Hi Everyone! I am looking to add to my current aftershave storage, that includes Proraso ASB and .....well that's it. I want something that is easy on the skin as mine is fairly sensitive (preferably no manthol...as I only have negative experiences with it ). I once had 2 demos of Trumpers Sandlewood and Lime Skinfood that were used up very fast...needless to say the Sandlewood was my favorite of those. I am asking because I love the woodsy/musky scents, and I want to hget them because my wife has grown to LOVE them....but I don't have any. I am thinking of getting a bottle of Trumpers Sandlewood to go with my Sandlewood(like) soaps, but I am wondering what other options there are. I haven't tried any really, so I can really learn from your input. I am not to concerned if it is a balm or splash...I just dont want anything oily. If you could please let me know what suggestions you may have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly!
My absolute favorite aftershave for performance is that sold at TSD store (link at top of site). You have enough scent choices I think you can find something. While not woodsy/musky, the Bourbon Vanilla is definitely masculine and also very good. Another choice would be DR Harris Marlborough (I recommended the soap to you in a similar thread) in either the splash or milk.
The TSD store has several. Im a huge fan of JoAnna and her products. The cedar wood is very nice as is the bourbon vanilla.
I have some bourbon vanilla on the way right now. I really liked the scent description and hope that it is great.
+1 on the bourbon vanilla. I have the TSD scented soap and the cologne-and am a total fan. I also consider bay rums to be a favorite scent.
I took a look at the TSD store and I am really interested in the Cederwood soap and AS. I'll deffinately keep them in mind and probably pick up a sample or two just to see. Thanks for all the input. I am interested to see what other stuff people suggest. This is great! Thank you very much!
Sorry, I saw Proraso and jumped. Yes, I really, really like AV Musk too. Uhm, so, yeah, I meant AV Musk
The wife seems to like when I wear Musgo Real. It comes in a couple of scents. Stop by a Caswell Massey store and ask to try a sample if your not sure. It's been a wet shavers favorite forever and you should get compliments when you wear it.
LOL...I should have mentioned it was for sensitive skin; and I am basing my experience strictly on the crummy experiences I have had with the few menthol products. (if the Sensitive Proraso has menthol...man that wouls be really embarrasing!:happy102) I have ordered a few aftershave samples from Connaught Shaving. I got: D.R. Harris - Marlborough, Sandalwood, and Pink Lotion (for kicks! And it should go well with my Wild Rose QED) TOBS - Sandalwood and Mr Taylor's Luxury AS They all seem great, I can but can't believe how much is out there. THank you all for your help! I will let you know how it goes.
Not really a scented aftershave per se, but I love the charred wood/smoky smell of witch hazel in the morning.
The most manly aftershave would surely be either bay rum or whisky. Islay whisky, hevily peated Islay whisky
