Thread: The First Aftershave

For me: gravity and aspen.

=)

brut was mine it was one of the 2 or 3 my step father used and he taught me to shave in a gas staition restroom of all places and is also a looooong story there but now hes gone to the great beyond but brut is still one of my favorites

Avon Wild Country in a horsehead shaped bottle. My sister gave it to me for my birthday with the promise I give her back the bottle. She collected horsey stuff. I still use it occasionally but have matured into more sophisticated scnets. And she still has the bottle.

I think I used either Canoe or Pinaud Clubman. I'm guessing that would have been around 1995-96?

Some of you older guys have a better memory than me. I am nursing a small hangover, though.

Late 70's, Old Spice if I recall right but might also been Tabac, Denim or Blue Stratos.
Amund.

Old Spice, a bottle of my Dad's that had sat in the bathroom cabinet for as long as I could remember. I'd wanted to use it for as long as I could remember too. Stung like hell.

Good question Obie, how is the cold water no mirror shave going btw?

Its taken 20 mins and a full plate of Dinner to remember it was Blue Stratos!
1983 just left school, first wage packet I bought a safety razor, soap, brush and after shave, I felt so grown up

I was 16 at the time!

I think it was English Leather.

I'm pretty sure it was Old Spice....I probably got it as gift....

It was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure my first aftershave was Old Spice. I know how it is with old favorites; I still keep a bottle of it handy. IIRC English Leather was a favorite also, as was Brut.

Cheers,
Jeff
