I don't use alcohol based aftershaves. I use plain unscented witchhazel sometimes and I use Nivia balms. There used to be a Gillette balm that was really nice but I haven't seen it since my oldest child was a baby. If I could find it I would get some more.

 

The Swiss and German Pitralon splashes are winners for me!

 

I'm fond of these as well. Just stay away from the Czech version. Eeeew.


I'm also digging the TSD samples I got last week.

 

Which Gillette...the Cool Wave?

Before Aqua Velva became an aftershave, it WAS Listerine, most probably.

Balms might be better in the wintertime-I'll test my Rise with this in mind(though I've been using it from time to time since the "shipment" arrived in early June.

 

Over the years, I've likely tried dozens. Currently I've got more than a dozen in rotation. I have many that I immensely enjoy. But my favorite is........

 

I didn't think those Barbasols were that big. I may have to be on the lookout for them.

I used Bay Rum this morning(Stephan's), figuring it would be comfortabe enough with the drop of humidity.

 

What's really nice is the price....less than $2 a bottle at the General Great menthol kick and a great powdery scent on the drydown. This smells like Skin Bracer should....

 

Good review, thanks. But it's interesting, as I once read a review on Skin Bracer that said SB is what Aqua Velva SHOULD be.

 

These days it is my vintage Old Spice Lime AS.
