Old school shave this morning.
Avon Stirling Six aftershave is fantastic! Love the decanter shaved as an old car.
Grandpas Gillette Tech,Williams Mug Soap and an ever ready brush.
It was a simple easy 3 pass shave to welcome the weekend!
Welcome and thanks for your post. I have the AVON STERLING SIX LEATHER in the dark glass decanter. It's practically full and I got it for, I think it was $6. or close to it, about ten years ago in a little 2nd hand shop.

Stirling Six is the name of the Decanter. That's the name of the car. Tai Winds is the name of the aftershave. Each of Avon's 300+ special shaped decanters has it's own name. And each decanter might have 3-4 different scents in it.

It was a very good 3 pass midday shave; a nice unwind after a full morning.
Everyone be safe and have a wonderful day 😀

Yep. And they can readily be found for sale on eBay.
 
In my defense,we ran out of coffee.....😆
Good information to know.
No problem. We've got an Avon Collector's thread around here if you have more, or you want to know more about them. I have hundreds of bottles myself and own the Avon Collector's Guide so I can look up the bottles if you want to know anything about them (like their age).
