    It's too bad that I don't like Old Spice. Some of those bottles are magnificent.

    Hmmmm......

    Looks like it used to be fun to be a man.

    Still is.

    Secret is to know that other men will understand, and to not care what non-men think.

    Cursive is coming back, in some places.

    My mother always laughed when I said that word(cursive). Maybe she just thought it didn't fit for its meaning. Or perhaps that it sounds funny. Or BOTH.

    Very unique. Thumbs up for this design. Avon sure made a lot of interesting designs, some downright silly. One of the silliest was a tennis racquet, and another was a spark plug.

    The luck and irony that this was made in 1973, my birth year, and in the form of a safety razor. NOS, full.

    On the tennis racquet, where do you open up for the A.S.-the bottom of the racquet? I don't want to PRESUME that to be the case, as it would make a pres out of u and me.

    That looks awfully tough to handle to get the A.S. out.

    Not Really the ball sits on a stand and the spike unscrews.

    Windjammer is pretty much the only one I use anymore. Canoe clone.

    Oh, so you don't have to worry about lifting it off the stand?

    Yes you have to Lift the Globe off the Stand. It just sits loosely on it.

    The handle unscrews, but there is no way to balance it, with the lid off. Very bad design.

    Avon "Spicy"
    "Super Shaver" decanter
    5oz.

    I put it next to a Gillette Fatboy, to show the size.

    Made in 1973 and pure awesomeness because who wouldn't want a bottle of aftershave, shaped like a DE razor? Welcome to the Avon Spicy DE Razor Bottle club!
