    Default Double you TEE eff!

    OK, so tax time is here and it's the time I go silly and spend a grand or two on little old me. Part of the splurge is, of course, soaps, creams and aftershaves (maybe a kamisori??, Maybe a French frameback?) PS I'm open to being lured.

    I want an aftershave that will make me go "Double you TEE eff!" (if you get my drift) but in a GOOD way.

    I want one that's STRONG (but nice) like me, really...

    Maybe a bay rummy sort of flavour? Though I did like T&F Trafalgar (that was very double you tee effy)...

    I want an aftershave that's more vigoroso than Floïd Vigoroso.

    I AM ordering some 'Snakebite' from the link below but also want other ideas.

    Oh, it's got to be long LASTING too, overpowering, nice, and long LASTING (like me)...

    well Carl ,, I don't know if you consider this to be overpowering ,, but I find that AQUA VELVA ICE BLUE has a really nice burn and has some pretty good staying power and cheap I use it and Pinuad Clubman at work , because I like them but my wife is more into the higher end stuff , so I keep the, out here,, but Aqua is my fav good luck with the new purchases tc

    Morning Carl. I guess an obvious choice for staying power is dr Harris sandalwood? It's the kindest on my skin half a day later too!

    oooh yes. I often feel I am washing it off in the shower the next morning. I am not one of these people who knows ingredient lists inside out, but someone mentioned it had glycerine in it, or something like that, and that fits with a "oily", but in a nice way, sensation that lasts the day.

    I don't know man! I have tried to find an aftershave that'll last all day that's all in my face and s**t - but I can't find one that I liked other than:

    Welcome to Alcolado Glacial

    And even that is to only be used in the summer! Truth be told, I think the only reason I even like it is because that's the stuff my dad wore the whole time we lived in Curacao.

    Oddly enough, I got/get the most compliments from EJ's Sea Buckthorn. Love the stuff myself - in the winter. Bogs down in the heat.

    Were I in for a couple of grand - I would buy a rock !

    Good luck!

    why not get a more neutral aftershave, but get a (or some) nice EDT or cologne, they tend to be stronger so seem to have more staying power.

    Actually, the D R Harris Sandalwood does sound good:

    Plenty of LeCoulter razors around and the blade may be changed out. The ones I have used ar very pleasant shavers.

    I want an aftershave that will make me go "Double you TEE eff!" (if you get my drift) but in a GOOD way.
