Highland Leather - Wild, Uninhibited, Gloriously English. Should some have pointed out the the Highlands are in Scotland, therefore not English?!!!!

I have the Tropic Lime. Still pretty good. A dry lime with a bit of musk (or it's just gone off). I use it every now and then in the summer.
Nice ad. Thinking of the year 1967 and how my grandfather at the time would've probably thought $2 was a real waste of money on a bottle of aftershave which he would've regarded as something more like "perfume". Those were definitely different times. I really enjoy the nostalgic aspect of traditional wetshaving, but can't say that I can relate to it on a personal level since most of the men in my family did not use anything much more than a de razor and a can of shave cream to my memory. I'm sure my grandfathers and great-grandfathers used a soap and brush at one time.... but I don't remember them talking about it or seeing it. Recently, my mother mentioned that her dad used Old Spice, but again, I don't remember smelling it on him or seeing the bottle sitting on his dresser. My grandfathers are probably both upstairs right now shaking their heads at the amount of money I've spent on "perfume".

Wow! Target existed in 1967!?
The company was founded in 1902 in Minneapolis as the Dayton Dry Goods Company, though its first Target store was opened in 1962 in nearby Roseville, Minnesota. Target grew and eventually became the largest division of Dayton Hudson Corporation, culminating in the company being renamed as Target Corporation in August 2000. On January 13, 2011, Target announced its expansion into Canada. Target will operate 100 to 150 stores in Canada by 2013, through its purchase of leaseholds from the Canadian chain Zellers.
