Vintage Avon find

[Mlee]

I found this bottle of Trailblazer After Shave this weekend at a flea market. I like it and my wife likes it, to me it has a more modern smell but I'm not one of those guys that can describe a smell. Has anyone else tried it and if so can you describe what it smells like?

Picked up Clint cologne, a small 2 oz bottle. I'm intrigued, but I''d really like to try the aftershave.

First purchase of an AVON find - $1 not the normal $5-$10 ($3 if empty!)

Full never opened - Leather - will use tonight

Awesome find! Enjoy... Yes I'm jealous, lol.

Thanks!
I can not seem to find the $1-2 bottles, everything is overpriced IMO.

I do have an opportunity to buy a bulk purchase that I hope will work out - otherwise I think it will end up being $4 a NIB - which I will probably do.

I just bought 3 for $3 ea. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Great find, leather is one of my favorite Avon scents.

Nice^^

I ended up finding "the box" I once saw months ago (at a shop) that I thought had a bunch of Avon, but before I knew that it was something to look for - most was Ladies but ended up buying the only AS in there ($2 each) Orland 1/2 full, Windjammer unopened, and Wild Country unopened plus an old spice mug/cup

 

[TheVez2]

That's the morning refresher coffee mug. Great find! And the Avon too, of course.

And just curious, when you say unopened.....how do you know?

I am assuming I guess - the box is relevantly "tight" if that makes sense and the cap is also very tight and look to be completely full.

But yeah now that I think about it I have no idea

Edit: the 1/2 full also the box looked to be chewed in the corner

Nice find. Have you tried the Black Suede yet, if so how did you like it? I found a bottle that looked new in the box, a few months ago but haven't used any yet. I found it in a second hand store and didn't realize it was AVON until I got home.

All I see when shopping is way too pricey.

 

[TheVez2]

Sniffed in the bottle. Smells sort of like Stetson. Haven't tried post shave yet. But it's a currently produced scent and $3 is way less than they sell it for, so I couldn't pass it up.

Same here - I had two good finds (posted above) the rest is usually in the $10 range and sometimes they are empty at that price!

Great scores gents Must admit I use Black Suede most days that's one of the wifes fav on me but we don't get the Avon Trazarra over here in the UK and I aint paying $11.99 plus $53 shipping from the states so it would cost me $64.99

 

[TheVez2]

How does shipping to the U.K. Cost that much?

I don't know mate, this is on the bay as that's the only place I can find it.
