What AS could you absolutely not live without? I don't care if this is not fair just pick one. Gotta be Speick balm here.
I'm going to cheat and pick two: 1. TSD aftershave milk -- usually unscented since I like to wear cologne, but occasionally I also reach for bourbon vanilla since since it's the best bourbon vanilla I've ever smelled 2. In lieu of TSD milk, Thayer's witch hazel
If I could only have one...I'd have to play it safe and go with one that I know would always work for me: Nivea sensitive skin aftershave balm.
Commercial ones, definitely the Nivea Men Sensitive. But my homemade Alcohol/WH splash kicks its behind so I'll choose that.
Speick spalsh.. The best imho since its got all-round skin care qualities as wellas a pleasent scent!
I usually use an aftershave splash and a balm =) if I have to chose I would chose Nivea original aftershave balm but it would be hard to give up Old spice whitewater aftershave splash
I have yet to explore a vast number of AS but for now I would go with the RazoRock Problem Solver Lime Scent AS Splash - Leaves my face with a very fresh and clean feeling. It is full of essential oils.
I'm gathering the ingredients for a batch of bay rum. I'm thinking it's a perfect candidate for gifts. And in response to the OP, that's like trying to name your favorite child.
Fall: Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum Winter: Old Spice Spring: Aqua Velva Ice Blue Summer: The Mighty O (Osage Rub) Special Occasion: Brut Revolution (Red Bottle) - pretty much my all time favorite but only use it sparingly because it's getting increasingly harder to find.
There are two actually but in deference to the OP I'll pick Aqua Velva (Old Spice is the other). I absolutely detest AS's that announce my presence before I get within fifty yards of a location so Clubman and all the other Cologne type AS's are out.
