    Definitely the Caldey Island one.

    Any after shave from a barber supply store. My barber lets me add to his orders which saves me shipping cost since he buys enough to meet the free shipping threshholds.

    Stephan:
    320
    Alpine Menthol
    Bay Rum
    Spice

    Pinaud:
    Classic
    Bay Rum
    Osage

    My next order will include Lucky Tiger products.
    I feel like the king of cheap aftershave :D.

    Jason, I grew up with that stuff. Even the company's name is Nesher, it's an Israeli cosmetics company.

    No trader Joe this is not a trick question. I am trying to get an idea of what the best after shaves are by polling forum members. In this poll Old Spice wins with three votes, Pinaud follows with two votes and aqua velva with one vote. I excluded votes for items that I can't get in my area. I understand that Jonnie Gold likes Proraso Splash, but I can't that one therefore Proraso is out. May try Old Spice.

    High end:

    DR Harris Sandalwood. In a league of it's own.

    Price wise:

    Master's Lord and Master
    Pinaud Clubman Musk

    Close tie between those two.

    Niether Mandosval's high end nor Isaac's favorite are availabe in my area at any price. And I have only one variety of Pinaud Clubman's available in my area. I'll take mandsoval's post as a vote for pinaud since his high end is not available to me.

    Based on what is available to you, Pinaud Clubman is worth a try. You may want to check if there is a Sally's Beauty supply in your area. They carry Pinaud for cheap as well as Master's Bay Rum which is also very good.

    As for the DR Harris, you would have to order that by mail. At $45 a bottle however, it's something you'd want to sample before putting down that kind of change.

    Well if you are basing this on a poll, the best won't win, only the most popular will.

    However, the best is John Michael Kohler.

    You are right madosoval. There is a sallys some distance from me. If I do decide to go check out that place my wife is going to think that I have taken leave of my senses, but when have I ever paid any attention to her. How does Acqua Velva mesure up in your opinion?
