I have two vintage Avon's, the Wild Country and Leather. They are so unique I cannot describe them. They are strong when applied and fade over an hours time. They are perfect for winter and are cheap here in the US. You can get a full bottle for under $20, likely closer to $10 in some crazy bottle. My Leather came in a bottle shaped like the US capital and the Wild Country in a lighthouse (or vice versa). Neither bottle shape made sense to the scent, but that's how they were selling them back in the 60's and 70's. If you don't like them, you can always PIF!

Lather from the soap was thick creamy slick with a mild scent.
Wanted a mild shave and this razor paired with the blade gives exactly that. Auto cruising smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a surprisingly efficient result of mostly bbs to dfs. Very enjoyable. Excellent aftershaves.
