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.

Yep. And they can readily be found for sale on eBay.

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).

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A phenomenal shave this morning! Been hankering for a Tabac shave of late. Can't remember the last time I used it so I remedied that today. Wow! Had forgotten what a wonderful shave it gives! Classic scent and excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & the matching after shave lotion & EdC.

Gonna have to put Tabac back in rotation. Glad I was able to get a couple of refill pucks of the tallow soap before they all disappeared.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Friday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
Scheermonnik Soek SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Proraso Red AS Splash

These Scheermonnik soaps are from the Netherlands and I think they’re fantastic - the Soek one that I used today has such a beautiful spicy, exotic scent, I believe it’s vegan based but it lathers wonderfully, it’s slick enough, and it’s great in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Proraso Red aftershave’s lovely scent pairs so well with the Soek. Another terrific three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a nice weekend - be well and stay safe!

A great shave with soap from the vault, Akhi! I love that you have so many soaps from around the world.
