Re: Vintage aftershave odyssey
Gillete's tend to be very mild razors, I think the Gillete Tech was one of the least aggressive razors ever made. These are good razors to use feathers in, as putting a feather in something as aggressive as a Muhle R89, Barbisol DE or Merkur "Futur" is a recipe for pain.

I have some friends who were 'Brother Andrew' types smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. At least once when apprehended they got out of jail (before getting sent to deep lockup) by passing the guards their stash of American razor blade.

Re: Vintage aftershave odyssey
I obtained entry number 2 last night while at the store - Brut. It had an actual, thick layer of dust on the shoulders of the bottle. That says vintage to me.
I'm not sure how to describe scents... like wines? "Brut has an angular afterglow with a sensation of burnt cork. The viscosity is puckishly teal."
Only the first day, but I think I like it. I may like the Clubman better, though.

Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I see that Clubman also has a Bay Rum variety. I wonder how it compares to the Dominican Bay Rum from The California Trading Company?
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

I must admit, I missed your allusion entirely, unless you're being literal.
And where does one find witch hazel?
