AS worth getting from the US

[mrasparini]

Hi All,
I have a friend coming over from the US.
Ideally, I'd like to get an after shave or cologne which is hard to find on our side of the ocean, or would be expensive for import duties.
In particular, I am looking for a traditional American aftershave, reminiscent of the 50's or 60's... I have the Floid in mind.
Not a remake (Rex 1955 for instance). I'd like a product that has been truly around for a long time but it's not easy to get hold here.
Thanks for reading my contorted mind...

How about Mennen Skin Braver? Or Williams Aqua Velva? Both classic low cost every day lotions that are not common in the UK and when you do find them they're often expensive over here.

US Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva are available to ship to UK , although very expensive.

The only products I cannot get are Bay rum and Lime splashes from various producers.

St johns will ship to the UK, my parcel was simply marked up as shaving samples, so I imagine they are used to shipping here.

skin bracer is available on EU amazon sites (I live in Belgium)... is the one in the US different?

They are completely different from different owners.

St John's and Royall are easy to get. It's the other brands:

Ogallala
Captain's Choice
Barberry
Dominica

Why bother with the American junk Aftershave? Pinaud Clubman is far Superior IMO.
