Aaaand it's close to that time again-Throwback Thursday. This week, I feature the return of an old friend ;

shave-Rise Superfoam*
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Mennen Skin-Bracer**

*-1949. It isn't the ORIGINAL Rise, but they say the scent of it nearly matches that of the Original, which they didn't say about the set of Rise Superfoams I ordered earlier(different coloring of the letters on the can).
