Cruising (1980)
I really like the arrangement in Nancy’s bathroom: it’s a small space, so the toiletries are displayed on a metal shelving unit facing a window.
The first product I’ve noticed is on the second top shelf (just above Steve’s shoulder): it’s a bottle of the ever-present Old Spice after shave. On the same shelf there’s another interesting product, but more about it later.
On the bottom shelf there are Rise shaving foam and a jar of Pond’s peach cold cream.
One of the last scenes of the film is set in the bathroom again, and we can get a better look at the product previously mentioned. It’s a black bottle of Après Soleil by Bain de Soleil, an after-tan lotion which can be seen in a 1977 advert featuring Rene Russo.
Scent of a Woman (1992)
There are several Pinaud Clubman products in the barber shop where Frank Slade (Al Pacino) gets a wet shave. The tall red bottle is Eau de Quinine hair tonic; the glass bottle with the green label is the after-shave lotion, and the green plastic bottle is the talcum powder.
Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)
Graham Dalton (James Spader) uses Barbasol shaving cream.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
There are several hair products on Rick Dalton’s dressing table.
There’s a can of Rayette AquaNet hairspray.
There are two bottles of hair tonic – Wildroot VAM and Vitalis V7.
There’s also a Barbicide disinfectant jar.
Last, there’s a jar of Ayer hand cream.
Everybody Wants Some!! (2016)
McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin) and his house mates are getting ready for a night out. In the screencap above he’s using the woody fragrance Aramis For Men, created by Bernard Chant and launched in 1966. Other boys will end up using the same perfume.
Other products can be seen in the bathroom: for example, there’s a can of Barbasol shaving cream on the sink.
On a counter there’s a can of Gillette Right Guard deodorant.
Promises… Promises! (1963)
There’s a can of Gillette Foamy shaving cream on the tub where Sandy Brooks (Jayne Mansfield) is taking a bath.
Metropolitan (1990)
There are three classic American drugstore products in Tom Townsend’s bathroom: an Old Spice stick deodorant and the original cologne, and a can of Barbasol shaving cream.
The Wicker Man (2006)
Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) puts on some Aqua Velva after-shave lotion.
Thanks to AW for the id.
Ammore e Malavita (2017)
One of the criminals in the movie has got a very busy bathroom cabinet, filled with perfumes and colognes!
In the screencap above, he’s holding a bottle of Floid after shave with black pump atomiser. This brand was founded in the 1930s in Barcelona, and it’s still highly appreciated by fans of traditional shaving and skincare.
The only product I was able to identify in the packed cabinet is Pino Silvestre after shave, another classic men’s product, this time quintessentially Italian. Created by Lino Vidal and launched in 1955, it’s a fougère fragrance with fresh top notes. I remember I loved Pino Silvestre bath gel when I was a child: it was a staple in our shower.
