Brylcreem...

2 May 2008

I was at work the other day... and an old guy bought some brylcreem... It made me and i started to think back when i was a kid and my dad used to get ready to go out and use it.... along with the famous Old Spice after shave :haha:
To be honest... i think he still uses them both now and i'm in my 30's
:haha:

Oh lil ...I thought they were old hat too, but my son bought old spice because he liked the smell, and his dress sense is really good.

The stuff the lads put on hair these days tho!!! I try not to touch my sons hair, it stands up all on its own... confused

I think there was definitely a fifties connection with the Brylcreem and Old Spice thing...My father was a RAF regular and I think the Brylcreem was a legacy from those days...As for Old Spice, it still makes me think of warm, steamy kitchens and ascot water heaters and shaving sticks. I bet Dad still has a bottle of it somewhere too...
I remember the ointments, lotions and potions from the Seventies more when I was beginning to learn how to shave...

Brut...With Henry Cooper, Kevin Keegan and John Conteh splashin' it all over...
Denim...With the evocative denim press-stud shirt being invaded by the manicured hand of a woman who couldn't resist the smell...With the tag line "For men who don't have to try...too hard" :lol:
Hai Karate...With the TV ad of a sexually enraged Valerie Peron kicking and chopping her way to a be-spectacled civil servant wearing the "scent of adventure" (Each bottle even - laughingly came with instructions on how to do self defence to fend the woman off - Hai Karate . . . Be careful how you use it) :lol: :lol: :lol:
Pagan Man anyone?
Anyone else out there still permanently scarred from the over-indulgent use of Aqua Manda. Smelt of oranges, felt like battery acid... :lol:
Happy memories... :)

I remember them all except for the last one...... was that for men? Sounds more fem...

Werent the RAF lads referred to as 'The Brylcreem Boys'? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere.
I vaguely remember Aqua Manda,or something similar sounding. Its all a distant memory to me at my age :lol:
