HOW'D YA DO IT?

Wow, you must have had a lot of hair! Weren't those tubes around 8 oz. or so?

I think you need to upgrade to a platinum membership (you get the little yellow jersey logo instead of the red star) in order to imbed videos. I haven't tried it yet; too old-fashioned.

I remember using Brylcreem back when I was in junior high school, before I became a hippie. Gawd that stuff was greasy. I stopped using it when I started getting zits from all that grease getting on my face. I was also letting my hair get kinda long, so I didn't need stuff to keep it glued together.

Remember the ads on TV for Vitalis, featuring quarterback Johnny Unitas (the Tom Brady of his day, except he didn't go around dating supermodels - well, I guess they weren't called superrmodels back then). He always put Vitalis in his hair, eschewing that "greasy kid's stuff," probably referring to Brylcreem...

Man, I still can't get used to the Colts being in Indianapolis. And the Baltimore Ravens? At least the Raiders moved back to Oakland (my old home town) after a couple of years in LA.

I remember getting up in the morning and seeing the Brylcream grease stain on my pillow.

If you want, try a Chamois Butt cream and add your own fragrance. Smear that on your hair.

How about Alberto VO-5 ? didn't that smell better than Brylcreem?

here ya go............

Brylcreem brylcreem brylcreem!
Brylcreem - a little dab'll do ya
Brylcreem - you look so debonair
Brylcreem - the girls will all pursue ya
They love to get their fingers in your hair!

I think somebody's just trying to remember the goo old days!

I only discovered Brylcreem when I became a Fibre Glass Laminator. It is the most incredible release agent from the mould and Polishes Gel coat better tham anything else.

So Dirty CF bike----Polish it with brylcreem. Brings on a fantastic shine



Now about My Polished Pate.

i wish i had some hair...

Q: Why does a bald man not need keys?
A: Because he has no locks!

(or used Brylcreem when he was younger)

:-)

My dad used that stuff. If he were still living he could be Tom Ridge's double. Unfortunately males inherit their Mother's family genes for hair and most of my Mother's brothers did not have to worry about spending $ on hair creme.

You wear Old Spice on the hair on top of your head?

:lol:

All I did was copy and paste the URL to the You Tube video. Have done that a zillion times in this forum. Must be the gold shirt!

My goodness, I must be Really Old if I was alive and watching TV when that commercial was running!

Look for the following title: Great Songs of Madison Avenue.
I can't find a printing online but some larger libraries still list
this book as available for research.

:lol: I remember my Dad using Brylcream and the morning he made quite a fuss because he started to brush his teeth with it instead of toothpaste.:roflmao2:

I have always avoided hair products for the above reason, but a couple years ago my barber got me to use hair gel (American Crew) and it does such a great job keeping my hair in place that I don't even carry a comb, no matter how windy. It's water soluble and is easily and completely rinsed from my hands under running water. The only time I need to comb my hair after applying the gel is after cycling. A simple combing removes the "helmet hair" look, even in hot weather, or after wearing a balalava.

Presumably if you are 50+, you will remember the suggestion, "Try it--you'll like it."

Brylcream as a release agent,I knew it good for something.When I was young,I liked 4 ROSES,not sure if it was a local goop(SoCAL) or not.
