![]() Don't believe me, take a look at dcobranchi's awesome analytical chemical takedown of the contenders and pretenders to the original Old Spice. Nah, that Proctor and Gamble stuff just isn't the same. That original Old Spice scent, once so common that you could get inexpensive cakes of fantastic shaving soap loaded with the scent in addition to the aftershaves and colognes, is now produced in relative obscurity (to most North Americans and Europeans, anyway) by the Shulton company in India, hewing tightly to the original formula. ![]() Wet shaving is the source of so many of these scents, Clubman.Aqua Velva.Bay Rum.Old Spice, that the mind can wander while shaving here in 2014 and take us back decades to the time we sat on booster seats in the barber chair or stood next to Dad in the bathroom while he shaved. Our senses of smell being what they are, familiar scents can carry us back to places long forgotten. The load looked like this:ĭay 2: Omega B&B Essential Boar and Shulton Old Spice Cream is to swirl a damp brush on a soap for a full minute to put the soap out of its misery as quickly as possible ensure full loading, but in a concession to the legend of MdC, I swirled my damp Essential Boar on top of the jar of MdC (which had been wetted with a little water during my shower) for only 30 seconds. I know that many claim to be able to do 6 swirls on top of the soap and get enough lather from MdC for 10 passes, but I wasn't taking any chances. I have only face lathered MdC until now, so this was as much an assessment of how the soap does as well as how the brush can handle it. Today, I put the Essential Boar and MdC through their paces in test of bowl lathering. After finishing my last 3017 soap, I pulled my jar of Scented out of the closet and used it a few times last week. ![]() brucered was kind enough to give me a sample of the Fougerè when it came out last year, and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the sample for several shaves. Heck, even a soap as mythical/legendary/overhyped/overrated as MdC is subject to the laws of YMMV! (YMMV) I have jars of the MdC Scented (which I like) and Fougerè (which I really like), but given the stockpile of soaps and creams at the top of my closet, I have not had much opportunity to put them through their paces. Some people love the scent, others can't stand it. Martin de Candre is one of those soaps that is as apt to provoke threads gushing about how great it is, while 3 threads down the list is one complaining about the cost.
