OK guys and gals, how many of you can remember items we men and boys used in the 30's to 60's on our hair like Brylcream, Butch Wax, and Wild Root Cream Oil Hair Tonic, and many others.
This should bring back good memories for the "old farts.'

Rose's Butch Wax, in the jar; later there was some kind of a stick version that you could put on your flattop without getting it all over your hands.

Those days were convenient; head to toe with Lifebouy in the shower.

Yes, I remember using Butch Wax and Brylcream in the 50's to 60's on my hair.
I also remember Dad paying $.12 a gallon for gas during the gas wars of the 50's to 60's.
