One of the big changes in #9 was the elimination of nitrobenzene in the formula. Apparently, it was a health risk. No doubt responsible for my grandfather's early departure at 94. Dad, at only 90, is still holding on and looks forward to an extended lifespan since his gun room has been nitrobenzene free for the last twenty years. I still have about a quart of the old stuff and use it though I know it is a gamble. I have stopped using it as an aftershave; mostly just to conserve my stock. GD
