    Default After Shaves

    I've been think about getting an after shave but I don't know what would be best after shaving with a straight razor. I would like a nice masculine scent that isn't overpowering, any ideas?

    I quite like Alt Innsbruck, a powdery barbershop scent with tobacco notes. Virginia tobacco apparently,

    I am old fashion and use Old Spice just as my grampa did.

    Vetiver is my wives scent choice for me. I do like the spicy notes of bay rum.

    I try to use aftershaves with a smell that dissipates quickly - or at least matches a cologne. Aqua Velva ice blue and Skin Bracer seem to be the ones that I keep coming back to.

    Here our local climate is dry so I don't care to use anything alcohol based.
    Instead a nice scented aftershave balm does the trick.

    I recently picked up a bottle of Pinaud clubman aftershave and I really like the way it smells. The fiancee really likes the bay rum aftershave that I use.

    Mennen Skin Bracer is also one of my favorites. OTOH, I just ordered Floid Blue which has an amazing scent.
