Thread: confusion, or i am just daft.

What is the difference between aftershave, cologne, edt etc. I know (i think) that cologne and edt are similar, but one is stronger / more concentrated. Thanks in advance

For me:

aftershave - a facefull
cologne - three drops

aftershave has 1-2% essential oils and has skin healing, toning properties in. cologne has 2-4% oils so is cheaper but doesnt last as long. edt has 4-8% oils so has better sillage and longevity. if you use edt after shaving the amount of oils will more likely make your skin blotchy

also you are definitely daft

After an impromptu experement today I found out that A/S doesn't sting anywhere near as much as cologne. I also discovered that I really don't like tabac that much, after nearly drowning myself with a tester of it, but I do like cussons original, smells kind of soapy and clean, its a bit like a cleaner old spice.

his brollies could put a lot of men on here to shame they're so impressive. you're the one being taught how to be a man by a 23 year old

i think some a/s are less stingy than others though. ogallallalalalal burns the hell out of me. im currently using james bronnley, a clean, soapy very old fashioned scent.

Its not my fault, I never had a father figure in my life, but that I were young again, you could have adopted me, and taught me the ways of MAN. Alas I shall have to sit in my room and feel inadequate.

funny you should say that, yesterday i was thinking about how my dad shaved who died when i was 18 before i had to shave. i always remember him leaving for work with small patches of toilet roll on his face and neck naturally glued on using his own blood. i would of loved to of got my dad his first cut throat and taught my dad how to be a man
