    I think one thing I like about all the choices presented.. Is they tend to be subtle in scent even up close. I was standing next to a guy the other day and I'm not sure what he had on and it didn't smell bad, but up close (2' away) it was "VERY" noticeable and somewhat overpowering...:(

    I would like to vote other. I've been a one trick pony when it comes to aftershave. Superior 70 Bay Rum. I pay $2.25 a bottle at the bodega across the street from work.

    I'm guessing that I've used Old Spice over 90% of the times I've wet shaved since 1979. I expect when I get through the glut of aftershaves I've purchased since I re-joined the DE shaving group, I'll go back to Old Spice 90%+ of the time. FWIW - finished a bottle of Captain's Choice Lime this morning. Purchased it in March.

    Bristle Me Insufficient

    A mistake which would likely yield much more than minor injury.

    "BOLD" = Foolish?

    Nah
    She's come to expect the occasional barb.
    Of all her admirable traits, I enjoy most her ability to take a "quick jab".

    and then respond with a solid right hook!:duel:

    Maybe he overdid his cologne?

    You said it didn't smell bad so that eliminates AXE...

    I've never been able to put my finger on it but there's something in Clubman that's cloying to the point of almost gag-inducing. Just my personal reaction...I put on some old (and I mean OLD) O.S. this morning and it's giving me a mild headache. Smells good but I may have to ditch it.

    Let me clarify...it's not the overall scent of Clubman itself that I dislike, it's some component of the scent that I can't identify. At least it doesn't make me sneeze the way some do.

    I've heard others say the same thing about Brut. There's no bigger YMMV than individual biochemistry!
