My Shultonian Sins

[The Nid Hog]

I bought a bottle of vintage Old Spice cologne on eBay and it came with a can of Old Spice shaving cream. From Shulton.

You can see my dilemma, can't you? Sure, it's a vile can of goo. Sure, using it betrays all of the effort that I've put into mastering my lathering technique. Sure, it flies in the face of my sense of the importance of a relaxing shave in the morning.

But it's Shulton. Don't you see? There are drops, tiny drops, of the original fragrance inside that can.

I woke up early yesterday. Early enough to take my time and work up a good lather. I could have even picked up a puck of vintage Shulton Old Spice soap. But I didn't. I grabbed that can of foam and blasted out a huge, rich gob of it. One pass, then more cream. And that's how it went. Before I knew it, the deed was done.

But I'm not ashamed! No, not me. Not at all. It was wonderful!

<sob>

Oh God, what have I done?

I am sending you a "Vintage shave product guilt free pass" Via USPS.

I don't use the goo straight....but I will super lather with it, just to get that fragrance in the mix, plus it makes the can last longer.

The menthol is super great!!!!

Normally you'd have to walk the plank for using canned goo

But this was Shulton. Old Spice. SHULTON Old Spice.
You can feel better now.

Just don't make a habit of reaching for cans while shaving

Don't worry about me. I've learned my lesson. Yessir. Never again.

I'm just going to throw out the can so I won't be tempted. Well, I guess that I'll probably put it under the sink until I can think of where to recycle it. In fact, maybe I'll just leave it on the counter. So I don't forget. To throw it out...

If Nid can do it....

Hey, it's a glass bottle of Ice Blue, and Bob the Builder is kind of vintage....

And he's kind of manly too!

I think that all bets are off when it comes to something that we really have a nostalgic attachment to.
Any of us would do the same. And I'd keep my can and use it now and again just for Sh#ts and grins.
If I had a can.
Which I don't.






Yet.
