Gillette Flare Tip SuperSpeed 1966 | Old Spice Original Shaving Cream

[@dennisrmoorejr7329]

I do agree the Original Old Spice Shaving Cream is lacking the original scent, but does give a smooth shave.

[@Valandreas]

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements makes a tribute to the Shulton Old Spice original scent called Cold Spices. Supposed to be pretty spot on with the added cooling effect of menthol.

[@Samuel-ge7im]

Good morning Paul! God bless your wife she does a great job for the community. It’s great to see another video from you again, I hope you stay safe out there. Cheers from 🇦🇺!

[@walterfrasch8862]

Holy Cow! My birth quarter razor and my favorite which is Old Spice!! Best shave video ever!! Thanks Paul!!!

[@BotanicAlpaca]

I was gifted a tube of Super-Max shving cream so i made a great bowl lather out of that. Paired it with my Proraso Green Lotion and it was a really good match. Have a great rest of the week!

[@nicetna2010]

Top shave, Paul. I really enjoy when you use your vintage Gillette razors. Of all the razors in my collection, the vintage Gillettes are my favorite and still deliver the best shaves for me. I wish Old Spice would bring back their mug and soap in the original Shulton scent. I've some travel coming quickly upon me, considering this cream for the dopp kit. SOTD - J2 Slim (7-5-3), Astra Green (2), Kirk's Castile pre-shave, Arko stick, Clubman Bay Rum, Nivea balm.

[@santaclaus179]

my wife comes every time i am opening one of your videos , only to see your wonderful flowers jeje

[@JT-nf9tk]

Excellent shave Paul! I dislike companies that trick us by not fully disclosing the product.

[@scottchambers2814]

I love the scent of this cream and it’s performance. Paired with a vintage Gillette razor, it is a great shave! I don’t have a memory of the original but from what I understand they make a “Classic” scent in their aftershave that may be closer to what you remember.

Well done Paul 👍! Old Gillette’s are such a joy to use. Thanks & Take care, Zac.

[@megamega362]

Hi Paul great vid as always,I got some 75grms of old spice lime ,and also original shipped from India via eBay lovely original scent.

[@nydieselinfl]

Good morning 🌞!!! Fantastic effort by the Mrs! Awesome shave too!!! This cream is definitely no where near Old Spice Shulton, but it protects well and smells great for what it is. I bought 5 tubes of it, and use it in my travel kit, and sometimes at home. I'm probably going to use the Slim Adjustable today for the SOTD, with some Truefit and Hill Trafalgar across the board. Have a great day!!!!

[@drunkn711]

Thanks for the video Paul! SOTD: Parker semi-slant razor, Bic chrome platinum blade, Stirling shave soap sample (on the 36th 3-pass shave of that sample!) WCS beehive brush, Floid black aftershave, and Nivea sensitive balm. Stay safe out there!

[@eddiek0507]

Good video Paul. Old Spice aftershave is one of my favourites.. Reminds me of my dad.. 👍

[@graydog6284]

Nice shave Paul. I bought that cream a few years ago and like you I was expecting more of the "Original" scent . Thanks again Paul and stay safe.

[@iangarner8857]

Thats a nice looking brush. Good shave as usual Paul. So many different blades to choose from. Shame about the old spice lol

[@gaetanpilon7993]

Thanks,everything is ok for me and my family.

[@dalehawley2634]

Paul, all the best to you and Mrs H. Your shave went great. You been very inspirational to me as I have slowly tipped my toes into true wetshaving. Soon I will receive my first ever brush, bowl, and quality shaving cream (TOBS Grapefruit). One of your faves I know. Haven’t taken the next step with purchasing a safety razor yet but that may come soon. For now it’s still the Mach 3 for my head and face. See you Easter Morning my friend. Thanks for all you do pal, and stay well.

[@joaonevessantos]

Beautiful purple flowers in Mrs H arrangement! Always nice to see them in the background! You could have done a lavender shave today :) The ancient stone WSC brush would also make a good match with the thrown in stone scuttle.

Hi Paul, hope you and Mrs H are all well. Great shave, and enjoyable as per usual. Looking forward to my shave tomorrow, as I will be using for the first time Mitchell's Woolfat. And I will be having my fourth shave with my Karve razor I got around 10 days ago. Keep safe!

[@anthonyp6810]

When ever you bring out the captain bowel you know it’s going to be a good shave alas what a shame it didn’t pass the Paul test. Still a good vid. SOTD is on hold yup I find if you give it a week come round the next week it feels amazing now we are in lock down. I’m still working but don’t see many people just staff members so there use to seeing me unshaven. I’m loving lock down as driving to work is supper quick and the sky’s are BLUE no pollution.

[@terrym1065]

Nicely done Paul💈💈 A bit of a let down on the scent of that tube of Old Spice eh😒, has happened to many vintage scents..sad. Easy to over shave with some of the milder razors, that blade is still slicing away just can't feel it🤔 Chasing the Dragon😬 Thanks to Mrs H for going out of her way to make a beautiful arrangement, much appreciated👌 SOTD: PAA Cube, A&E "Kalifa" soap/splash/perfume, Rocnel Elite M, Kai blade, Thater Beehive Badger, Alum, Thayers Witch Hazel, AV 5 in 1 balm....Marvelous😊 Another great video and comments, thanks👍 Stay safe and healthy all. Enjoy!

Great video Paul really enjoyed it. I always look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays to tune in best to you and Mrs H :) I just ordered some Palmolive Shaving sticks look forward to them.

[@Vernalobos]

Thanks for brightening up my day Paul. Great shave. I cannot do SOTD at moment as I cannot stand on my leg. When I can I think the R41 will be brought out for an airing!

[@timkennedy1192]

My SOTD today was WeiShi longhandle, Astra green blade, Omega S brush and a melange of Stirling soap (I had several samples in my lather cup and don't even know what scent it is anymore), alum (because I nicked myself for the first time this year), Gold Bond for post followed by dollar store knockoff of Old Spice. We are not supposed to shop except for essentials, so I am using stock on hand. I do have a refill puck of Stirling Spice I plan to use when the samples are gone. Too bad that Old Spice was a disappointment, I was thinking of buying some.

[@leehaseley2164]

I love my Flare Tip, PaulHFilms. It is 1963. I love the smell of that Old Spice original, but have no idea how it would compare to the real deal. Shave of the day: Rockwell 6c on plate 4 Phoenix and Beau Albion DS cosmetic jade 26mm timberwolf Voskhod 2nd use

[@iangarner8857]

What do you think of the Voskhods? People are raving about them and I really want to try them. Apparently they're Teflon coated so it takes a shave or two to break through it to get a good smooth shave.

[@leehaseley2164]

@@iangarner8857 I like them very much. Enough to buy 100! You cannot even feel the blade in most razors.

[@iangarner8857]

Hi Paul- Great mid-week shave; thank you! The Flair Tip is definitely a nice razor that consistently delivers a solid shave. I hope you and Mrs H are doing well. Please take good care; be safe and be well. See you on Sunday for the weekend shave. Best regards, as always!

Great mid week shave 🪒 have a great week

[@danspencer9941]

I almost bought the exact same Old Spice cream, but glad I didn’t. Looks like it lathered nicely, though. Great shave as always, Paul, and beautiful flowers from Mrs. H 👍🏻

[@koosk41]

Since the 'Orange' shave, I notice the colour co-ordination continues. I think it's time the rebellion starts now! Time to get on to Old Spice and tell them to sort it out! Too many of us know Old Spice is nothing like the 'Original' and we need to know what the hell they were thinking. Cheers again Paul and even Linda's in on the Old Spice 'fraud'. It was her dad's favourite.

[@jptourville1973]

Hi Paul. Greetings from Wisconsin, USA. I just watched your video where you used a vegan soap from Hila in Isreal. I actually found it on Amazon. I can't wait to try it, because you really have it great reviews. Thanks!

[@SolidShaves]

When i bought the old spice from India, it had the original old spice scent. That is not mild, but medium razor blue mild, red heavy

[@pennsysteam]

Great shave Paul! Flowers look great Mrs H! I have a 56' model of that razor. I have six vintage Gillette's. Still perform awesome! I have the Lime version of that cream as well. I really like the performance/scent of it. Stay safe my friend!

[@davidjones6470]

As always good shave 👌

[@brianb.2894]

Hi Paul. The super speed did the deed handily. And the cream aside from the scent was good too. Seemed the quality of the video was extra good this time or maybe it was just my imagination. House bound here in the u.s.just like everyone else except for the grocery store trips. Just taking long walks and reading a lot. Watching to much t.v. Oh well. Cheers pal.😊

[@johngoard8272]

Yes I like the older Gillette razors too Paul only I like a long-handled one's because I have a limited range of movement in my right arm my favourite Gillette is my Super Slim Adjustable 109 Black Beauty with a Gillette Siver Blue blade - my go-to combo at the moment. Oh yes Thayers my favourite follow up the medicated one woo-hoo

[@allenlong8615]

I almost bought that cream and read the reviews which changed my mind. A lot of people were mad about the scent being so far off from original old spice but everyone did say it performed well.

[@jasekhughes2672]

Great video to wake up to, loved the video Paul 👌

[@conversationalshaving9805]

I very much like the Gillette black tip razor you mentioned. I just received one of those, and it is a very forgiving razor. My regular Flare Tip, such as you use here is from 1954, I think. Looks like you had a nice shave.

[@DismontDeSire]

Old Spice Original has good smell, but if shaving cream is not, it's a pity!) I am glad that this cream at least works well, and provides a slickness. Thank you, Paul!

[@pickinduck]

I got a tube of that Old Spice not long ago but haven't tried it yet. I had a good shave last night Razor: Wilkerson Sword metal razor with Wilkerson Sword blade Soap: Col. Conk Bay Rum Brush: Nondescript

[@MarkTWilliams1969]

Hi Paul nice shave yes I have tried the old spice shave cream does not smell like old spice that's why I did not bother buying the Indian version of old spice aftershave but I may have been wrong not too maybe in the future I have a flair tip blue one I think the paint has come off but it still has little specs of blue left take care and enjoy the rest of your week 😀

[@purpleglitteruk]

Gr8 shave Paul 💈👍 And lovely little display Mrs H 💐 Such a shame when the scent isn't the same. Hope you're both well 💈👍💐💈

[@talega1]

I guess I will be annoyed, too since I bought the same cream and only for the smell (I have not used it...). I have a bunch of these razors, probably one of each...., and then got some made in the UK, too. Those have A, II and some other print, nicely made and cannot tell a difference between them (in shaving). Currently using a Fatip Lo Storto (Slant), not better than the original Fatip OC. Crystal is the blade and usually a synthetic brush. Head and face shaving....so I need a lot of lather. Cheers mate and keep it going.....

[@user-qq4mg7um5u]

I like the outro music 👍

[@davidbarker8516]

SOTD. Will be a Dolman &Walsh razor. Vito Italian shaving soap. Red One aftershave cream. Blade is a Shark 2nd use

[@Adrian-jk4kx]

Good evening Paul.....I'm fairly new to all this but I'm starting to sense the difference in blades.....even the sound ! Using a Czech Tiger at the moment..... completely different to Wilkinson.

[@thomasbeaton5467]

SOTD: I tried using a Rolls Razor that my dad gave to me but I didnt get it quite sharp enough so I switched to my gillette superspeed, no date code but I think it's from 1946. Tried a shark super chrome for the first time, not sure how I feel about it yet. In the end I got a close shave with minimal irritation, I'll take that!

[@magnoliamike]

Just a suggestion: for the month of May since you make 8 videos a month could you do your favorite 8 Vintage Gillettes in descending order? I along with many others would love to see that! Cheers 🍻💈😁✌️💈

is it not better to create the lather directly on your face ( for stimulation of the cheeks ) or I am wrong ?

Supermax blades are the sharpest in my opinion Paul.

[@marvley361]

I was given by a WWII vet an old spice refill puck that is in a round cardboard container unlike the square ones I’ve seen that is dated back to the early forties. It has never been opened so I’m hesitant to use it. Has anyone seen one like it or does it belong in a museum?

[@jensebu78]

The scent is like the India OS. I heard they don't like our OS scent... It's a shame, but still y the cream is one of the best i know! Performance is awesome!

[@ejones0310]

OCD, that’s me. I know that three passes is all my skin can stand, yet I find myself doing cleanups that turn into a forth pass. All in pursuit of the BBS shave when I already have a DFS shave. I started shaving in 1967 or 1968 with a Gillette adjustable and Gillette Blu Blades. If I ever find one in good shape I’m going to buy it. Not to shave with, but to put in a shadow box to hang on the wall.

[@karlharper2715]

Annoying that the scent wasn't there but still a great shave. SOTD: Progress/Rubie+/Proraso green preshave/LEA menthol cream/Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel/Floid Suave ASL/LEA balm. Very nice indeed 🙂

[@IAMCDB]

That's a bummer. Why call something old spice original that doesn't smell like old spice:)

Hey Paul, nice shave, I had the same issue with the soap, ZERO scent!! I gave it to my daughter for her leggs lol, have a nice day mate 👍🤓👍

[@toddf9321]

Good evening Paul! Nice floral arrangement...thank you Mrs. H! Those colors are calming. The only original scented Old Spice shave soap/cream was manufactured before June 1990. The Gillette Flare tip super speed is a nice shaver indeed. I have a 1958 Flare tip that has always delivered a great shave. Its only flaw I believe is a slight misalignment in the TTO doors...at some point I will have it sent out for adjustment. I went into my blade collection and found a 1951 Gillette Thin (uncoated carbon) blade, stropped on denim to remove any micro-corrosion, and loaded into a razor handle. Those are very good blades if one can ignore the slight plucky feeling (a good kind of plucking...not ouch) from an uncoated blade slicing through whiskers. IMHO, those blade leave the best post shave face feel. SOTD: EJ 3ONE6 loaded with a 1951Gillette Thin (uncoated carbon) blade (2nd use). Fine American Blend shaving soap lathered with a That Darn Rob 24 mm BOSS brush. 3 passes plus pick-ups. Finished with Thayer's AF SF skin toner (the last of it for now) and PAA CaD aftershave. BBS++ result. That was a very satisfying shave Paul. I know the Old Spice cream was a disappointment scent-wise...pity. Keep yourself safe and healthy please. Take care.

Pitty about the Old Spice cream sent. I'm also not too fussy about the razor handle length as long as I can find a comfortable grip, although I do seem to have an issue with concave shaped handles so I avoid them. I would skip that extra pass, that would give me some razor bumps/burn even with a mild razor and a good slick lather, my skin is quite sensitive.
