    As it says folks, I'd love to know your thoughts on the above as I'm looking for an inexpensive but good lime cologne and this seems great value. I know PC is an old and respected American brand and I'm an old-fashioned guy at heart so let it out and tell me what's what, please. Thanks!

    :) Howdy! I used some of the Lime Sec last night after shaving before going to a football game. It's a great scent and is aromatic for a while. It does not seem to last all day; however. It is in my rotation of scents, after shaves and colognes, in particular. Always, Gene

    I've used the original clubman,special reserve and virgin island bay rum. The original is my favorite, the bay rum I like, but can burn like fire :eek:. "lol" The vanilla and lime sec are on my to get list also. I hope you post a review if you get the lime.

    Have you tried any old standby's: Aqua Velva, Aqua Velva Ice, Old Spice, Mennen Skin Bracer or Florida Water(it can also light your fire :) )

    I love Clubman scents, might have to try the whole family as many of them sound enticing.

    I didn't try it yet, but I plan to. I can't find a good vendor who carries it ,with decent shipping rates for my place. The stuff is cheap enough but the shipping rate is outrageous.

    Love Old Spice! A friend sent me some vintage Shulton Old Spice cologne and I love it. I've had fancy, posh stuff that cost a bit of money (when I was young and flush) but nothing beats the real thing. I wish I'd been around to try the OS Lime & and the Burley. And then had the foresight to put a tonne of the aftershave and cologne into cold storage so I could use the old Shulton stuff forever. Even the stuff Made in England that I used to be able to get over here about 10 years back smelled better than the Euro stuff doing the rounds now - felt better on the skin too. I note OS is made in India too, any good? I see they do lime as well and shaving creams. I'd love to try a few in the Clubman range as there is just something olde worlde American barbershop about them that really intrigues me.

    :) I was going to ask you if you'd tried the modern Shulton Old Spice made in India? I hear its better than the P&G version. How about the clone made by Vie Jon, I hear thats good also, but so far I'm not having any luck finding it locally.

    I just looked up the PC lime cologne, is that ever cheap. The lime I use is now $ 60 for an 8 oz bottle plus shipping. I don't know how you can complain about shipping costs!

    I have the Lime Sec in a sample. It smells good, but hardly lasts. I like Stephans Island Lime much more. Both go well with Osage Rub.
