Done with Clubman?

So I just finished 30 days of random aftershaves and the winner is... Clubman according to the wife. She said she would be fine if that's all I used but I like variety.

 

Put it on after my shave today, and it calmed down quickly. My wife actually likes it! It seems I like If I don't put it on too thick, I should be able to wear to the office too.

 

My wife loves clubman and hates when I wear anything else.

 

@OP
I feel you. My wife hates pretty much the entire ED Pinaud/Clubman line.

 

My wife used to buy me fancy shmancy expensive colognes from the perfume counter at her favorite overpriced department store. We're talking $60+ a bottle eurotrash swill. I rarely used any of it (Drakkar Noir briefly, some Oscar and Giorgio for a bit) but all of it has gone to her son.

Since joining this forum I heard about Clubman so when I saw it for $7 or so at the local pharmacy I decided it was a cheap experiment.

I always use scents sparingly so I put less than a dime sized dribble in my hand and then rubbed on my face after my next shave. Her reaction was immediate exclaiming how great I smelled! She seems to repeat that sentiment a lot since.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones to have a wife that likes Clubman.

I noticed someone in this thread said their family described it as "powdery." That's one of the things I like about it...it DOESN'T smell like baby powder. Just about every fragrance I got from my wife over the years was too sweet and reminded me of Johnson's Baby Powder. Yuck. Not so with Clubman, IMO.

 

At least you won't have to share with her!!!! I would keep the Clubman---maybe use a smaller dose.

 

I would like to assure you, Mr. Shaverman, that I am not on that list. . The only issue I have with it is that I've come to believe that their great shampoo cuts off the need for conditioner, and I still have a lot of the Hair Tonic left.....may decide to chuck that.

 

I'd like for them to have Clubman's larger sizes too-I presume they had just the 6 oz. at your store?

 

That may be my next AS....heard so many good things about it, including from you .

 

I put my aftershaves and witch hazel in little spray bottles. I use it sparingly and it lasts a long, long time. A little goes a long way and there is little waste.

 

Hey, that could be a lifetime favorite scent for him

 

That's what I've been hearing and reading.

 

My wife likes most of my aftershaves including the Veg but she doesn't like Clubman at all. Go figure.....

 

I'm sure that it was the small bottle although it was more than 40 years ago. I have the big bottle now...

 

I believe I have solved the mystery of wives/girlfriends.brides, etc.... not liking Clubman. It is simply a matter of biology. Women's brains are wired different than ours. Women wear perfumes they think men (or indeed, sometimes other women) will like. We use aftershaves that we like. I doubt if any man purchases an aftershave with the thought, " I'll bet she will really like this....". We are confident that our innate masculinity is more than enough to attract sufficient numbers of females, without resorting to chemical warfare. I use Clubman (as well as most of the other Pinuad product lines) because I like it.

I do not have to resort to mere fragrances. I posses the most potent aphrodisiac known to science....I am a killer guitar player.......

 

I'm not a huge fan of the original Clubman either. IT is just ok. I prefer the Vanilla and Special Reserve. The SR is very strong but has a macho scent. like a floral, woodsy, leathery, tobacco. At first i didnt like it but It took some time but the scent has grown on me and now I like it.

 

It's funny, but I get more compliments from my brother than I do from my wife. My brother is about 6" taller than I am, and I shave my head, so when we hug, he can usually smell whatever soap/aftershave combos I used that day.

 

I like Clubman also. Haven't had any problems with it so far. IMHO.

 

Well in my case, I wear something I like when I'm not with the wife, and something we both like when I'm with her. I guess I'm just a sucker for compliments!

 

Eddie Pinaud sure came up with a winner in 1810
