Have you ever found the product of your dreams-just to have it get bought out by a big company and change for the worst? That’s what happened to us with the original Old Spice. Not just Old Spice, but we sought out to find the smell of an old school Barbershop. We couldn’t find it anywhere, so we made our own.

This is the way men used to smell before marketing and big corporations ruined it. So me and my brother came from a long line of better, and our grandfather, Big Al, he had a barbershop in Brooklyn. When he passed away, we inherited all of his old barber antique. Straight razors, strops, his old barber chair, but there was one aftershave in particular, Scholten's Old Spice. Old Spice from nineteen thirties, not the one that you can get today, that ceramic bottle with the red and the gray cap. It's our favorite thing ever. It's still our favorite thing better. And to us, it just smells like pure Americana. Unfortunately, they sold to Procter and Gamble, and it got completely changed, and you cannot get that fragrance anymore. And that is what started this entire business is us trying to recreate that fragrance, and, it took us years. My brother bought every fragrance oil, every dupe oil. He had bought all his own lab equipment. He was trying to make essential oils, and it took him a very long time. One day, I remember like it was yesterday, he came upstairs with the amber bottle and he was like, I got it. And I opened it up and it was it brought me right back to my grandfather's barbershop. If you guys are interested in that in that smell or you could remember that nostalgic feel or maybe you remember being in a barbershop as a kid, this is that fragrance that you're looking for. I'm gonna put a link right down below. It's our F Shave Tonic, the fragrance called Gunpowder Spice. And, if you know exactly the smell that I'm talking about, you won't be disappointed.
