    Just the basic, easily available ones in the U.S. Current production only. If you had to pick just one (yes, just one, just for fun). I cannot pick between Brut Splash and A.V. Musk so me no vote.

    Such a big list to pick from. I have everything but the English Lather. I picked Old Spice.

    I picked Clubman due to its versatality. My other choice on that list would've been AV Musk, which I actually like better, but couldn never wear it on a daily basis or use it as my one and only.

    I've only been using the Clubman for a couple of days now, but I like that it isn't just alchohol and scent. It has the other antibacterial agents as well. It's been a long time since I've used an aftershave, and it's nice the way it feels like my pores contract as it dries.

    Aqua Velva would be a stronger contender for me, if the dispenser were easier to control. Compared to other splashes, it's really difficult for me to regulate the amount of product I get in my palm with it. As a result, Clubman got my vote for both scent and moisturizing properties - surprising from a splash with alcohol.

    For me it Stephan's Bay Rum. I like it and my barber sells me a 12oz bottle for $5!

    Pinuad Clubman original is one of my favorites because I can get it locally...If I could find Pinaud VI Bay Rum locally then it would undoubtedly take first place...:)

    Probably Skin Bracer, if I had no other choice; maybe Brut.
    My wife isn't terribly keen on the majority of "Old Man" scents on that list.

    It was a toss up between Aqua Velva and Pinaud Clubman. I had to go with the AV since I couldn't choose both.

    Sorry, only had that many options and went with what's the most common.

    I screwed on the white flip-top dispenser from a tall Osage Rub-type bottle and it fit fine. Reduces the flow nicely.

    Old Spice for the history, and it just smells good IMHO

    I just started using old spice and like it but if I could only have 1 then it's Aqua Velva Ice Blue for me.

    I would have to go with Pinaud Clubman. It's my favorite regardless of price or availability, the fact that is affordable and easily found is a bonus.

    I've not used any aftershave in the past, (just witch hazel or a balm)
    but about 2 weeks ago I decided to try the Clubman after reading so much about it here.
    I have to admit, I like how it makes my face feel, and I like the smell also.

    On the third day of Clubman, Ms. Wifey looked at me and sniffed, then said, "Old Man".
    I replied, "as usual dear, you are exactly right. I am an old man. Lord, but you've a firm grasp of the obvious."

    I escaped with minor injuries... :eek:
