Picked this up at a local Op shop for a whole $2.00. Still wrapped in a plastic sleeve, Avon Black Suede Touch Aftershave Conditioner. I used to love this stuff many years ago.
You are a blessed man!Oh, what a great life I have lived.
Amen my friend. You honestly will never meet or hear of anyone as blessed as the Tanned ungentlemanly Farmer.You are a blessed man!
Body wash, maybe?I found this interesting looking bottle in a thrift store yesterday. It's too big to be for aftershave or perfume, but does anybody have an idea what it might have contained when new?

I've never tried that "new" one either, but if I ever find one "in the wild" I will most certainly bag it! Thank you for the review my friend!Came across a 1981 bottle of Bay Rum for $5.
I heard this anniversary release from Avon didn’t have the same magic as the 60’s original, and I Always wanted to see how far it had fallen but eBay prices were never justifiable to me.
A sniff from the bottle while in the store smelled very much like the original to my nose so I grabbed it. It’s also very easy on the eyes and I have an addiction, what can I say?
Just splashed some on now and time will tell if anything changed as far as lasting power but for now, I have to say, it’s not bad at all and is much more like the original than I expected.

So I need to save my money for the original from the early 1960s it seems!Avon's Bay Rum has never been accused of lasting for a long time, but the 1981 "reformulation" while very similar in scent, is even more fleeting. Having said that, I'll maintain that it's not as bad as I expected.

It is some really nice stuff.
Great find. The bottle alone is well worth the cost.Came across a 1981 bottle of Bay Rum for $5.
