Thread: anyone use Old Spice Cologne

Two AS that I constantly use: the Old Spice classic and Tabac.

I have Old Spice Classic in my bathroom and use it relatively frequently.

The Old Spice Musk shaving cream.....in a cupboard and will probably be PIF'd sometime.

For some reason I have a fear OS may be off-putting to some.
This is probably groundless but I have heard negative comments about OS scent and the one wearing the scent: As in "the old fart smells like gramps:.

Like most, it was my first AS back around 1962.

This is probably a valid concern. I enjoy OS but several of the ladies at work have quickly identified it and were quite put off by the smell. As a result I don't wear it much on work days and only occassionally on the weekends. But I'd certainly have no problem wearing it all the time (were it entirely up to me) it's a clean nice smell and I like the way it feels on my skin.

For work days I normally go with a good Bay Rum, Aqua Velva, Clubman or English Leather (my Dad's go to). Brut and Lilac Vegetal are good too. Although the latter is clearly a love it or hate it AS. The old man smell is a non-issue for me as I am indeed a codger

I use Old Spice aftershave quite frequently, lasts all day.

Interestingly, my Old Spice haters at work seem to object, not exactly to the smell but to the person who had wronged them that the smell reminds them of (i.e. abusive ex, drunk stepfather, etc.) I guess lots of guys wear Old Spice so it stands to reason that not all of them are gentlemen.

Does anyone use the shave soap, and if so, what's it like?

Cheers,

I have a few mugs of the old Shulton soap and it's a great one--very easy lathering and slick. It's a real pity that it's out of production!

Noticed this on the back of my Old Spice deodorant this morning:

Nice to see all the old spice love. I used it for a few months but swapped it out for Clubman. I just couldn't get down with the scent. Glad you guys enjoy it.

Not sure I exactly prefer it, except it reminds me of my dad, and my wife likes it a lot.
