RR Blue is in a top contender spot with Epsilon as a replacement for my Aqua Velva when I bottom out (it's entirely possible that AV may claw its way back in, though--I really like it on all levels: scent, performance, and price).
True that, and a 10 minute walk from my home could even save me the .001 cents that I'd spend driving
@poppi --Hey, I believe Paul's comment was a typo. I think he got auto corrected as 'detest', but meant DETECT. In other words: "I detect some serious negatories (no's)." Just silliness on Paul's part--certainly no offense intended or criticism meant--just adding on to a joke you were making. Paul, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
Wow, you were right......sometimes my silliness in here comes faster than it is written. I apologized to poppi. Thanks for catching that.
My issue with tobacco shave products is,...am I going to get a fresh, clean scent, or will I be shaving with an ash tray?
I always thought "negatory" was trucker-talk. as in: "Any county mounties in sight?" "Negatory, good buddy. I'm east bound and down, loaded up and truckin'!"
Y'know, I think it IS more trucker than cowboy. I couldn't quite recall exactly where it is most famous, so I just threw "Cowboy" out there.
Pull that trigger! If you don't like it (can't imagine why) I will buy it from you. Be sure to get the splash, the balm does not have the same scent.
My Tabac is kept in the shed, at the end of a long garden, behind a door, that has sign which reads beware of the leopard!
Proraso Green Splash is a great fresh scent for warm weather. Tabac and Old Spice are nice for cool weather. But I get the most variety and easiest "matching" with soap scents by purchasing the colognes that match the soap/cream scent and blending a little of the cologne into a blob of Nivea aftershave balm. Then you've got the moisturizing qualities of the balm and the same scent as the shave soap. The balm also helps "lock-in" the scent for better longevity throughout the day. Nivea's light scent never seems to overtake the cologne I add to it. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
