Okay, after over a year and a half of being into this thing of ours and hearing all about "The Veg"..... I more or less figured that if the Veg wants me, it will make it's intentions known someday. That day may have been today. I'm not saying I'm one of the chosen today, but I am about to find out. Walking through an antique store with my daughter today, I noticed this little number on a shelf with a $3 price tag on it:
My daughter collects cat related knick knacks so she is usually on the lookout miniature cat statues and the like, so I thought it was quite ironic because..... well..... you know
.
I told her that some people think that this stuff is the greatest after shave in the world and others say it smells like cat.... ummmm..... urine. She smiled and laughed and scrunched up her nose. I slowly unscrewed the plastic cap as the bottle was approximately 1/5 full and we both took a sniff. My thought was, "not bad"..... hers was the same. I grabbed it and we went up to the counter with her little kitten in a shoe knick knack that she found for 50 cents..... $3.50 plus tax and we were out the door.
I went to the drugstore on the way home and picked up a new bottle of the Veg (which cost $7 by the way). I needed to know the vintage to new comparison:
I have not applied either to my skin, but smelling from the bottle I can definitely say that the vintage is "stronger" in scent..... although I would say that they are very similar otherwise. Okay, so we all know about what a travesty it is for aftershaves such as this to no longer come in a glass bottle, but what may get overlooked is the lack of flair with the descriptions of the product on the back of the bottle. Read the vintage and read the new and tell me which you find better.
