    I was at my local "BigLots" last night, found a small stash of European old spice specifically the UK bottles that are the glass bottled ones. They aren't produced and sold here in the US that I know of. I was puzzled thinking "what are they doing here in the states." they had them selling pretty cheap, so I scooped up a few bottles.

    Ahhh, you picked my favorite NEW Spice! Best scent from the "new" guys, (IMO).

    Shulton should have produced this one.

    Yea, I could see them doing that, but it would be more natural smelling, which would be awesome. Only thing I don't like about this one, is that it's a little bit Juvenile, If they added some musk it would be nicer.

    That would be indeed. Ah, the sadness of missing the old fellas:
    Shulton Old Spice
    Any Rise shaving cream/foam
    Colgate Shave Cream
    Rapid Shave

    Gotta get your hands one one of the early 60s bottles. They matured like wine, unlike other aftershaves that age like milk. I wouldn't dare use this bottle till I find a back up on ebay. IMG_20200917_115236.jpg

    I have and enjoy a bottle of Old Spice that was made sometime between 1956-1966.

    I have quite a bit of 60's - 70's juice but this early 50's set is for special occasions.

    I have that same set, I've been looking for others on ebay of the same one, but I have never came across another one except the one I already have. How strong is the juice in that one? your bottles look great

    The bottles are in great shape but I don’t have the original box. I am more than pleased with how good the printing is on the bottles.

    The juice is very strong. As good as it should be.

    I think this is my oldest set but I would have to dig through a few boxes of junk to see if I have an older one.

    I keep these out on a shelf because they look so good.

    upload_2020-9-18_8-14-20.jpeg Just bought this vintage 1940s old spice mug on eBay, it even has it’s original soap. Paid 20 bucks for it. I doubt the soap is even usable though looks like it’s probably hard as a rock and dried all up. But if anything I’ll throw out the old soap and put in one of my OS refills.
