Great shave, Akhi! I'm glad it lives up to your expectations. Anything that smells in that realm my wife refers to as "Old Man Smell". I can't wear any of it... you know the saying... "If Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy."

Shabbat Shalom!
Thanks Akhi!

My wife doesn’t really dislike the scent of this stuff - she teases me a lot. To be honest this Spice from Stirling as well as the B&M Spice are so close to the Shulton Old Spice that I can hardly tell which is which. One thing I can say is that the Cold Spices soap and aftershave are both total failures in the scent on account of the menthol in them. When I first get the Cold Spices lather on my face it starts off smelling nice but then the menthol starts ruining the scent. The same thing with the aftershave - for about a minute it smells like the Shulton Old Spice which is gorgeous but then the farkakteh menthol interferes with the scent in a bad way. I can’t wait to get rid of those two makharaikes! (lousy things!)

Shabbat Shalom!

Jeff
