Ok gents, what's your opinion of Old Spice shaving cream, the Indian stuff? I've got a tube on the way to me from a trade and I'm just wondering what to expect.
What's your opinion of Old Spice Cream, because I've got a tube coming.
- Thread starter Foyle
- Start date
I can tell you later this week, as I also have a tube coming.
I received a tube incorrectly from India (ordered Godrej, received Old Spice). I opened the tube. Strong Old Spice scent to it. I haven't tried lathering with the Old Spice yet. Old Spice just isn't my thing.
I have all three tubes and I love them very much and they are good creams. I don't like the scent of the musk as much as I do the original and fresh lime, but I still use it when the mood strikes. In my opinion they need quite a bit of water, but most creams do to produce their lather. It doesn't seem to be as finicky as some other creams and have a pretty wide window of water to product ratio. I often use them when I'm in a rush, I'm mostly a soap kind of guy with the matching after shave splash, also from India.
Good luck I hope you like it!

Good stuff, the second tube of cream I ever purchased after co bigelo, and I would rate it slightly higher unless you like menthol.
Question...
I checked the Old Spice website, and couldn't find it anywhere on there. Where would I buy their cream? I'm assuming it's something I would need to import?

It isn't made by P&G so you won't find it on their site. If you have any Indian markets near you, they may sell it. It is also available from a number of online vendors.
I love the stuff. Its a great performer like most of the Indian shave creams.
I'd love to score some in the wild. I have a number of Indian communities around but I haven't found the right market. The one near me has about 5 creams which I never heard of. Would love to try them all but who has the time. BigWill - there'd probably be plenty of takers if you were to BST or PIF wink wink. My local doesn't even have Mysore products. You have to love a brand which evokes the imagery that Mysore does.
If they have, Godrej, Palmolive, or Dettol Cool, pick some up. They are excellent creams and fairly low priced. I am a huge fan of them.
I ordered a tube of Old Spice Musk 70ml shave cream from eBay for around $5.00 delivered 4-5 day ago, so I am also waiting for it. My current shave gel is running low so I decided to give Old Spice Musk a try.
I'm 99% sure they have Godrej and Dettol (one with several scents?) but can't remember Palmolive. I would have probably went for that since the shavesticks are highly regarded. I may just break down one day.
Oh btw, another gem they have - Axe lather shave cream. Yes, Axe. It's in a smaller tube so would be good for travel. That scent is not my fav and it lingers. I guess it might be good for a new and funky smelling brush but not necessarily an improvement! All that said the Axe cream performs excellently as you might expect from the OS cream.
Just got my OS tube today. AAR in the morning after the shave
I got my tube from West Coast Shaving today and used it this evening...nice! A nice medium scent of Old Spice and I had no problem lathering the cream. I'm really glad I picked this up!
Got a few tubes from eBay...
Used it a few times, it's very good it terms of lather, it's also a very slick lather, holds for a while, doesn't dry out like other creams I have.
As far as the scent, it's actually not as great as I expected, a bit too strong even. It's still very nice and all, but maybe it's because I find it overwhelmingly strong.
I'm in the process of turning a tube into a soap puck as per another thread discussed a few months ago.
It's been a good month now, and it's now similar to silly putty to hardness/softness, and have been able to shape it into a small soap, made a quick support with aluminum foil (so that it dries underneath also instead of sitting there.

Had a shve with mine today. I must say it was not bad. The musk scent was mild and the cream itself was a little dry during the shave but overall it was not bad!
Good stuff.
Got mine from Paul Kox in Holland. http://www.winkelplein.nu/barbershopsuply/
His card machine was broken and all I had was a €2 coin.
He let me have it for €2.
Interesting chap

Any chance you remember which thread this was discussed in? A quick search turned up nothing. Thanks!
I have it a shot the other day, it's a nice cream I've found it works best on a thick beard on a thin beard I found myself using more cream then any other just to get a good lather, it whips up pretty nicely and has a nice smell to it if you like old spice it's pleasant but its tad on harsh side if you don't
