I'd heard that SB may have changed recently, and perhaps it has - I'll be alert for it. The last bottle I bought seemed fine, though (and I had transferred it to glass).
Old Spice Again!
- Thread starter Odysseus
- Start date
I’m thinking of getting some Old Spice. Never tried the aftershave before, but I used to love the original deodorant. Is it worth shelling out the extra dough for a Shulton bottle? The current version is $15 on Amazon, but the Shulton bottles I see on eBay are almost twice that.
I vote yes, though I’ve gotten many bottles at antique shops, flea markets, vintage shops and goodwill. Most were under $10, with some for only a dollar or two.
Having experienced the Shulton goodness, I can say I think it’s worth it and you can get some deals on the auction site. I’ve seen some steals!
I agree it's worth it. The deo is much nicer than the currently available "Classic" stuff, and closer to the Shulton/Cyamid to me, so the current stuff might disappoint you somewhat. $15 is too much though - at stores I find it's usually in the $8 range these days (up from about $6).
I think getting flamed is an over dramatization? We are men? We can handle giving and receiving differing’s of opinion?
Bro hug?
Why yes, yes it is…
Shulton Old Spice is the absolute pinnacle of Men’s aftershave.
It’s heaven in a bottle.
If Jesus wasn’t rocking a beard? He’d probably splash on Shulton OS.
I secured a lifetime of Shulton Original Old Spice and the second best thing to it which is Shulton Old Spice Lime years ago.
It should only be used when one wants to reach out; and touch the face of God.
I recently bought two bottles of vintage Old Spice, one full and the other 3/4 full on the 'bay for 17 bucks (lot price, one listing). It is out there at reasonable prices if you are watchful and patient.
Many people don't know this, but when the woman anointed Jesus' feet with priceless perfume, it was actually Shulton Old Spice.
Actually, yes. Back when I was rocking a handlebar I used to make my own mustache wax and I used real frankincense and myrrh resins to flavor it.Have you ever smelled Frankincense & Myrrh?
Very similar to SOS I think!
It's heavenly but Old Spice is better.
Does Old Spice have castor oil in its ingredients?
I just googled it and it still does.
Update: I found a better deal on a bottle of SOS and pulled the trigger. It arrived yesterday and, testing it on my hand, I like what I smell. I’m stuck at home with COVID so I’ll be applying this liberally after my next shave.
The current OS is perfectly decent, but suffers from comparisons to the old.
I recently found a mix on an old thread (‘Badger Blends’, IIRC) posted by a member who doesn’t seem to have visited for a good few years. He called it NQS ‘Not Quite Shulton’ and was two parts current OS mixed with one part Stephan Spicy. I gave it a go this last weekend and the result isn’t half bad and is indeed, ‘not quite’ Shulton!

And using it for the first time today I see that applying it liberally is the default. That stuff really pours out of the bottle!
+1! The classic is good, but I also prefer the ‘Original.’
Unless it’s Axe then it’s 100x the tenth power for olfactory overload.
