Ah man, I don't think I've ever actually smelled the OG Old Spice. Maybe I'll hunt for some on the bay. Does the scent hold up in the soap very well or is it pretty muted by this point?

It’s muted in the soap but still there. To get the full OG effect, try to get Shulton Old Spice aftershave or cologne. The scent strength is strong by today’s standards. Perfect for the ‘60s through the ‘80s though.
