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.
