    Yea I'l soak it first as a whole puck, If that doesn't work I'll grate it up and then soak. Thanks for the help Gary!

    I wasn't exactly serious. I've never had a vintage Old Spice puck that didn't work. Usually they don't have much scent but you can always put a few drops of aftershave on top of the puck before making your lather.

    You can even add a few drops of the Shulton made Old Spice to it, and cover the container up, then let it soak in. This refreshes the scent.

    Question for you Avon guys and gals...I just purchased an 8oz, green, glass bottle of Avon Captain's Choice After Shower Cologne. Nowhere on the label is the word "spicy" used. I've seen plenty of the same bottles with the words Spicy After Shave Captains Choice on them. Is Capatin's Choice the name of the actual scent? And is it a spice type of scent? Im having a tough time finding info on the scent of what I got, not really the bottle.
    Edit: I was just looking on the bay and found the same bottle style full of AvonCaptains Choice Original After Shave Lotion. No mention of the word Spicy. Is this still all just a basically spice scent?

    I haven't received it yet. Its funny, but I cant find anything when I google the scent. Theres no word spicy on the label at all. Its an "After Bath Cologne", whatever that is lol. And theres no word spicy on the a/s I found but havent purchased. I have seen the ones with the word spicy. Im guessing its all the same stuff...spice scent, just with label changes but I wouldnt know why they would do that.

    Avon made most of their men's scents in both aftershave and cologne; I have a few in both.

    Yeppers. I do too, in the more well known scents of theirs. Guess Id just never heard it referred to as "after bath" lol. Thats how its printed on the label. I hope its the same concentration as their other vintage colognes. I love those. What Im trying to figure out is why two labels exist. One says "spicy" on it...like yours, and the one im waiting on just says Captains Choice After Bath Cologne...without the word "Spicy". Then the a/s I saw on the bay just says" Captains Choice After Shave", again without the word "Spicy" on the label. So I'm hoping "Captains Choice" is all a spice type scent, just with different label wording.

    And they also had Spicy and Brisk Spice, that really smelled the same to me.

    Avon made same shaped bottle, that they put several different scents inside. My favorite is "Spicy", as well as "Island Lime".
