Like my dad, I like Aqua Velva and use it often. Occasionally my dad would use Mennen aftershave (now called Skin Bracer), but I have never developed a liking to that for some reason.
English Leather, Old Spice, Jovan Musk for men, assorted others, and now Bod. (that one is a cologne.)
Cigarettes, ivory soap, starched khakis.
Canoe, English Leather, Old Spice and Brut. He Loved that Canoe talcum powder.
+1
God rest his soul, he always smelled of Old Spice. His 78th birthday would be next Monday...appropriately Old Spice Monday!
Was your mother a hamster?
Avon wild country
My pops still rocks Avon Spicy out of a chrome car decanter.
Gasoline, motor oil, and whatever "toxic chemical of the week" he was using working on the Apollo, B-1A, or Space Shuttle.
Old Spice and Vitalis.
My kids can make the same claim.

Brut 33 & Brylcreem
Like most of you here, my dad evolved with his scents. He used English Leather (which I still have about 1/4 of the last bottle he used over 20 years ago). He also moved to a cologne that I have been trying to find. It was called Lavender Water. I can't remember who made it, maybe C&E? But he loved that stuff.
I am restoring his brush too. Once I am finished, I am debating on whether to use it or just let it sit on a shelf in memory of him. Knowing him though, he would want me to use it. I might give it to my son.
