My brother in law used to use them back in India ( in 1971). I do not have any special memories of them but my husband says that he was responsible to clean off the soap after his brother shaved and he did not like that. I am not so sure if my brother in law still uses them, but we are in America and my husband does not have to clean the brush and the cup. Yay !
My late brother in law gave his brother my husband one for a Hanukkah gift in 1979..He never used it as I always buy Norelco plug in razors for him...I remember them well, he even gave him a brush like the one in the picture too..No one uses them anymore, we still have the yellow rotary phone we got in Colorado when we first married, we had the chance to buy it for $5.00 from Mountain Bell and we bought our own phone when we came to Washington state, the rotary phone lasted until the phone company made us get our own line we had party lines of 10 other people and after that we have had to purchase phones, they don't last too long..I think older is not necessarily not better I am still married to my childhood sweetheart soon 41 years, he won't trade me in nor I him...our only child is nearly 38 end of this year, she is not married cause she cannot find anyone like her daddy to marry..loving, quiet, kind, hard working and not uppity and loves the family he came from no matter what..she will stay single for a long long time, she has no time for a starter marriage and the resulting drama and hijinks that follows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaving cream, I think.
ReplyDeleteDing ding ding! We've got a winner. Shaving stuff.
DeleteWhat's that favoritism... we all answered it was for shaving and there is only ONE winner... just not fair Martha!
DeleteShe was the first... :)
DeleteYeah, Richard ... I was first :-))))) Take that :-)
DeleteHahahaha... Well, he did ask :) And don't feel bad, Richard, cause you came in second place. That's pretty good!
DeleteHahaha, all in fun. I put his blog in my reader, today.
DeleteLOL Some girls are out of control over this blog, I would NEVER allow this on mine...
DeleteMartha they say that the second one is the first loser, but thanks for "trying" your best to make me feel soooo much better!
Hahaha! Girls out of control. That's us. All in fun.
DeleteWe are terrible and now I know where your blog is so more out of control, headed your way.
DeleteLooking at this, I don't recall if their was one for the lady... were they shaving? Just curious :)
ReplyDeleteI believe they were, but I don't know what they were using.
DeleteIt was used for shaving!
ReplyDeleteYou bet!
Deleteoh I love the old fashion shaving gear!
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories!
DeleteHum....shaving cream and brush? I am older than you, 5 years, soon, in April 6 years older ah youth lo
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Youth... Well, I don't think so, Lorraine. I'm getting up there.
DeleteShaving cream and brush to apply shaving cream to one's face :) I think barbers used them a lot. I never personally saw anyone use them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Last one of February! Where did the month go?
betty
They were pretty popular at one point. I remember my dad using them, but not for very long.
DeleteWell my husband has one of those brushes!
ReplyDeleteDoes he really? That's pretty awesome!
DeleteWe must be about the same age! I remember grandad .....
ReplyDeleteI got a glimpse of these products for a very short period when I was very young. Brings back heartwarming memories.
DeleteOlá a diferença marca a beleza com criatividade, a foto é bela marcando a diferença.
ReplyDeleteAG
I'm going to have to translate what you're commenting!
DeleteYeah, my Dad used lather, a brush and a razor when I was young. Then electric razors were invented and he ditched them right away!
ReplyDeleteMy dad did the same, except for the electric razor. He never got into that. He just went onto the disposable razors.
DeleteI know what they are, but my dad never used them. Maybe my grandpa?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Or maybe not!
Deleteno idea what that is
ReplyDeleteOf course not. You are much too young! :)
DeleteI don't remember my Pop using them, but he was of the age so he should have done.
ReplyDeleteHe probably used other products. My dad used this for a bit and then moved onto other things.
DeleteOh yes. I remember these. I may have even tried them before Dad got his electric razor.
ReplyDeleteThis goes way, way back, so it's a little hard to remember them.
DeleteSame here ! My Dad always used these for shaving then he would use old spice after shave .
ReplyDeleteOld spice...I love that scent!
DeleteThat should be real horse hair for the brush and the foaming shaving cream in the cup .
ReplyDeleteReal horse hair? I had no idea!
DeleteOh yes, I remember!
ReplyDeleteI hope it brings back fond memories.
DeleteI honestly didn't figure out at once. I thought the brush is for kinda of a powder :)
ReplyDeleteYou must be too young!
DeleteYep! Shaving paraphernalia! Reminds me of my grandfather. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope those memories are good ones, Mary!

ReplyDeleteSounds like your husband is a great man. But I bet you're just as wonderful.
DeleteSome older products were built like tanks and lasted forever. That was one of the good things about them.
