What's new

Pinaud Clubman

hey found a brand new 16 oz bottle of Clubman country club size at thrift store for what i think was a good price yesterday... thoughts... I am anxious to try it out but haven't shaved yet today.
 
It’s a classic. The scent is iconic—many, including myself, think it defined the American barbershop Fougère scent. It’s definitely in my top five of aftershaves.
 
yeah i keep beating myself up for not buying the other at the same time , they had 2 bottles and they were 3 bucks a piece.....maybe they will still have it when i go back.

Yes and yes! Nothing better ... if you add a few drops of glycerin. In my opinion.

Clubman is a classic! It's the first AS I found that "just did it for me". I love the powdery finish.
I put about 5 - 8 drops of glycerin in a full bottle of Clubman.
 
I like my Clubman cut with witch hazel and a bit of wintergreen isopropyl. Livens it up a bit, enhances the feel and scent.

Yup.
I think of Pinaud Clubman Classic as a grown-up version of Brut.
Or rather that Brut is the punk kid version of Clubman Classic.
 
What does the glycerin do?
Glycerin is a humectant that can be naturally derived from plant oils, or it can also be synthetically produced. As a humectant, glycerin works to moisturize the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin's outer layer.
Other uses:
  • additive for bubble-blowing soap, makes them last longer by thickening the "skin" of the bubble.
  • liquid filler in pressure gauges and compasses to dampen the motion of the needle
  • to create "uberlather" = shaving soap + shaving cream + glycerin. See the shavewiki article: Uberlather
