Thread: New Aftershave ideas?

The other scents from the line would be fine though.

I wouldn't worry too much about any CF balm and it's scent. They barely last!!

I use the Original and the Bay Rum. Herself says she really likes the Original. I am almost out of the Bay Rum and plan to try a different one next time. Also use English Leather in cool weather as well as Old Spice on occasion.
Finally, I have a bottle of one called Wet Gun Dog from Orvis that my brother got me. The wife says it makes her physically ill so I almost never use it unless I'm going to be away for a few days.

+1 on the Clubman talc-although not for shaving. It seems to me Old Spice used to make an after shave talc. Anyone remember it?

Well as an update I thought I would tell everyone I have a bottle of T&H 1805 on the way. I will say I looked into Trafalgar. I may get that in the future.

Yea but who wants to spend money on some that smells bad! Any of the other scents in the Castle Forbes line would be a great choice IMO though, and they all have great performance.

I like the 1805 and Trafalgar very much as well, all of the T&H scents are safe bets for me at least.
