Nice shave tonite, all old spice, and all nice. Super rich lather tonite, the scent on my old vintage Old Spice soap is very gentle. This is only the second shave with my old (1917-1918) Wester-Stone Damascas brand razor.

Ahhhhh. relaxing and nice. Love the blade Mike.

Jamie,
The photo (and shave) says plenty. It's worth 1000 words so to speak. That Raw Vanilla sounds very intriguing. It seems to have become the staple in your daily shaves.

Too bad they discontinued a good thing
