    What's your favorite, must-have aftershave balm/splash/whatever? Which one can't you live without?

    Royall Bay Rum is my favorite, though it seems a bit extreme to say I couldn't live without it. After all, before this place, I had never used any type of aftershave (really) and somehow managed.

    Don't care for any of the balms I've tried...at all.

    Wa'Allahi Azim, JoAnna, I don't know--perhaps for me, Booster Mosswood?

    The one constant in every shave, the lowly Witch Hazel. I'll save the scents for the Colognes and such.

    I guess I have to say Proraso since it is the one I replace the most. Speick is a very close second.

    Italian Floid.....

    Pinaud Clubman would be a close second

    Wow. Tough one.

    I'd have to say Aqua Velva Ice Blue, with Proraso splash and then Old Spice (Shulton's) tied for a close second. The latter more for sentimental reasons than anything.

    Wow, what a tough decision. JoAnna has made me a test batch of an unscented aftershave splash. For me that's wonderful, as I can wear any cologne with it I want. If I left that out, i'd say old spice lime.

    my 2nd choice would probably be Alt Innsbruck.

    Without a doubt, not even a blink, it’s Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue!
    All others are mere passing fancies!

    oufffff, Bobby, I cannot remember when the last it was I had Old Spice Lime a/s, or cologne--maybe, back in Israel, in 1974.
     
  12. I don't know if its a "must have" but I have purchased and used more Egoiste by Chanel than any other. Of course, Old Spice and Aqua Velva sit proudly on the same shelf.

    oh, yes, JoAnna--you're right, I do love Anherb as well. :D

    Put a gun to my head, and its gotta be Aqua Velva......but I'm a glutton for variety, need the Whole collection to feel complete ;)

    Vifrex Dopo Barba from Italy is on the fast track to becoming one of my favorite aftershaves. It's a clear gel, and it certainly is the most cooling (menthol) of all the aftershaves I've tried to date. The scent is very, very nice--similar (loosely) to Blue Floid. I can catch little whiffs of it all day long. Vifrex has nice skin conditioning/healing properties too. I'm growing very attached to this little gem. I miss it when I use something else. :love029

    I would have to say Pre de Provence but I don't have a huge collection of aftershaves

    Tough call! I've recently had a call to return to "Old Spice", must be my age. :D
