What is/was Dad's Aftershave?

My Dad used Old Spice and Aqua Velva if I recall. As a little kid in the 60's I remember watching him shave at the bathroom sink with his Super Speed and Barbasol canned shave cream.
 
Brute and aqua velva.

First AS my dad got me was brute.

It's strange how watching our fathers shave can burn such a memory into our heads, to the point where we can still smell the smell even if it's not there.
 
My dad wore Williams Lectric Shave and hair tonic...at first it was Wildroot until I was 11 and then Vitalis from then on. I still remember both scents on him and today (24 years after his death) they still remind me of him. They always had a clean smell.
 
My dad died in 1981. As far as I can remember he used Sking Bracer, although he would occaisonally purchase a bottle of Old Spice. He always had a bottle of bay rum in the medicine cabinet, but it lasted years and years. He did the same with witch hazel.
 
My Dad used Old Spice, I've recently followed suit buying vintage OS and my favourite OS Burley. The Scent of a Gent!
Jeez I love it
