Old school after shave splash
- Thread starter Michael W

For my 18th birthday (31 Dec 1969) my high school sweetheart gave me an A/S from a Louisville, KY department store.
The A/S was green in color and had a minty scent.
The bottle resembled a chemistry lab flask. It had a large bulb shaped bottom and tall neck with a silver colored screw on cap.
The bottle was in a styro-foam package with no label or any naming information.

I smell like a Christmas pudding
I suggest a few ‘old school‘ options:
Pinaud (anything, but especially clubman)
Floid (multiple options)
Speick
Pitralon (especially the classic)
La Toja
That should get you started!!

Of all the aftershaves tried Aqua Velva and Skin Bracer are to me two of the most masculine and pleasing scents ever. Of the two skin Bracer feels better on my skin. I also recently tried out Speik and I love that as well. Although fleeting it manages to be floral and masculine simultaneously. Clubman makes my skin feel all soft and I love the old school barber, oak moss smell. However my girlfriend will kick me out of the room.

What's more old school than is Old Spice?
I probably still have half a small glass bottle of AV. Love the scent - hate how long it lasts on my face. I used AV in the 60s, but it just lasts too long for me these days. I've even tried diluting it with 4 parts wh, but it's still too strong for me old mug.
Oak moss is old school.
Consul plyn po goleniu has oak moss.

My top pics personally would be AV Musk/Blue, Tabac and Speick. If you have not tried Spieck you are doing yourself a disservice my friend.

I'll have to give it a try my friend what would you say the scent reminds you of
Lavender straight away but it has this amazing smell i can't quite describe (assuming the speick plant) kinda spicy in a sense with some citrus notes to it. Love the tallowed soap, cream is amazing as well. I even use their deodorant and bar soap (my absolute favorite bar soap hands down the soapest soap)
I consider most aftershave splashes, modern and vintage that contain alcohol and glycerin to be the 'old school' way of producing aftershave.
Isn't it amazing how many of the things we use in shaving are YMMV? Razors. Soaps. Blades. Aftershaves. Techniques. Opinions. And more.
YMMV

Alt Innsbruck is as old school as it gets. It comes in a glass bottle which alone ranks it above the popular choices clubman, Aqua velva, brut etc
