    What is your favorite aftershave splash? I will try to just do it by brand name as most brands that have many scents don't differ much besides the actual scent of the splash. I know many of you don't have one favorite so i made it so you can select multiple ones. If you could please select your favorite few 1-3 it would be appreciated.

    I am also looking for some one the cheaper end, after buying a custom Cooncat handle I don't have must in the shaving allowance :(. I got rid of many of the more expensive options however a couple in there are expensive ie Floid.

    This poll's main purpose is to narrow down my choices of some of the mid to low priced aftershave splashes. I only chose the few that I posted as they are mostly easily available to me in Canada. Some vendors do not ship alcohol splashes across borders (which is a pain in the butt). This is why I picked these, i went to a few Canadian retail websites and choose these. There are many other wonderful splashes that I would like to try and the next poll i make about aftershave splashes might include some more of the expensive and luxurious aftershaves.

    I want to try the Booster brand but haven't heard much. They have many great scents are for 11 bucks for 14 oz it is tough to beat it. The rest of them I have heard good things and want to try but there are just too many... to select the few for use sooner than later.

    I am looking to buy more... than my measly one.

    I have tried to edit the poll but cannot.

    Input on them would also be nice.

    Thank you,

    I really thought Masters Bay Rum would appear on this list. But I have only tried three or four different kinds

    Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue straight from the freezer is all that I do. One day I'm sure I'll expand my A/S options but for now this works great for me.

    Dang I knew i forgot one... I wanted to add that.

    Can a mod edit the poll, if you could take out floid and replace it with brut it would be appriciated? I cannot... or cannot figure it out. tried advance options as well.
    Thanks for pointing that out

    I am looking into getting a sampler from Shoebox shaving. Then i can decide which one i want to pick up... if i decide to go the booster route.

    That is what I got awhile back. Most of them are good, I liked the Mosswood enough to buy it.

    I just picked up a bottle of Barbasol Brisk AS from the Dollar General last night. Reminds me alot of AV or Skin Bracer, a very pleasent scent for me. And cost wise, it is only $1.75 for 5oz so it is hard to beat there. Best thing for me besides the scent is it has menthol as the 5th ingredient, so it has that nice cooling effect.

    Used it this morning after my shave and it has that "WAKE UP" effect like Skin Bracer, gives that sharp slap of a burn and then smoothes right out. I can still smell the scent almost 4 hrs after I put it on, so it has staying quality.

    I give it 2 thumbs up IMHO.

    I really want to try the polar ice... but they are out of that in samples. So I sent an email to them. Hope to hear back soon about it. I also want to try some more JM Frasers. Could end up using those two as my sc and aftershaves... Both appear to be good quality while on the low-mid price range.

    You should have an other category...

    About all I use is Superior 70 Bay Rum. I have two bottles going right now, a regular version and a home mentholated version. At just over $2 a bottle it's a bargain.

    I was thinking that but there are really so many others. I just tried to pick 15 or so of the ones I have heard about and want to try. Locally I have yet to find many splashes at all. Just have seen Brut and I believe Proraso.

    Ahhh, just as it should Aqua Velva is leading the pack! I use Nivea every day also and assume you're talking about the balm(?) don't know if they have a splash. I use Clubman once a week or so, but not on a freshly shaven face, I tend to apply it to my chest and the back of my neck.

    Where is Geo F. Trumper, Acqua di Parma, D.R. Harris and Penhaligons? :shocked031

    Edit: Just saw you were looking for some less expensive aftershave splashes

    I tried to keep off the higher priced ones.

    I will edit the first part to get a better description of what the point of this thread is.
