Thread: Old Spice Aftershave | Axe Aftershave

Hello gentlemen,

Was doing some research on aftershaves, was looking at the Old Spice and Axe aftershaves, I haven't used either of them so I came here to see if anyone else has used them. I have seen the prices.. Old Spice more expensive, Axe not so expensive. Does price effect their performence? To those people that have used these aftershaves please let me know what you think, and which one is worth more getting.

Thank You.

I've never used Axe, but Old Spice is a tradition for generations. I use it about once a week.

I'm a sucker for tradition, so Old Spice it is for me as well. I'm not sure how much it costs where you live, but here it's well under $10 IIRC.

Forget that whole "women will attack you for wearing Axe" nonsense. Axe makes you smell like a 13 year old boy in line for a Justin Beiber concert hoping some girl will bump into your genitals just so you can say you got some "play". (Is the word 'play' still in use? Oh well...) However, Old Spice is a traditional manly scent. It's been used by generations of men and it has a lot more sophistication in scent than something like Axe.

Spend the extra couple bucks. You'll be glad you did.

Justin beiber concert, I just pisst myself

And there is nothing wrong with old spice, there is nothing like smelling like you slept in a bed of carrot cake all night.

I haven't tried Axe and don't intend to try it.

I use Old Spice Pure Sport once in a while. I like it and so does the wife.
I prefer the Pure Sport to Classic Old Spice.

+1 for old spice, i have not smelled anything by axe that smells anywhere near good.

You beat me to it! I second staying away from axe LOL

You could even try some shave oil as an after shave...I use Cromwell and Cruthers and LOVE it!

One of the biggest myths of after shaves, in my opinion, is that it needs to say aftershave on the bottle

I had an old bottle of old spice that I began using religiously until it was gone. Just bought a new one, classic scent, and it smells awful. Nothing like the old bottle. Anybody know about a change in their chemistry over the last few years?

Nobody here likes the Dark Temptation Chocolate Axe smell? I like it, but I think Old Spice is definetly the way to go here gents. "Smell like a man, man." Hehe
