In 1963, a 16 year old friend won a convertible Ford in a Brylcreme contest. Talk about jealous!

This was a British question and I tried to answer it from American viewpoint. Brylcream popular here, too, so thought it was Marines or Army. Well, well.

My dad used to use it (as a lot of men did in the sixties & seventies) He was also in the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) but discharged when I was about 8.

My dad uses it daily! I remember as a little girl watching him apply it to his hair with his comb. He is quite adept in applying it evenly on his hair with just his comb. It was an art form. lol
