Isaiah Mustafa, better known to the general public as the “Old Spice Guy,” is one of the most beloved campaign spokespeople in recent memory, with his charming speaking voice and perfect intuition about what women and men want the most. But in recent years, the (much, much) more intense Terry Crews has begun to appear in the company’s spots. So when Mustafa returns in a new spot to tell us about the benefits of smelling like nature with Old Spice’s “Timber” scent, we figured it would only be a matter of time before Crews  jumps in to tell us why the appropriately ridiculous-named “Bearglove” is better.

The spot is titled “And So It Begins,” which leads us to believe this is just the opening shot in the Crews vs. Mustafa rivalry. It also reminds us of the time Fabio (yes, that Fabio) attempted to take the title of “Old Spice Guy” away from Mustafa in a 2011 campaign that resulted in hundreds of videos, earning the brand millions of impressions and getting Fabio exiled into outer space for his failed attempt.
