Good afternoon,
I understand there is a current thread on Clubman Pinaud aftershave and how well it works etc. I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with Clubman's line of products? I see it as a low-cost entry purchase that may aid in my skill development and enjoyment of using straight razors. Would this be a good purchase? Thank you all for your time.
After Shave Lotions & Colognes - Pinaud-Clubman
:shrug:
I'm no expert as I'm very new myself. I bought a bottle of the Clubman original when I first started a little of two months ago. I really enjoy the smell and the feel of it.
I liked it enough to go to straight razor designs and buy a second bottle with a different scent, Vanilla. I like the original a little better but still want to try the bay rum.
It's not very expensive, so I would recommend it. If you don't like it, your out like 7 bucks.
Captenicon...of all the Pinaud products the only one that I have used is the Pinaud Clubman, I like the scent, it is refreshing and has a cooling effect; however unlike me some people find the scent rancid and too strong. See member's comments in the Review section under Aftershaves. To play it safe, buy the 6oz bottle.Quote:

i would suggest you try them all. the only one i dislike is the lilac vegetal, do not know what's in there, but it ain't good!!!
check out thedrugstore.com and amazon for better sale prices and sometimes free shipping
They are great. No complaints.
I agree with 59caddy - the lilac vegetal is gross. Reminds me of a urinal.
Otherwise they're great AS and certainly worth the price. The Clubman original and Bay Rum are pretty similar, and my favorite still is the Vanilla. Definitely worth a shot.
I have a bottle of each kind that they make. I am fond of the classic, vanilla, lilac vegtal, and bay rum. The others are fine too, but those are my favorites. The lilac takes a little time to get use to and imo is a love it or leave it scent. I have found that the CDI rating on the lilac is pretty high.
Just as a side note: booster is pretty good too and very similar to Pinaud. John at shaving essentials makes up a sample pack of booster so you can try all the scents at a reasonable price. He also does TOBs shave cream.

I like it. It comes in a plastic bottle--no chance of it breaking if dropped--which makes it perfect for the gym.
And for those of us with, shall we say, coordination issues. :pQuote:

What's traditional shaving with a straight razor without that beloved plastic bottle of the original Pinaud Clubman in full view?
Somethings are sacred.

I like the Bay Rum, although post splash I've been accused of smelling like a pumpkin pie. :)
Rich,

Awhile back my son and I were standing in line waiting to enter a Brian Setzer concert. Standing in line in front of me was a very attractive 30-something and she kept turning in my direction and taking deep breaths. She made eye contact with me, and then she leaned into me very closely (about 6 inches from my chin) and took a deep breath and just smiled. I gave her a puzzled look ( as did the guy she was in line with!) and she kinda giggled and said, "You remind me of my grandpa". I wasn't quite sure how to take that since I don't think I was even old enough to be her father, much less her grandpa! Not thinking of anything else to say, I said, "Your grandpa must be a good-looking guy!" She laughed and said, " Yes he was! but it's your cologne; it reminds me of my grandpa. When I was little, when he hugged me or when I sat in his lap it felt very safe. He smelled like you!"
I was wearing Pinaud Clubman.
Hello, Driver,
What a sweet story. Thank you for sharing it.
Regards,
Obie
Driver that was one of the best stories yet. LOL
One question though..... Was she hot?
IDK if any one notice the sample page......
Pinaud-Clubman Travel / Sample Sizes - Pinaud-Clubman
I think I'm going to get one of each.... I know I like the Clubman but not sure about the others.
I just figured out the amount $35 shipped to my door USPS Priority mail.
Way to cut to the chase! :tuQuote:

Damn right!....and a Brian Setzer fan as well!!!!
I'm single.... if she hadn't had a date.... who knows? ;-)---
NICE! Maybe next time.....
One never knows! :)
I am a newbie but I have to say that I love the Clubman. I use it every day. It is a classic and the classics work.

i have several different bottles and they all say pinaud/clubman and are all different scents. such as "special reserve", "vanilla", "musk", "classic", "bay rum"Quote:
