There's Something About It...

So, last night I take a late evening shave to test out a straight razor that I had honed up. The honing was good, and I got a good shave; used some Florena shaving cream for the skin conditioning since I didn't know how good or bad the edge would be. Now, I proceed to follow it up with the after shave duties. I decide for Aqua Velva and TAGMSC aftershave milk. Plenty of cooling tingle with softness, and my skin feels good!

Now, I have plenty of other aftershaves, and EdTs. For the most part, I've got a collection that the wife approves of. I will also usually let her have a test of the closeness and smell for approval, here's what happened last night:

Me: "Pretty good shave, huh?"
Wife: "Yeah, smells good. What is it?"
Me: "Well, let me run down the shave for you..."
Wife:
Me: "OK -- OK. It's the Aqua Velva that your smelling."
Wife: Seriously?!?!
Me: "Yes."
Wife: "Huh. The cheap stuff?"
Me: "There's something about an Aqua Velva man."

After that we have a good laugh at it all. Anyway, I knew a few of you around here would appreciate Aqua Velva's triumph of the day.

 

Do I even need to respond to this.

GOT VELVA?

SWMBO will not admit it but she likes it too.

 

Good call, thanks for sharing that. I do find that the Velva has a "way" with the ladies

Plus, all the "good guys" use it:

 

When the Aqua Velva goes on my face and Dean Martin starts playing on the ipod, the missus knows she's in trouble. In a good kinda way.

Btw: A buddy of mine who just got started wet-shaving called to let me know he got a compliment on his aftershave from a lovely lady at a local watering hole. Yep, you guessed it. A/V. When he told her what it was she said he had never heard of it. I asked him "how old are the girls at this place!"

 

+1 on the AV.

Thanks to TJ and Doc for turning me on to this one. Can't believe I walked by this magical elixir for years.

Guess I'll have to use it more than once a day, to make up for lost time!

 

DECANT IT AND USE IT AS AN EDC DUDER!!!

Don"t Forget The Musk Too!

 

Yup, mine yelled at me for even looking at it in the store because its "cheap". Then I get yelled at for spending too much on the DR Harris...I can't win!

Finally gave in today and got some 'Velva. Nice A/S, I don't care if it is "the cheap stuff."

 

There are other aftershaves?

:rofl

 

Looking at my bottle of Thayer's Aftershave (Not Toner) and Ogallala Bay Rum aftershave, eshave cucumber or white tea aftershave creams and my Proraso pre/post cream and scratching my head. I thought these were aftershaves? :rofl

 

well, I guess I gotta buy me some Velva this weekend!

 

Don't do it! Step away from the Velva! I think we need an intervention here or the number of Velvanonymous.

 

If you don't like it I will take it off your hands.

 

I never said I didn't like it. I just like to like to create havoc and chaos amongst the Aqua Velveteers.

 

You want your thumb broke? :rofl

 

Too cheesy.:rofl
