Thread: Used Pinald Clubman After Shave For The First Time Today!

Hey Guys,

As the title states today was my 1st try with Clubman, and I have to say I think I like it! It reminds me of the smell my dad, grandfather and other guys their age had back in the '70's when I was a kid. I'm steady building my AS collection - Clubman and C.O. Bigelow Bay Rum so far, and I've got some Proraso coming! I'll pick up some Aqua Velva from the drug store the next time I'm in, but I still can't do Brut and Old Spice...

I was telling my wife yesterday about how I find it humerous that I'm freaking out to go to CVS and Walgreen's to buy some $7.00 after shave in one breath and then telling her about the $10,000.00 watch or $500.00 shoes I want! We've got to cut corners where we can!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Moonshine,

Congrats on finding a nice fragrance you can live with.

Pinaud makes several nice, inexpensive aftershaves. Clubman, which is a less expensive version of Dana's Canoe, is probably their best known, but they also make a respectable bay rum that several SRP members like too.

You may be a bit disappointed with the Proraso. Its nice and cooling after a shave, but I don't really find it anything to rave about.

It's good stuff. I would highly recommend trying Ogallala. Unless I'm very much mistaken, it will make a very welcome addition to your collectionl

+1 on the clubman, here lately i have been using that pretty much exclusivly, reminds me of my father. i cant do the aqua velva or old spice either, and all those new scents(axe, and hollister) those seem to be for the much younger crowd, no offense to anyone that likes them, but my 11 yo son wears axe, why i dont know.

hahaha.. i remember when i was 11.. i wore pierre cardin.. a gift set from my grandmother.

now i regularly sport the clubman.. the original, bay rum, and also the reserve.. the old spice and aqua velva are also in the rotation.. along with english leather, jovan sex appeal, and pashana.

Gentlemen:

Pinaud's Clubman is way of life.

A philosophy.

An invitation to knock on heaven's gate.

It's the air from an old barbershop where everything with the world was right and life was sweet.

Moonshine, my good man, welcome to the cozy world of Pinaud's Clubman.

Regards,

Obie

It's all in the marketing.

old spice is probably one of my favorite scents lol, although after getting a sample of mandom from a member here that is a close second.

clubman is up there on the list as well, actually i think it was the first aftershave i used when i started straight shaving, and i have never been with out it since, highly recommended

Any of you fellows tried the Special Reserve? I found some at the local barber supply shop and figured I'd give it a go. A bit pricey compared to the usual 6 bucks. It has a very distinct scent. If you've tried it and can help me describe the scent I'd appreciate it.

i have the special reserve in my rotation.. kinda a smokey leather scent.. reminds me of vintage leather bound library books... it's very nice.. but like the name says.. i have to keep it in my "special reserve".. not really something you can wear everyday... or that often for that matter.
