Thread: Old Spice Aftershave | Axe Aftershave

Wanna smell like a man ? Try Irisch Moos. This one is also a pain reliever AND a good moisturizer (not sure of the spelling sorry).

Again, anything axe (IMO), especially chocolate axe, should be something left in high school locker rooms...or the shelf at the store lol

I honestly can't stand most modern products. I bought a bottle of Nivea aftershave and immediately brought it back and returned it. I find everything now-a-days is so perfumey and they all kind of smell the same too...like cheap after shave. Even old spice apparently doesn't smell like it used to.
I've heard that Lucky Tiger is good, but I haven't had the chance to try it myself. Irisch Moos seems to be an old name as well. Maybe try some DR Harris or Proraso products.
Basically, I'd try to find something from before they stopped caring about men and our personal grooming and started pushing consumerism down our throats lol
I hate how everything's almost like propaganda now...like all of the current old spice commercials that try to brainwash you into believing that their products are the manliest lol

Maybe it's just me, but I find the classic stuff to be the best stuff haha

If you want that classic type scent of Old Spice with the modern obnoxious (just my opinion) appeal of Axe, you could always go with Hi Karate?

I understand the hate for Axe's marketing to highschoolers, but they have a special place in my heart because of their "just clean" shampoo. I hate shopping for shampoo because everything is for curly, damaged, color-treated hair or smells like strawberrys/mangos/name-your-fruit-of-choice. So when I saw a shampoo labeled "just clean," I was all over it. Can't speak for their aftershaves though. I like Speick and Clubman Pinaud myself.

I have old spice after shave and cologne which I do like, and have actually been using since high school ha ha. Just make sure if you want the classic smell you get the white bottle, not any of the sprays ect. With that being said the Fiji Oldspice line is actually very nice. I have about 15 different aftershaves and 11 cologne i use so both Fiji and classic are in the cycle

Yes, when Proctor & Gamble bought Old Spice (several years ago) they reformulated it and put it in a plastic bottle, and almost everyone thinks it's inferior to the classic version. I say almost because there are some that don't believe the reformula "theory" - there are several arguments on this topic here and on other shaving forums.

Some say if you decant the current formula into a glass bottle it will smell more like the original, but I've never tried it.

lol my bottle is glass still! god maybe i don't use it as much in my rotation as I thought ha ha

I have both, (Axe, is marketed as Lynx in the UK, where I purchased it). I have the dark temptation, which is one of two fragrances they make, that I like.

The old Spice is purchased in Doha, where it is widely available, only in glass and is dirt cheap.

Old Spice wins.

I still have a glass bottle too, probably still about a 1/3 full . Had it for years.

Doing know if this helps, but I've witnessed first hand jaguars going crazy for Axe Dark Temptation body spray. They also really like Calvin Klein Obsession so take that for what it's worth.
