Thread: Which one aftershave for the rest of your life?

Old Spice. I know, corny right? It's hard to find something in Sydney that doesn't smell like lady scents. I'm eager to order some pinaud clubman from overseas though, maybe that'll do it for me more

Right now, I'm thinking English Leather. After all the posts, though, I can see I'm going to have to try the Pinaud Clubman I've been saving.

Are you kidding? When I was in Sydney everything smelled of Australian masculinity - Fosters, BBQ and crocodile tears. Hey, do they make that in an aftershave?

That's a tough question. Probably Sienna, but next week it could be Pinaud Bay Rum. Week after next? Old Spice Original? Glad the question is hypothetical.

L'Occitane Cade for me, although I just ordered some Razorock wax to try.

I use Pinaud Clubman myself and for me, it is a high quality aftershave without the high quality price. Heck, I use Brut too! My brother who is a wet shaver loves his Aqua Velva.

Yeah Clubman, its good stuff, be fore warned: Clubman goes on strong and stays that way like most of the old time scents Clubman is better I think if decanted into a glass bottle. I got some small bottles (~ 6 oz) with the ceramic plug/rubber gasket/wire bail for seizing (stoppers like the Grolsch (sp?) Beer bottles have) and decanted the Clubman into one of those. It does a lot for the stuff, getting it out of those tinkie plastic bottles. Same goes for the hideously maligned Lilac Vegetal. And for what its worth, I like LV. You've just got to give it 20 or 30 minutes to "calm down" after it hits your face.

I don't know why Pinaud can't make a few decent bottles that would be re-fillable from the plastic junk they sell their wares in. I know that I'd buy a few of them. They'd look nice on the counter in the shave den.

Should it REALLY cost me $30 US to ship clubman to Aus? Seems awfully steep...

Man that's robbery!! Here in Maryland, USA, a 6 ounce bottle costs $7.99 USD + 6% sales tax. I guess to send a liquid, the courier charges quite a bit.

Pinaud Clubman for me
