Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?

Still use my two organizers, Filofax Lyndhurst A4 and Mini.

(Almost) Unhackable, am my own firewall.

Vitalis, Noxzema shaving cream, Lifebuoy and Ivory soap. You can't get Lifebuoy soap anymore and I haven't seen Vitalis or Noxzema for a while but you can still get Ivory soap.

Yes, its true one can not find Vitalis or Lifebuoy in the shops. In America one can sometimes find Vitalis in the Dollar stores.

However, online one can still find these two items online:

Vermont Country Store
Lifebuoy Antibacterial Soap, 3 Bars (vermontcountrystore.com)

Amazon
Vitalis Hair Tonic

I like Euthymol toothpaste from the golden age, can still buy it now same packaging

JUST for fun!
I bought a bottle of popular german Seborin hair tonic (1934), classic brown version. I wanted to know, how good and strong the smell really is. And I can tell you, the smell is much weaker than I thought! You can't irritate other people with it.
Really decent barber shop citrus and alcohol. The isopropanol let the hair dry up relatively fast.

But don't expect too much refreshing effect!

I hope people find this an interesting thread.

Do you chose products or items from "the Golden Age" over other items that are for sale on store shelves? It is interesting to see some things are still being made even though the company may have changed hands a few times since the 30's/40's.

What I mean is - Do you chose:
Colgate (over Crest)
Hershey
Planter's Peanuts
Bayer Asprin
Beemer's Gum


What else do you buy that people in vintage times bought when they went to the store?

Have Fun!
