    I personally don't like it but I voted neutral as I really don't care one way or the other. If you want to use it, then use it. If you don't, then don't. As for myself I've been using C.O. Bigelow's #1200 A/S Balm with the red stripe on it.

    You know, whenever I see the average man who wears these types of colognes (blue monkey you are, of course, the exception), I am constantly struck by the fact that they are trying WAAYYY too hard to be "manly".

    I mean, really...look at how utterly pretentious just the bottles are! For example, what is with the ridiculous little strap holding the cap on the Hugo cologne? Can't a real man even keep track of the lid!? Don't even get me started on "Drakkar Noir". I've always thought both the bottle and the name brings to mind men with their polyester shirts open to their navels, wearing huge gold medallions and asking women what their signs were. And what is "EXTREME POLO" anyway? Is that polo where you can use the mallets on the riders as well as the ball? And, finally, what is it with the "FIERCE" name and the STUPID picture of the man's chest!?

    A real man doesn't need such pretentiousness. A real man doesn't need to go out of his way to prove his manliness to others by wearing "FIERCE", or "Drakkar Noir". A real man just wants something simple and timeless... a classic. And that's exactly what Aqua Velva is. I know that the AVCL crowd will be up in arms over this post, and I will probably be the subject of much ridicule, but the best part of it all is this: no matter how loud the AVCL gnash their teeth, the pro-Velva vote is still almost three times the anti-Velva vote. :D

    (Once again, blue monkey, I am not directing any of my observations at you individually. I'm just making my general observations about those types of colognes.)

    Check his locker, after you slay the badger you will find it was guarding a extra large bottle of AV.

    I thought it was settled that Velva was the anti-christ and that Mennan is the second coming.

    Jack Palance can't be wrong.

    I like Italian Velva, that is Floid, but this American wiper fluid....

    The badger heard that! There will be badger poop in your Christmas Stocking. :D

    It's really a secret flask of D & B Vahalla Martini. :D

    Ice Blue Aqua velva baby!!! It does not taste too good though. I didn't think of tasting it until I read they put a bittering agent soooooo I rubbed some on my tongue. Not good.

    I don't think I would ever want an aftershave with another man's chest on it. Looks sorta proto-gay.

    That's more gay than aftershave with a PICTURE of another man's chest on it :D
    I say chop down a good smelling tree (cinnamon, cedar, etc.) and roll in the shavings like a real man ;)
