Thanked: 1551) Choice of sent is a very personal thing, I suggest you just find one you like a go with it.
2) Why do you care what your wife thinks (see 1. above).

Hi brokeup. This is really a good time of year to go shopping for scents. With the holiday seasons coming, you will find some nice gift boxes with colonges, aftershaves and sometimes aftershave balms, all included in one box. Wal-mart, rite-aid regular deptment stores, will supply mostly less expensive gift boxes. While malls and fragrence outlets will carry more of your higher end, or more expensive scents. The nice thing with fragrance outlets, or higher end department stores like Macy's, Sakks, Bon Ton, is that, the clerks behind the counter will give you sample stripps of various colognes. Then you can smell for youself, what you like. The internet is another fine place to find colognes/AS, but you can't smell them till after the purchase. Most of your straight razor sites carry colongnes/ and A/S. Such as Straight Razor Designes.com Classic Shaving.com. Just click on the top or side advertisement banners and you will find scents there. I understand the wife, and scents thing. My wife likes stetson, I'm not crazy about it, but I wear it to please her. I like Taylor of Old Bond Street- Mr. Taylor's scent of colonge and A/S. She don't, so I wear it just for me. Here's another idea, may be you can have her pick the more expensive colognes, that she likes, and get them for you for the holidays; and you can pick up the cheaper department store scents for yourself? Just and Idea? Now I need my wife to do the swich, to more expensive fragrences, for myself. LOL. Good luck in choosing your favorite scent. This is all part of the fun. STRAIGHT RAZOR 13.

You like Lilac vegetal? I don't know what to say. I think its terrible stuff. I remember years ago barbershops reeked of the stuff. maybe that's why I don't like it. Har Har
Scents are a personal thing so whats eau de skunk to one is perfume to another. Just get what you and the missus likes.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

A woman that buys you Aqua Velva and Bay Rum is a keeper.
Tonto pretty well sums it up for us: "It makes face feel like quiet lake - cool and smooth"

well I didnt know the lone ranger wore aqua velva! it a sure thing as tonto said!...lol Thanks for all the input guys, scent is a personal thing for sure. I liked the way the lilac worked as in the skin bracing quality of it but it is not the most desirable scent in the world. As I get more involved with wet shaving I find my taste are changing towards more quality products as the ritual of shaving is becoming a part of the day now not just a chore! I am starting to appreciate a BBS shave and a nice aftershave and colonge. Funny enough the wife is starting to get into the vintage DE and wants to learn how to use a straight! she is a keeper for sure.
once again thanks for the input!!

I've used Eua Savage for years mostly because I've yet to meet a woman who doesn't like it.
