Carl,

The bottle is actually the current run of plastic that they're doing. Old Spice has a great track record of knowing it's place in the market and they are starting to capitalize on the classicism people associate with them. I haven't personally seen any of the old ceramic style bottles (my dad was a Brut guy when I was a kid), but I would imagine that the bottle is meant to evoke past iterations of their product.

I am attending a funeral today at Arlington National Cemetery where one of my classmate's mother is being interred. It will be a somber day, but seemed appropriate to start it with some quality shave kit...

Ha, plastic! Be merciful, say “death,”
For plastic hath more terror in his look,
Much more than death. Do not say “plastic”...

Yeah, they had a white top. I wonder if anyone got the Shakespeare reference?

Not me sorry though don't be sad, I did what I thought was a clever deja vous post a while back, and it only got one like and I don't even know whether it was the deja vousness or just the post itself that got the like.
