What a difficult choice!!! Since your forcing me to choose, I'll pick Clubman(Original, VI bay rum and the Veg). So clever one name brand several choices..
Personally, I can do without them. Even though I have about 20 different aftershaves, I don't use them very often. I normally use cold water and then a toner. I couldn't pick one I couldn't live without. Right now I'm really into Old Spice and the Adidas aftershave. My wife likes Grey Flannel more than I do. Which isn't a bad problem to have.
But there is no blasphemy in wetshaving. If it works, then it is good. Just because Nivea is widely known brand instead of a micro artisan doesn't mean their products won't work well. Lea is also not a micro artisan, and their aftershave balm is great.
No love for Old Spice? Frankly, I am shocked. I love aftershave. I own an embarrassing amount of it, and I change it up constantly. I don't use my Old Spice often, but I really think that it is a necessity. Keep in mind we are talking about the original Shulton formula. The veritable cornerstone of any aftershave collection/ accumulation/ obsession. If I had to give it all up, my Shulton Old Spice would be the one I would part with last. And if I had to start again, it would be the first thing I bought.
Always wanted to try old spice. When I was a chilf it was so popular, so much so that it became kind of cheesy "Oh no not old spice."became popular mentality, same with brut and hi karate. Now I am older i am interested to see why it was popular in the first place
Search "doctor adorable" and "pimenta racemosa" on ebay. Seller "creamselling" has several sizes, but a 1.1 oz. bottle of EO is currently $7.79, which includes the shipping. I love bay rum(s), but I think the PR EO certainly needs some helper fragrances. I haven't figured out my formula yet! Good luck!
I bought some aftershaves a few weeks back. I work in a hospital therefore I avoid the brands with strong lasting fragrance. I like Lucky Tiger tonic. It feels great and it doesn't sting. Also the scent is not too strong. Proraso is nice to. It has a cooling feeling and again, the scent is mild.
