Thread: CLUBMAN PINAUD set

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

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.

After Shave Lotions & Colognes - Pinaud-Clubman

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.

I picked up a bottle of the Bay Rum from my local Walgreens. I like it. It has a nice scent and gives a warming feeling. I would recommend it.

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.

After Shave Lotions & Colognes - Pinaud-Clubman

captenicon,

Accurately speaking the name of the cologne/aftershave is "Pinaud Clubman." The maker is Pinaud...The scent is Clubman. The Clubman scent is a well-made, cheaper version of the more expensive "Canoe" cologne by Dana which was popular in the 1960s.

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.
