That's quite a smile. How do you like it? How is it to hone?

 

It's a great shaver. It's my first smiling blade and I'm a fan already. I've yet to have to hone it. I'm sure there will be a learning curve.

 

I compared the present-day Old Spice to the Shulton one which I still have. The Shulton is more than half-finished and it's cologne, not aftershave. The Old Spice "Classic" smells almost rancid as opposed to the clean, fresh scent of the Shulton. I just showered now and put on some of the OS Classic stick deodorant and although it's not irritating or anything like that I find the scent a little annoying. It's just marginally better than the other OS scents like Denali, Arctic Force, etc. Really not up my alley. I just the Shulton Old Spice once in a while because I want it to last.

I might use this more than once a week. I tried the salve as a preshave, and it did the job a while adding to the scent from the soap and aftershave. Superb shave in every way.

I'm not hoarding my Shulton Old Spice, but I used the P&G as a scent booster to the vintage Williams stick. Finished the shave with P&G, but now I want to apply some Shulton.

 

My new brush works! Not a single cut or weeper! That's the good part of the shave.

Being determined to complete the shave with my freshly honed Gold Dollar, I was disappointed. Neck and cheeks went well. Very well in fact. Moustache, forget it. I could not push the Gold Dollar through the hairs. Chin, same thing. Sawing action may have worked but that seemed rather stupid. My safety razor finished it off.

Have a great week everyone.

Have you tried the Old Spice Original from India? Supposedly it is a very close match to the Shulton Old Spice. And they still use the old style glass bottles.

A quick but very effective shave today. Two passes with minimal touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

 

No, I haven't. I have a tube of the Shulton Old Spice cream and that one is bang-on exactly to the cologne in scent.

 

Hey Friends,

i´ve had a damn fine shave this morning. Here it is:


Preshave: Somersets Maximum Glide Shaving Oil / Razor: Mühle R41 / / Blade: Astra SP / Soap: Meißner Himalayan Heights / Brush: Semogue Barbear Classico Texugo / AS: Meißner Himalayan Heights ASB

Great shave. The R41 is V 3.0. A very toroughly razor which is still gentle. The Astra performed well. The rest is top notch. I deeply love the scent of the Himalayan Heights.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

Greetings
Thorsten​

I think the Rubicon version smells closer to Shulton. It doesn't have that sharp artificial floral opening that hits so hard on the P&G version. Rubicon is more laid back on the scent. The aftershaves are definitely formulated different from what I can 'feel'. The Rubicon version has more burning, less post-shave skin hydration, while the P&G aftershave has only a slight sting, no burn of any significance and is more moisturizing IMO.
