As much as I love clubman special reserve I have to go with the original Nivea aftershave balm. It was the first aftershave I ever bought and I have been using it ever since. The main reason for choosing this is my wife. She once said something smelt nice. I asked what she meant and she said "it smells of you". It was the nivea aftershave she could smell, that the scent she associates with me, plus I love it too.
I see some of you consider aftershave splash & aftershave balm as the same thing. I consider them to be different and read the question as "aftershave splash". My #1 is Clubman, love the barbershop scent. My #1 ASB is Nivea Sensitive (unscented) which is fantastic. I often pair them both together in winter months when I also need some moisturizing..............
As an every dayer I love tabac a/s lotion. I have some others that I might pick over scent, but as an all rounder, and value then tabac.
The wording here is of the utmost importance. You are most fortunate Slow Joe. My wife commented on my first few applications of Clubman. I believe the exact words were, "you reek of it".
I have been using my home made AS splash with fairly good results. My only mistake was to add too much menthol. The cooling sensation lasts for 30 minutes! Fortunately it's summer down here
I did the same mistake with my first batch. It had so much menthol it really hurt, so I didn't use much of it. I poured it out.
It is very tough to pick just one. I think I'll have to go with Floid Blue. But with honorable mentions to: TSD Aftershave Milk (w/menthol) Captain's Choice Bay Rum Shea Moisture Tea Tree Aftershave Barrister & Mann Fougere Classique
