It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it ain't bad.
Not my favorite, but it is in the rotation.

Why so much hate for Lustray Blue Spice?

No problem with Blue Spice.
I love the Blue Spice. For me, its a solid 'go to' splash that pairs well with just about anything....
I've not seen any disparaging of Blue Spice; have the Artisinal Enforcers been at it??

Hate? Must be a rhetorical question. I never see it even mentioned here. Indifference is more like it. It’s cheap stuff. I used it once maybe twice. No great shakes.
Never witnessed hate, but agree that there are a number of reviews that consider it mildly "old lady" or "old mannish" in nature. Probably not the most popular aftershave out there but I happen to like it and have it in the "den."
I had a bottle. Used about 2/3 of it, then just got tired of the scent. I was never "wow" with it, I just tolerated it. Finally got to the point where I didn't like it anymore.
Blue Spice is just not a commonly used aftershave. I have it, but it doesn't see a lot of use. Not because I don't like it. I do. I just have a lot of aftershaves and the bigger bottles, like Lustray's and Masters, even the Pinaud line, don't find their way onto my crowded bathroom shelves. I should probably decant.
I love it. Maybe it's because I have a Pinaud state of mind.
Never tried it, but it just seems like it would be generic, back-of-the-neck old school barbershop stuff. Maybe I'll try some, but I'm currently most interested in a big 400ml jar of Proraso sandalwood, or Barrister and Mann's "Spice" interpretation of the old Shulton stuff as my next purchase.

You ask “Why so much hate” ????
How can people hate something that they don’t take notice of?
I have not noticed any recent threads (hate or praise) on this product, but looked it up recently when I did some research about ”Blue” aftershaves. In the end, I got the impression that it was just another run of the mill cheap fragrance that had not much going for it and most likely was not worth spending my hard earned shillings on. ”It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it ain't bad” is hardly a glowing endorsement and I do not see much sense in celebrating or supporting mediocre products.
But “hate”??
Me thinks you confuse “hate” with people just not taking much notice of stuff.

If we're offering opinions — I love Blue Spice. Top tier, for me.
I really like it! I also like the Lustray Spice and Draggon Noir.
I have been thinking about getting the spice. Draggon Noir is an adequate clone. If they both have the legs like Blue Spice, I will get it. The Draggon is a EdT though.
Well Blue Spice has some things that probably keep it from being in the discussion much.
* It's a product aimed primarily at barbers, and probably US-based barbers I imagine.
* It's not a 'blue' scent
* it's not a grocery store, or drugstore product
Even wetshavers probably aren't extremely aware of it.
That said I own it and like it.

I enjoy Lustray Blue Spice. It will remain in my den.
I have a bottle of Lustray Blur Spice. It's in my closet. I like the scent but I love mentholated splashes. I need to put to some Stirling menthol crystals...........
Like most of Clubman products other than Lime Sec and Citrus Musk have serious longevity. For some reason, VIBR is gone immediately after the clove burst. I did decant it last night. Hopefully it improves?
