What's new

Vintage OS gift- WOW!

As I posted on a separate thread recently, I have been very lucky to meet some top notch folks on this forum. I have tried to be generous with my fellow members, and in turn, I have reaped the benefits of the generous spirit cultivated by the members here at B&B. I wanted to share my most recent example. I was contacted by a forum member I recently befriended about a puck of vintage OS soap he had which his skin unfortunately did not like. I was thrilled because I have never had the opportunity to try vintage OS soap. I offered a trade of a sample of any and everything from my shave den for the OS soap as I had a number of items he had never tried. We had worked out a trade, though I knew it was falling in my favor.

I didn't realize how much it was falling in my favor until the soap arrived yesterday- IN THE ORIGINAL MUG AND BOX. The mug is in mint condition and is one of the OS mugs I don't own. NeverOne99, Jeremy, THANKS A MILLION. You, and people like you, make B&B a truly special place.

It lathers like crazy and gave an excellent shave this am. Thanks again, Jeremy!

Nice! It looks new enough to still have some scent.

B&B is certainly a special place!
 
Wow. Congratulations.

I found a place that was doing an Old Spice soap knock-off on eBay. My first impressions were that it lathered pretty nicely, but I think it turned out to be "superlather" with residual Poraso in the brush. I ultrasonically cleaned the brush, and now - it doesn't lather at all like it did.

Never seen lather quite like that. Looks more like whipped cream. Excellent!

So, why did they kill such a good product? It seems like it would sell well today.
 
I know where an Old Spice mug like that is, with a partial puck and plastic cover. No box though. Thought about buying it, but I've gotten carried away in the last few months on flea market buys.
