What a fantastic thing to be able to say ... I shaved with a pair of razors from the early 1800s, lathered with a brush from the same century. Wonderful!
200 years old. Wow!

Vanda VH75 aftershave
Really good. Hadn't shaved since Friday morning and the razor and blade sliced beautifully through my stubble. Hadn't tried the LEA before and the first lather had too much water despite me trying to correct it; I think I didn't whip it up enough. Second lather for the second pass was much better. Great slip and more consistent distribution round my face. The soap has a plain generic soap smell which is not fancy but pleasant enough.
I wish I knew something about this aftershave - who made it, when... maybe some old adverts for it. Not found anything on Google.
An aftershave alcoholic, "NOS" for New Old Stock. Vanda The brand is a company (I think French) cosmetic 70-80 years now defunct. My mother worked for the brand and got me a box of old unsold this glorious era. And I'm crazy for this perfume After shave, unfortunately I can not tell you what there is in it, the The label is pretty basic: VH75 aftershave, dopobarba blah blah blah. I will make you a picture when I have more time (and I think to suggest one or two bottles PA one day or another .. .).
