Some early bday presents [emoji4]has anyone else found the Saponificio Varesino "70th Anniversary" After Shave Lotion nearly impossible to get out? Or is mine off?

Yes, I had a bottle of Saponificio Varesino "70th Anniversary" After Shave Lotion in which the content got a bit jelly-like.
I managed to mix it up a bit using a small wooden pin. After this, long and hefty shaking got the consistence back to normal, scent was OK. Now I normally give the bottle a short shake just when I open my den, this helps to keep the lotion liquid.
Try also to check the label, if I recall right, there is a note that you should shake the product before use.

Thanks I did find after shaking it was slightly better. I contacted shave lounge about it and they have said it shouldn't be like that and are sending a new one.

I got one the same from eBay too, mine has more plate loss than yours but it cleaned up nicely and has shaved OK so far.

I think they are this one here:

But no idea of what age they might actually be.

 
The notches on the baseplate look unique. Otherwise it looks like the one I just sold here: http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/com...ed-gillette-new-flat-bottom-travel-set.41146/
