Brylcreem, Code 10 and Vitalis

My father-in-law uses Brylcreem every morning after his bath. The same Brylcreem i used when i was in Primary 1, getting ready for school everyday. It still comes in the small blue cylindrical plastic can, with the lion logo. It still has that blue consistent texture that leaves a sickly sweet smell on your hands long after you washed it.

I couldn’t find a pic of the classic Brylcreem online, but the pic of the current packaging is very different. Once in awhile we used the slightly cheaper Code 10, which I think doesn’t have such a strong odour.

When we were older we moved on to Vitalis, which isn’t a styling gel, its a liquid that smell like cologne. The holding strength isn’t as strong, for that you had to use gel. My brother used this colourless brand that came in a blue transparent tub, can’t remember the name.
