LegalEagle-ish Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I wanted to go back to the shampoo of my childhood, the squeakily clean destroyer of dandruf, Vosene. But i have searched high and low to no avail. So can anyone tell me, where has all the Vosene gone, long time passing, where has all the Vosene gone, long time ago?

cupid_stunt Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hey L-ish, apologies on this digression but did you ever get that job that you went for a few months back. Sorry, I've been a bit out of the EDF loop as i've been cracking the whip on the workers recently....As for Vosene check out any one of those tardis-like 24/7 365 shops on Rye Lane, they'll probably have an original bottle from way back when. Alternatively try here. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7330-where-has-all-the-vosene-gone/#findComment-232585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnia Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 All I can say is it still exists as there is some in our bathroom. I would have bought it I think but it may be a conditioner as opposed to a shampoo. However it not 20 years old so it must be available somewhere locally as that's where I would have got it.

woofmarkthedog Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Vosene, your hair "squeaked" clean by the stuff but get it in your eye....Ohhh pain! plus you end up looking like a rabbit with mixamatosis.

LegalEagle-ish Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yes I got the job, i've been there just over 3 months. It's much better than where i was before.Vosene is still sold because they have a website and everything. I remember how bad it stung when it got in your eyes, but i'd forgotten until you mentioned it Woof. I think i may have suppresed the pain of it all! My hair was always healthy and shiny tho, so might be worth the risk!

Huguenot Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Not sure I'm a great fan. Squeaky hair now means air-con fright night later.You need a touch of natural oils etc. etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7330-where-has-all-the-vosene-gone/#findComment-233219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daizie Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Vosene, reminds me of my mum giving us a good scrub . Not very sexy though, or is it ?

Sue Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 OMG this thread brings back horrible memories, not only did we have Vosene and Loxene as a child, we had Wrights Coal Tar Soap. We must all have smelled disgusting :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7330-where-has-all-the-vosene-gone/#findComment-233939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
