Old Spice Roll-Call

I used Old Spice almost exclusively for the 25 or so years I've been shaving. Now that I have a closet full of aftershaves, OS still makes it into the rotation. It never disappoints.

 

The AD took overhand.. Ordered! :signs015

Hope you enjoy it....I will be looking forward to your comments

 

I've been using Old Spice since I came to wet shaving a litle while ago. I thought it smelled differently from the stuff I used to know - now I have read this thread I know why. I used to love the old formula, even though I didn't shave! Time to search out some of the original, I think.

 

I tried out the Pure Sport version this morning. Not bad. Light and refreshing.

 

I have used it a couple of times and I find it great, the only [slight] drawback I see is the weight of the handle. I think it's too light. Otherwise I must say it's super value for money!

 

Old Spice isn't famous for nothing, folks!

 

I tried a bottle of Proctor and Gamble's Old Spice After Shave for the first time this morning nad I can see what al of you like about the product. It has a great smell to it, don't know if this will wind up being my mainstay after shave but its an interesting contender.

 

I'm no authority on Old Spice, but this "old" Old Spice and "new" Old Spice... is that at all related to Procter and Gamble (Gillette)?

 

I am certainly no authority either on the subject but it is my understanding that Proctor and Gamble bought the Gillette Corp a few years ago, about the time that the Fusion entered the market. Proctor and Gamble also owned another company which made shave related items, Old Spice. I have no idea when Proctor and Gamble purchased the Old spice company. I guess this is just an odd aspect of my own behavior, I lke to site the company that makes the product before I mention the product itself, hence you get the Proctor and Gamble Old Spice after shave. The older old spice was made by an independent company. So Old Spice and Gillette are sort of like sisters in the same family.

 

Proctor & Gamble announced intention to buy Gillette in Jan 2005.

 

If only the scents I use would last that long.
My Dad used nothing but Old Spice..
I remember the smell, fondly..

What cologne do you where with old spice?

 

Here's a history of Shulton, Interesting that they developed ladies "Old Spice" first.
History of Shulton
When Old Spice was introduced, William Lightfoot Schultz was interested in maintaining a colonial framework for those products and chose a nautical theme for Old Spice. Thus, sailing ships, in particular colonial sailing ships, were used as a trademark. Through continuous use and advertising, the various ships have become a valuable trademark identifying the Old Spice product for men.

The original ships used on the packaging were the Grand Turk and the Friendship. Other ships used on Old Spice packaging include the Wesley, Salem, Birmingham and Hamilton.

Procter & Gamble purchased Old Spice from the Shulton Company in June 1990. The clipper ship was replaced by the Sailboat/Yacht logo in the fragrance bottles in February 1992.

What cologne if any do you where with old spice?

 

What a coincidence:



Well, the Kent features bristle, but look at the handle

 

Jb, I believe that you asked the same question a couple of posts above.

I believe that the answer would be Old Spice Cologne.

 

Interesting, there is obviously some brush handle producer out there that serves many brushmakers. I'd like contact them and get them to make that handle heavier; If so this would be perfect! I really like my Mühle.

 

Yeah, it seems as if at least the handle-manufacturer were the same
