    Default 'younger' smell

    So im new to straight razor shaving, had my second shave today. I had a few knicks here and there which i didnt have the first shave but i think i was slightly less cautious....anyway, i got some samples of soaps/creams from thegentlemensquarter.com and tried one of them today. Theyre all really nice but I realized that they all smell kind of 'old'. Now i know straight razor shaving is kind of a throw back so it makes sense to have throw back kinds of creams but does anyone know of any 'younger' smelling stuff. I'm not even sure if it exists or this question will even make sense to anyone. I think i noticed it because some nivea aftershave i have smells manly but at the same time has a 'younger' kind of smell. sorry for all the ' '

    themachine313... You can use unscented soap or cream. Then just use your A/S and your fav cologne for the final chick magnet.

    Contact Colleeen @ TGQ and ask her if she has something not so nostalgic, she is a member here it would be easy to shoot her aPM and see if she's got anything more, er, how do you say it, more hip. Now you kids get off my lawn!!

    You could also try Mama Bear's soaps... she has a lot of bright, fresh scents that don't have that "old man" hint.

    Just go into your local shopping mall and belly up to the counter and the Young girl there will be more that happy to separate you from your cash and sell you some fru -fru after shave with a designer name to attract the chicks.

    You might try the body shop's shave creme. Not all of the "new school" shave creams are ment to be whipped up into lather so be careful what you get.

    Default You got it wrong!

    You got it all wrong you wipper snapper!

    You /want/ to smell like their grandfather. Scent is heavily attatched to memories, most people's memories of their grandparents are from when they were very young and their grandparents were very loving, supportive and spiled them rotten. Go in there triggering undefined memories of feeling loved and cared for and see where that takes you.
