It's not an perfect match but it's not bad and cheap enough to give it a go.The current modern stuff made in India, is it good stuff ? And is the scent like the original old spice ? as quite fancy an old spice scented shave

The last bottle of OS AS I bought was made in India by Rubicon circa 2012 and it smelled exactly like vintage. However, there have been changes in India I read and I fear the formula has since been reformulated. I had a tube of their shave cream from then as well and it smelled/worked great. I don't like the current P&G OS AS as it has been reformulated and smells sweeter w/o the deep rich spiciness of the past.
For a shave soap that smells like the original go here:
Stirling Soap Co.

Barrister and Mann Spice Shaving Soap, 4oz - Omnibus Base
Who says the old ways aren't the best ways? Barrister’s Reserve® Spice is a slice of vintage Americana. Featuring notes of carnation, nutmeg, vanilla, and tonka bean, Spice is great for when you're looking for a bit of history. Your suave, dapper grandfather? He used soaps like this and smelled...www.maggardrazors.com
It almost begs belief P&G haven't reformulated Old Spice to be like the original, well unless the new formulation is actually more popular than the original version. ..

To be honest they are not very good, I have other Shaving creams from India and apart from Old Spice and Dettol I am happy with them. Old Spice creams are a bigger disappointment because as well as the performance is not good the scent is not like an Old Spice.
SW17? I used to live in Valnay St between 2007 and 2008Those were the 2 creams I bought in India! I used them again recently, and like yourself I wasn't very impressed with them.
What are the other Indian creams you have used and liked? I have a tube of Vicco, I used it once and I think I liked it, I should use it again. One of the few creams I can get on the high street where I live in SW17.

I remember The Antelope. I enjoyed drinking in The Selkirk but it looks like that's turned in to a foody pub now (from internet photos).I know that road, it's the one next to my favourite pub 'The Antelope'.
Small world!

Yardley Gold and Yardley Elegance and AXE Denim these are very good, the smell and performance are great and I can recommend them without a doubt. I haven't tried Vi-John and Park Avenue but remember reading that they are very good as well in this forum.Those were the 2 creams I bought in India!
