Vintage Aftershave Balm from Portugal

Leon · Post by **Leon** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:16 pm

I'm presenting you an Aftershave Balm from a very ancient and prestigious Portuguese brand - 444. This brand makes this Aftershave balm for ages (I can't tell you how old is it, but I'll try to find out) and also a styptic stick. Any old timer here knows this brand.
I use this as my A/S balm after every shave. It gives me that "vintage feeling" we get when we shave with a straight razor .
The scent is menthol. After I shave, I put some A/S - typically Floid, La Toja, Musgo Real or Proraso - and let it sting for a few seconds, then I usually grab this tube and mix it with a few drops of A/S and put it on my face. That gives me a cooling sensation that lasts a long time.
It's composition is: glycerin, menthol, distilled water, carboxivinil resin and disoproprilamin. These last 2 ingredients are not very well translated I guess - I'm not a chemical expert, sorry.

Hello, Leon. I think perhaps this should be posted in the Shopping forum. Also, I clicked on the link in your signature, and it took me to one of those "domain available" pages. You may want to look into this.

Hello.

I just realized I posted on the wrong forum, I was wondering who's the moderator of the shaving cream and soaps to ask him to move this thread.
Thanks about the wrong address. I fixed it.

Best regards
