Yes, I only ever use OS aftershave. A good old fashioned astringent.
I use it quite a bit but only when I am not going out.
For some reason I have a fear OS may be off-putting to some.
This is probably groundless but I have heard negative comments about OS scent and the one wearing the scent: As in "the old fart smells like gramps:.
Like most, it was my first AS back around 1962.

I have been using Pinaud's Clubman aftershave for a few years now. It definitely is an old school, manly scent, and feels very good and bracing going on after a shave. Highly recommend it. I may have to try the Old Spice too, though. My dad always used that, but for some reason I never really tried it.
I still use it from time to time. My favorite was the "Fresh Scent" that they put out a few years ago.
Big fan here. I'm 38 and hope to have access to this for the rest of my days. It's still on the shelf for a reason. It's a bottle of pure nostalgia to me as my Dad used it as well as my Grandads. I have old ones, new ones, shaving cream and soap, the lot. The old school deodorant was great too, if only I could still find the greenish/blueish sticks of that too. The stuff that burned your armpits when you applied too much...Tabac still make one like that and I enjoy that scent too.
I use the aftershave once every two weeks or so. I'd like to try the old recipe some day.
I'm 29, and love the smell of Old spice. The cologne, original deodorant, and the aftershave. I heard the same complaint a little over ten years ago in high school when I first discovered the deodorant. A rather snarky young lady informed me I smelled like an old man. I informed her that she nagged like an old woman. I like to think I won that peeing match.
I'm sure most of your detractors wouldn't even be old enough to shave more than once every 2 weeks. Hardly old enough o have an informed opinion worth any merit. As for the rest...I put the aftershave on for me, not them. So to heck with their opinions.
Dang, forgotten what it smelt like, was it that good? Might have to re-visit.
I love Old Spice. I can still remember my Grandfather slapping it on after using his safety razor (which was a sight to behold being he had only 6 fingers in total for both hands). I still use it on occasion my wife says I smell like an old man wearing it but, she has no problem with me using my favorite Aqua Velva Cool Blue. Go figure.
