So whats your favorite kind of cologne and aftershave that isn't expensive as heck? I like stetson, I got a set of stetson cologne and aftershave 2 2oz bottles for 15 bucks. My mom bought me a set with 1.5 oz bottle of cologne and 1.7 bottle of aftershave of a brand called preferred stock that was on sale for 7 dollars. So whats your favorie cheap cologne.
mine would be old spice pure sport...
Old Spice.
I prefer the older stuff over the newer, but the newer stuff is still well-made...
Oh my... I have an arsenal of cheap aftershaves.
I think what some Spanish guys would call cheap is La Toja, and I've recently gotten some from the Vintage Scent. Of course after shipping and euro conversion and all that good stuff it wound up being about 15 bucks for the bottle, but it's great.
My favorite readily-available domestic cheapy is either Clubman or Aqua Velva Ice Blue. Both smell great and burn like bloody hell, which I love.
Always available with a nice clean scent and an excellent aftershave... Aqua Velva Ice Blue :)
I have a few but the blue never fails !
I like Colorado Sage. $7.00 per bottle, 3 bucks shipping. Fantastic stuff.
I have received more compliments on this aftershave than any other scent i have ever used.
It's called Colorado Sage by Jess Bell. Made by Bonnie Bell Inc. Lakewood, Ohio 44107.
It was very popular in the mid sixties when I was in college. They used to have great ads in the magazines featuring Bogart, Gary Cooper and the Lone Ranger.
It's great stuff.
My favorite is Booster Polar Ice (Menthol/Peppermint). It's only $9.00 for a 14 oz. bottle.
A/S would be the Nivea balm... cologne... well, I like being flirty with the women at The Bay's counter that give me free samplers. :D Usally them being Ralph Lauren's Polo Sport...
How about some vintage Hai Karate or English Leather...found some on ebay a while ago....hahahaha!
Clubman's Classic Vanilla Aftershave.
My wife buys my cologne and has more expensive taste (read: really expensive), so I wear "Chez Bond" by Bond No. 9. I put a link there, but be forewarned, the price is not for the faint of heart.:dropjaw:
Of those that I've had an opportunity to use -- which isn't really a lot -- these two are it...
- Aqua Velva (U.S., cheap)
- Hâttric (European, not so cheap but better than the 3T's cost)
I agree!Quote:

Right now, I gotta go with Skin Bracer AS by Mennen. As for cologne, I have some Vetiver (the sweet kind) that was made by a girl down around Baltimore...excellent stuff, and at this rate, it will last me until I'm dead :p
old spice fresh aftershave classic colonge
Boosters Iced Lime
Depends how cheap. Probably clubman bay rum for me.
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue or Ice Sport, Body Crystal Bay Rum with Lime
Cologne: John Varvatos, L'Occitane Vetiver or Eau de Baux
(The colognes aren't literally "cheap" like the aftershaves are. But at about $45, their scent quality and complexity are far ahead of most under $100. So to me, that's cheap).
That or Pinaud-Clubman (which is one of the few scents where the ladies ask if they can work next to me).Quote:

Cheers

AS-Clubman Pinaud or Booster Iced Lime
I don't think I have any cheap Cologne's. they're all pretty pricey....The Cologne I like now is called Dirty English....or for Cologne's from a by gone era, Lagerfeld....
Vanilla Extract ;)
Nivea a/s and CO bigelow green cologne.
AS: Clubman Vanilla--I really like that stuff!
Cologne: Tabac! (Maybe not cheap, but a 10 oz bottle for $25 is pretty good.)
I think I'm in love with my new cologne. Its old spice, I'v never tried the cologne, Iv tried the deoderant but never cologne, althought its rather cheap, it last longer then all my other colognes. :D I love it!
I'v heard of that dirty english, I think I like it, im pretty sure I smelled it.
Another really good cologne although not cheap is drakkar noir. I don't know if I spelled that right. But yumm its great.
Wife just got me the CO Bigelow Elixir Black ASB for Chistmas and I liked it so much I just got the EDT to match it ($19.5)
My daily aftershave is Hawleywoods No. 9 - 5oz bottle for $11.99
I'm kind of old school though so I think the Bay Rum scent is fantastic!
i guess it depends on your opinion of cheap, a few ounces for about 50 bucks is average..... unless you want to include dollar store stuff like "MUSK" brand.
on a chicks advice i tried Joop! and joop homme aftershave, i think its maybe in the 30-40$ range, and i like it, kinda spicy and traditional scented.
also, the newer dolce and gabana is around 50-60 bucks and it smells alot like tabac to me
i cant remember if it was the original dolce, or the original versace that smelled like a lite spearmint, i havent bought it yet but its been on my mind.... very faint peppermint smell.
Gentlemen,
English Leather and Pinaud's Clubman aftershaves have kept me company for years, parked next to the fancy stuff. To put it another way, they are my aftershave "blankies."
Regards,
Obie
