That is a great spot. Too bad the stuff still smells like Old Spice.

(I like the smell of Old Spice. The original stuff, not the newer flavors.  )

Love it. Love it. Love it!
Having seen how they did the first one ("I'm on a horse") with an unbelievable minimum of special effects, I kept playing this one back again and again to see what was likely real vs. virtual.
I gotta think the leap off the waterfall was the wizardry...the rest of it could be done with sets...except...not sure how they got the blue jeans on him in the last scene sitting on the 60's-era Honda.

Looking forward to seeing the "making of" video. Hope there is one.
Although once you see the trick revealed, some of the magic disappears.

I'm not sure either, but I think that he might be standing behind the Honda, and much like the first scene, the leg in the foreground isn't really his.
I do know that the first spot, "I'm on a Horse," was done in one continuous take (take 56, actually), with only a tiny bit of CGI used to make the diamonds look like they were coming out of Isaiah Mustafa's hand.
Oh, and yes, that is Mustafa's voice.

Great commercial!
The smell of Old Spice and English Leather always give me a trip down memory lane.

Here's how they made it... apparently with NO CG FX, and all in one take:
