    Default Manliest aftershave?

    I dnt use cologne, and unless someone can give a really convincing argument of why I should, then i probably never will.

    Because of this, I need an aftershave that has a really manly smell. The only ones I can smell (aka the only ones at target) dnt smell all that great. Any suggestions?

    I dnt care if its alcohol based or not, just the smell and that it will soothe razor burn.

    Reminds me of an old saying "real men don't eat honey, they chew bees". I think that as this thread develops, we will learn that "manly" leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

    Just for the record, I use after shave balms with essential oils that will wear off very quickly. My favourite eau de parfum is MPH by Washington Tremlett. Arguably a very manly scent.

    Gasoline or kerosene. Two of the manliest aftershaves. I love to splash on some aftershave and go out for a smoke.

    You made me laugh.

    You can't get manlier than that.

    Manly is a vague term in regards to aftershave or cologne. If the women in my life (friends or colleagues) complement me on my choice of fragrance, then that is what I consider manly. I have received complements for Speick Cologne and Musgo Real, and since I like them too, they must be manly. No manly man would argue with this logic.

    Well, in the Arctic they just rub some whale blubber on themselves. You can't get more manly than that..or wait a minute, I think its the women that do that. Well just imagine what the men use.

    +1 on bay rum! I have Captain Smiths and think it smells fairly manly.

    Trumpers spanish leather is very manly, manliness being a particular trait that I try and embrace at all times, I find that this aftershave works very well in that direction.
