@theholyblack Replying to @ilovecherrypies Old Spice today is not the same scent our grandfathers wore. The real version from the 1930s was warm spicy and straight out of a classic barbershop. That old formula disappeared when the company changed hands so me and my brother tried to bring it back to life. If you want that nostalgic barbershop smell again the one that takes you right back in time the aftershave that started our whole company is in the link.
