Today I picked up some Pinaud Clubman Aftershave. Opened the bottle in my vehicle and liked the smell so much, that I put some on right there. Someone in the Forums mentioned that they liked the 'barbershop' smell of this stuff. I agree. The best part is that is was only around $6 (US), or so, at my local Walgreens.
Now to find Proraso pre-shave. The local Target did not carry it. The search is on....

Pete:
Target carries Proraso but it's not in the shaving area. Find the "spa" section of the store. They will have a small area for men's products and it should be there.
Thats true re the proraso. But I just want to add that the clubman scent is great.
I love the Clubman scent. So does my wife, which is convenient.
I work from home 3/4 of the time if I'm not traveling. Every single time I've gone into our office in the last couple month wearing Clubman, I've gotten at least one nice comment from the ladies.
PS Re Proraso. I go into my local Target every couple weeks for a number of purchases. I always make a point to ask customer service or the mgr. where the Proraso shave cream is. They're always out, and that's the point I'm trying to make. I recommend doing the same. They are a company. If there's demand, they'll carry it.
I did the same when I bought my first Clubman a month ago. Opened it up and put it on right in the car and I've been wearing it since. My sister and law said "God, Dave, you smell like a man." I'd been wearing nothing but Old Spice since I was a teenager.
I just got their "Special Resverve" from Classic Shaving today. It is awsome. It has a good calming feel on the face too. MikeB
Try their Hair Tonic it is great to.
I found these guys, and am waiting for my order of pinaud bay rum and vanilla after shave.
Now i just need to grow a mustache so i can wax it. :roflmao

I got the vanilla and the special reserve, they smell really good both of them. My favourite is vanilla though:)

the Warden says it smells like Jade East....I think she's high
I use Pinaud Clubman every day. There is just something about the classic smell that I love. Fortunately, my wife likes it too. Perhaps the best $6 shaving purchase ever.
clubman is the one I get the most comments on. Its like you just left the barber chair.
I like it, but it smells more like witchhazel and cinnamon (cheap?) than real bay rum. I like this stuff, maybe not a bargain, but I like it.
I read this thread yesterday, and this morning I thought I'd go with the Clubman too, 'cause I really like this stuff. Well, this weekend my wife cleaned the bathroom counter, and when she put all my potions, lotions, unguents and balms back in their places, she got the Clubman and the Lilac Vegetal bottles in the wrong spots...now, I like the old vintage glass bottles, but the Clubman and the Vegetal bottles are identical (except for, of course, the labels). Well, you guessed it...I grabbed the wrong bottle and smeared a fistful all over my face....so, I'm pretty much spending MY day smelling like a urinal mint!
...u-g-g-h-h-h ! ! !....

UK prices strike again! You say about $6, right? Sigh...

Are you kidding me... In the US the Pinaud is in the cheap stores It should be about 3 Pounds.
I know, I know. It's part and parcel of living on this fair isle.
Anyway, I happen to be flying to Miami on business next week. Getting a cab to Boca Raton as soon as we land (that's where the office is) and within 24 hours turning around and coming back to UK. My question:
Any of our Floridians know whether Miami airport sells Pinaud Clubman aftershave (or come to that, other interesting shave-related stuff)?
I googled the airport and there appears to be a sundries/drugstore near Gate D , it might carry Clubman. Most drug store chains carry it so you might find one where your office is.

Most of the nationwide drug chains carry it. CVS, Walgreen's, Long's, etc. Wal-Mart is also a good bet.
Good luck!
:rant: I bought my pinaud from this company last year same sky high price .. I mistakenly ordered twice and the people did phone to tell me this , nice of them ? well I was rather taken back with how rude they were ..Quote:

As far as the clubman, sounds like I got to give that a try.
[QUOTE=jmac;97617]Hmmmm, ever notice how much urinal mints look like shaving soap? I sense an awesome prank in the works. NOTE TO SELF: Never buy shaving soap from this guy!!!Quote:

I just picked up a 6 oz. bottle of Pinaud Lilac Vegetal at an antique store for $0.75 I live in the town where CVS is headquartered, so you see allot of those types of goods at antique and discount stores). Anyway, can't say I'm impressed with the smell yet. I'll give it a go tomorrow after my shave and see if it 'sits' better in use. I love the normal Clubman. It's my favorite everyday aftershave.

So i received my pinaud vanilla aftershave today.
Wow is it nice, my wife and daughter agree it is the nicer one out of the bay rum or vanilla. It goes on strong and like alchohol but 10 minutes later it is smooth and subtle, masculine but quiet.
Definitely a re order from me and only 12 bucks.
The bay rum is nice too.
That's BLASPHEMY!Quote:

I too love the PInaud Special Reserve and the clubman but I do not understand how anybody in times gone by would want to wear something that seems a cross between decaying flowers and cat pee!
I guess that is what I determined the top and bottom notes of the lilac vegital! I found it interesting that the urine theme is noted by more than myself.
Were preferences that different back in earlier days? Mike B
For the Uk folk .. just found this site that stocks pinaud also .. I'm gonna order some vanilla :-) to try ..
Still Pricey but they have the regular at £9

I finally manage to get a bottle of this today from cvs for $5.99. I got home home and put some on and my wife said it reminded her of her grandfathers after shave :hmmm: but she likes it none the less..I told her I bought it for me not her and got an evil look from her:eek:
"Gee honey, I know how much you love your grandfather and I bought this stuff specifically to help bring back wonderful, loving memories of such a great man in your life" ;)Quote:

I've been wearing Pinaud Clubman since I was a teenager, maybe even before I started shaving on a regular basis. At one point in my early 20s, it got kind of hard to find, and my mother bought me some Canoe. It's pretty nice too.
Back about seven years ago, I was a member of our local YMCA, and they kept large bottles of Clubman on the sinks in the men's locker room, along with Wildroot Creame Oil and Kreml.

That is so funny because my new Airedale puppy licks me lick crazy when I get home. She seems to reactivate the scent! You would think I had beef gravy on my neck rather than Special Reserve! Mike BQuote:

Got the Pinaud Clubman Aftershave yesterday and it really does remind me of the barbershop my dad used to take me to. Good stuff.
I have to agree. I picked up a bottle of clubman at walgreens yesterday and it smells just like Gene's, the barber shop I used to go to before I started shaving my head.
