A 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG, almost no clean up. Smooth, close, clean all the way. Not even a hint of a weeper. Resulting in a solid BBS+, I even got those neck spots that are so hard to clean off. A really happy camper. God Bless and hoping for the same for all. Bill

It's is that. Thank you, Doug. It's unusual in it's construction - white glass for the majority but the top section is clear. I was pleased to see the gold color through upper lens of the lighthouse is the aftershave. I didn't get the original box, but the plastic bits are undamaged and the Shulton scent is there. Route 66 Retro Spice has all the great performance of the soaps I've enjoyed from their line. The soap scent is lighter than the vintage AS but it's a hit. Here's a list of the scents for both, underlined for same or similar scents. Retro Spice; orange, sage and lemon over a lightly spiced floral heart and a base of vanilla, cedarwood, frankincense, tonka and musk. Old Spice; Orange, Lemon, Spices, Clary Sage, Aldehydes, Cinnamon, Carnation, Geranium, Jasmine, Heliotrope, Pimento Berry, Vanilla, Musk, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Benzoin, Tonka, Ambergris.
