Well I finished off the Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70 that I transferred to my barber bottle. Gus GlazedBoker got me hooked on this a few years ago.

Time to fill with my last bottle of this juice that has been discontinued for a year. I will miss it when this is gone and will have to hunt another favorite Witch Hazel type product......

Finished my last stick of Klar Kabinett. I really don't like this soap. It performs okay as long as you don't compare it to something really good. Anyway, I cheated at the end, and tried to use the last bit as a bath soap. It sucked at that too, so it wound up in the trash. There was only a small amount left at this point.

Switched to some P160. Much better!

I think this tub of Proraso White was three or four years old. I mostly did not care for the scent. There was not quite enough left so I made it into a superlather with an inch of Gillette Pure cream.

Later I peeled off the label, cut off the bottom third (where it says "soap"), and stuck it on a spray bottle of Proraso Green aftershave.

Very nice reuse of a label. Looks good!

The white background is wrong for it, but I figured the bright green liquid in the bottle would sort out any ambiguities.  Big Grin

I absolutely agree. The liquid kinda tells it own story. Meanwhile, the white background matches the spray nozzle.

Looks professional.

Original formula (ca. 2017) First Canadian Shave Soap Co. "Loretto Lime & Rosemary" soap.

I would've finished it sooner, but I didn't really care for the scent as much as I thought I would. The base was great though.

Lime and Rosemary are probably better as flavouring for broiled salmon.

[edit]
Here's what the label originally looked like:

I finished a bottle of Guerlain Vétiver this morning. It was the modern version. I will be starting a backup bottle of the vintage one and will be interested to see if there are differences.
