Thread: Splash aftershaves

Some of my favs are Tabac (if you like the scent), Dominica or Royall Bay Rum - they play well with others, DR Harris Sandalwood a/s, Speick, Alt Innsbruck, Italian Floid, Old Spice, and Aqua Velva. What scents do you like?

My favorites are Musco Real, Speick, Dr Harris Sandalwood, Italian Floid,

Master Bay Rum, Tabac, LaToja, all Thayers!

Well I guess I'm anything but effete. I like the cheap drugstore stuff, i.e., all the Clubman/Pinaud products (especially their original and Bay Rum), Mennon, Aqua Velva and Old Spice. And I don't splash in on either, I literally slap in on. Simulates circulation in the face and it feels so good when I stop.

effete? I guess it doesn't mean what I thought it was.

I'm not sure what I like, well actually, I tried some of the soaps from TGQ. And my favorite smell was the Toasted Almond. I didn't like the Dessert Iron wood very much at all.

I say this kindly. We all know you don't like the usage of the word splash. Please stop hijacking threads about it. It's common usage, and isn't going to go away. This isn't the anti-splash forums. If you would like, I'll register a domain for you. But let's put the focus back on shaving here.

Thanks

If I were selecting for myself, I would choose Spanish Leather aftershave by Trumper, Woods of Windsor (by Woods of Windsor), No. 74 Victoria Lime by Taylor of Old Bond Street, and No. 6 Aftershave (supposedly designed for our great president George Washington) by Caswell-Massey. I also will never be without Truefitt & Hill's Spanish Leather, though that's a cologne and I don't think it comes in aftershave.

Premium Witch Hazel : Thayers Natural Remedies, Since 1847

which one are you talkin about?

Have you ever tried the toner instead of the AS?

I finish my shaving ritual with Thayer's Lemon followed by my favorite: Proraso Splash...I also like Pinaud and Dominica Bay Rum. So many aftershaves so little time.

I saw that poraso aftershave splash, was tempted to pick that one up.

How would you describe the scent of the aftershave? I like the subtle soapy clean smell of their shave cream.

Hello, Stdrb27:

This is the one to which I refer. It is fabulous stuff. I pour a small amount of it in my hand and apply it to my Hollywood face. I don't use it as an aftershave; rather, as an after the shave astringent — after the warm water rinse. Then I follow it with aftershave balm and finally the standard aftershave.
