View attachment 145201Love this stuff possibly my all time favourite cream.
The performance is indisputable and the scent reminds me of my once a week sunday night bath for school with Imperial leather.
The only product in the world you can use & the sticker is untouched at the end, infact there’s no soap left but a small imperial leather sticker is there right to the death lol :ROFLMAO:
Two passes was plenty but i went with three anyway, There was far to much soap left to give up so i was basically shaving fresh air but hey everyone to their own
Enjoy your night boys n girls

Hiya Les,

Yeah vintage OS can be excellent, both the juice and soap. Having the benefit of living in Denver chances of running into those in the wild are not terrible at stores or garage sales.

The soap in my opinion is unmatched by any other I've tried. That's figuring both the scent and puck are undamaged and perfect. Scent is quite good for sure but the performance is the star. I can say my soap experience is pretty extensive and the OS seems the best for me regarding all round everything.


The OP has a kinda unusual 3 3/4 version. Nice!
