The first Old Spice product, a fragrance called Early American Old Spice for women, was introduced in 1937, closely followed by Old Spice for men in 1938. The Old Spice products were manufactured by the Shulton Company that was founded in 1934 by William Lightfoot Schultz.

The earliest of the men's products were dominated by shaving soap and aftershave lotion. When Old Spice was introduced, Schultz developed a colonial framework for those products and chose a nautical theme for Old Spice. Thus, sailing ships, in particular colonial sailing ships, were used as a trademark. The original ships used on the packaging were the Grand Turk and the Friendship. Other ships used on Old Spice packaging include the Wesley, Salem, Birmingham and Hamilton. A picture of one of these ships, drawn by impressionist painter Jairus Bellamy, is on display at [New York City]]'s Museum of Modern Art.[citation needed]

Procter & Gamble purchased Old Spice from the Shulton Company in June 1990. The clipper ship was replaced by the Sailboat/Yacht logo in the fragrance bottles in February 1992. In the late 2000s, P&G introduced many forms of deodorant sticks, body washes, and body sprays in several scents under the Old Spice brand.

In early 2008, the original Old Spice Scent was repackaged as "Classic Scent," both in the After Shave and Cologne versions. Both products were reintroduced in plastic bottles in lieu of the original traditional white glass bottles, with the stoppers in the top of the product red instead of gray, this one is the pure sports with gray stopper.

Nice experiment Allan.

You got some OE(over exposed parts). I find the image too soft. Note: in less than 1/60 Shutter, you need to have the tripod. =) This image is 1/10. Thus the softness. You can try to sharpen it up using Sharpening tools. Try Luko's. Search TL. It will help believe me.

Experiment more! =)


TFS.

Hi Allan,

glad you managed to build one. i hope more things will come out of this. just use a tripod bro and increase the aperture. all will be fine. practice makes perfect.
you can have endless ideas for a light box.
sorry ran out of smileys but you get my praise for this experiment. i like how you take challenging things for real. soon its not a challenge anymore.

regards
