 10p (large) bag of chips for going....But then again,if he was in a bad mood (which 9 times out of ten he was) a 2p bag of tomato flavor 'Snaps' was the best to be expected!,or a thick ear if he was in a really bad mood!.

Ah me, germolene, the cure all of the 1950s . Between that and Zambuck my mummy needed little else for everyday running repairs.

That, Germolene and TCP, in fact I can still smell the last TCP I used back in 1981.

I still use TCP and Dettol!.

Even the Adverts the Pits....

The "Good Auld Days"....

Germolene is still available, both as an ointment and a cream, still smells the same and is still virulent pink in colour. In my opinion, it's also excellent for just about anything!

I use Dettol shave cream if my face gets irritated. Soothes the irritation at the expense of smelling rather phenolic!

Like traditional shaving, some of the old things were quite good!

I've lived in the UK for over 15 years and I still don't understand how cricket is played.

Well, it's like this.........

Only thing I know about cricket is that googlies are amusing.
