Aftershave Hall of Shame

When I hear the "old man" comments, I just say "thanks" and take it as a compliment

 

I've got a bottle of AV Musk...been under the bathroom sink for...4 or 5 years. Probably longer. My mind's not as sharp as it used to be, but I digress. Used it twice, I think. Bought it 'cuz I thought this gal I was seeing at the time would like it. Neither one of us did. I bought some CVS post-shave skin balm yesterday, thinking maybe it'll be good for my skin. Smells like weak Mentholatum, but does make my skin all nice & silky soft. Lucky for me, I've been blessed (or cursed, whatever the case may be) with some really screwed-up sinuses, and my nose doesn't work half the time, so the smell really isn't an issue. That, and it was only 6 bucks.

 

Jovan Musk drives my wife mad, creating the start of sensual times, "The Cats Meow"

 

I'm ready to give AV Musk another try.

 

Me too! (I'm not young any more as it is!)

 

I think an "old man" smell is rather welcomed in these times. Let me change that to "I'd LIKE to think that."

 

Letg me guess...to paraphrase the Kool&The Gang song.. you think those are "too hot...too hot...too hot babeh"?

 

Is that a thing?

If so..... where.do.I.get.that?????

 

I've got nearly a full bottle if you want it.

 

How much?(In Washingtons, I mean)

 

Just whatever shipping would be.

 

1. Aqua Velva or anything like it (I literally feel nauseous upon smelling it)
2. Clubman - smells like Hoppe's #9 to me

I've never smelled the Veg, but if it smells like Piss, add it to #3.

 

Oh, not just piss. rancid cat piss.

 

Anything Pinaud, or anything with a powdery base, is out for me.

 

Kind of hard to find but the bad experiment Avon named Bravo had a similar cloying, gaggy sweetness that I always get from Clubman but to a too-high level of floral and fruity (literally). That was very unusual for Avons of that era; take 'em or leave 'em, sweetness was one thing their a/s was not known for (Wild Country has a tad of sweetness, now way more than back then, but nothing like Bravo).

 

Oh my goodness, Got that Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel for Christmas. That retched stuff is why I clicked on this thread. Horrible.

 

I need to reduce my Gillette Series A.S. Splash a bit before getting the AV Musk. But I will be happy to replace the Gillette with the AQ Musk when it's time.

 

I live too far East for Stetson-that is, I might like it myself, but I have to wonder if the ladies might say "Not in these parts!"

 

The only reason I wouldn't vote for Old Spice for the Aftershave Hall of Fame is the word "Smellmittment" that is now part of their ads.
