Imperial Leather aftershave and soap on way

[roaduck]

Ordered a vintage 100ml new in box Cussons Imperial Leather Classic aftershave ; arriving next week together with 40 x Imperial Leather 90 gram soaps - can`t find the 185 gram bath soap size anywhere in bulk.

Reminds me of the 19th Century Forge Cottage in 1979 Yorkshire - making hundreds of horse-shoes, nails, scythes and sickles a week - shodding the hunt horses and racehorses in Wetherby - happy days going to school in Knaresborough etc.

Thank you WetShaveVet - I loved getting hot in a forge before and after school - at weekend I lost a stone in weight by Monday - no need for a gym in the Country.
There was only two farriers and one blacksmith for thousands of horses so I rolled my sleeves up and helped out - hard but fun !

Many years later I was an International Hi-Fi rep in Hong Kong and worked in a 150 year old forge with no electricity making Asian carbon knives at night and weekend to de-stress from the day`s high-pressure sales.
Naturally it was much hotter in China so I had to drink a lot of beer and mijiu rice wine to cool down afterwards - then gambling all night - naturally haha!
Kept me thin !

Definitely a classic, at least it brings back memories!!
