Fear not, TSR citizen - I have arrivedWell, who has the OSP Old Gold soap and this new Novus Spice for a scent comparison?
@Blademonkey - you may be interested in this.
Usual caveat when I comment on anything Old Spice related - I'm not familiar with the Shulton version.
Old Gold is very nice. Stronger scent strength than P&B Night Witch and it enveloped me during the shave. Right level of fragrance to not cause any irritation. I don't have the splash so can't add anything in that space. Usual OSP performance - great.
Like OSP, the Novus Spice performs great - consistent with all of Brian's soaps. The scent is different as this is Old Spice + Orange and Cinnamon. It's easy to make out these 3 parts and they're well blended. Unfortunately the scent didn't work for me - reminded me of something from old that I couldn't quite place. Most won't carry the same scent baggage as me and I'm sure they'll thoroughly enjoy it.
