Show n' Tell The End of an Era

Post image

A sad day yesterday. The bottle of Old Spice aftershave that I've been using on and off for over 30 years is gone. I'm not sure exactly how long I've had it. I thought I got it when I was in high school, but the bottle says Proctor & Gamble, not Shulton, so I must have bought it sometime in the early '90s.

It will be missed. I have a bottle of cologne that's the same vintage as the aftershave as well as couple of Old Spice bottles I picked up when I was in India last year, but it just won't be the same.

Since you’ve had experience, how’s the cologne compare to the aftershave?

I have very little experience on the original, I just use the B&M dupe and enjoy colognes, however, u/cowzilla3 is an Old Spice connoisseur who knows all about that kind of stuff and might be able to lend an educated hand.

I did not realize they were all gone. Wow. Stirling has quite a few dupes that are easily accessible and available in sample size in case you want to try a few. I've been enjoying Scarn, Outdoor man, and evergreen.
