Aftershaves Still Sold in Glass Bottles

English Leather is glass, and around the AV price range.

 

The various flavors of Ogallala Bay Rum Aftershave, except for the sample bottles, are glass. They also sell a 4 oz (empty) Apothecary Decanter.

 

Bed, Bath & Beyond has little salad dressing decanters. I use those for my "must have in glass" scents.

But to be real, Barbasol Pacific Rush is pretty badass, is a few bucks at the dollar store, and resides in plastic....me likey lots. AV too. I have a big fake Avon DE decanter I normally use, but I think AV is just as "classy" in plastic.

 

Please pardon the ignorance, but it would appear that decanters are not always airtight. Would this lead to evaporation problems with alcohol-based lotions?

 

Stetson... If it's good enough for Tom Brady it's good enough for me... Nice glass bottle and cheap.

 

I'm not sure if you were directing toward me or not, but the decanters I'm talking about have the rubber seal between the cap and the lip of the bottle creating an airtight seal. Think those old cheese jars or Grolsch beer closures.

 

Ahh, gotcha! Thanks! I was looking at some glass/crystal decanters and it seemed like the glass "stopper" just kind of sat on top of the opening. Your suggestions are very cool!

 

4711 still came in a glass bottle the last time I purchased it.

It's nice but I still prefer the economy sized plastic bottle of Superior 70.

 

I got to try some of that,,, but I can't find it in my neck of the woods.

 

That is part of the beauty of it. The small little shop is directly across the street from work and it is now up to $2.25 a bottle. I really like the scent, a nice light clean bay scent. If I knew what the regulations of shipping something with 65% alcohol were, I would offer to send a bottle your way.

 

The only downfall, which really isn't a downfall since I use it on all of my AS's regardless of flow constrictor, is that you need to stopper it with your thumb and meter it out using your thumb from the opening. No shaker top. Not a big deal really. I only have 3 AS's that have shaker tops anyway....I wish they all came with the old school Stetson bullet cap shaker thingy. I saw some in an antique store a few weeks ago brand new, but they wanteds $25 for it.......too rich for my blood. I hate it when an antique store gets all retarded on their prices.

 

Yeah, I hear you. What I'd see myself doing is probably holding my palm tight against the opening, turning the bottle over with my palm against it, and then right-side up again. I'd have a circle of AS on my palm, about the size of the bottle opening, which I could then clap onto both hands and then onto my face.

But fancy bottles made especially for AS and the like for all the shavers out there...you may be on to something!

 

If you're looking for GLASS BOTTLES and these even have sprayer on them for only 1$ each just go to your Dollar Store. The have the JORDACHE and the Jean Philippe 'knock off ' colognes, some of which aren't bad, in Nice Glass Bottles for 1$ each. This way even if you don't like the 'eau' they're glass and you don't pay postage!

 

Spice at family Dollar ? Made by ViJon ? That knock off smells nothing like the new old Spice formula... But it is very close to the original version... I have some antique OS in my den , the ViJon smells the same... I do not like the new OS scent, but the vintage Shulton is the bomb IMHO...

 

It's about $1.70 and it does smell nice, but I'm not a huge fan of Old Spice. I prefer a different kind of scent. But, definitely worth it.
