    Default Barber shop scent

    If you really want the full affect get yourself some Jeris hair tonic to use also. A hot shower, a BBS shave, Jeris and original Clubman. Gentlemen, it doesn't get much better.

I cant stop using it, and the wife says that I smell of baby powder. I think it's great old timey stuff. And dude, it's six bucks. I am not a cheap skate by any means, but, it smells good, and feels good. I am 37, and the only risk is smelling like a grandpa; but, this is not the case at all. Buy some, if you hate it throw it out. Yeah splash some on and remember when barber shops were still around.
    you are so right...i am 50 and remember a small 4 chair barbershop in the town i grew up in.. when i started straight shaving and found the clubman/pinaud aftershaves, it was like a walk back in time..i love the smell and the memories.....

    I have to say ive read all the threads on this and have realy enjoyed them. im most surprised that im not alone in the clubman/pinaud AS bringing back fond memeries of the past. i have just recently started to shave with a straight razor and went to Right Aid where i live to get a bottle of AS and picked up the clubman/pinaud original. i had no sooner opened the bottle and instantly got a flashback to every haircut ive ever recieved on any Navy, Marine, or Airforce base ive ever been on. liked it so much...i went back and bought an extra bottle for traveling.

    Is there a way to tame the strength of the scent? Maybe mix it with witchhazel? I liked it the few times I used it but it was just overpowering.

    You might try using less. Or mixing it with water or alcohol. Witch hazel has its own odor which I'm not sure would work together with the Clubman.

    which scent are you referring to? i think all of them take time to get used to.
    i do not notice them after about 20-30 mins after putting them on...my wife says they "calm" down and smell great...

    And to clarify, I also meant the original scent in my reply; I haven't tried the others. I love the original so much I get any Pinaud Clubman original-scent product I see: aftershave, hair gel (which, besides just liking the whole line, I find to work better than anything else I've used with such hair as I have left), even the talc and styptic pencil.
