Aftershave for son
- Thread starter Criss
- Start date
Let get the kid started on the right foot. Gotta go Clubman IMO . Lime sec is a great light Clubman
Gillette Coolwave is an updated classic, perfect for a young man. You might also consider the new Nivea Energy splash.
Something pleasant that doesn't have a burn. Maybe a light balm like Nivea or Afta to help soothe until he gets his technique down.
Go to your local Bed Bath & Beyond and get the 4711 splash. Nice citrus scent that doesn't over do it.
Aqua Velva Ice Sport if youre going for something inexpensive. Great young person scent.
My Dad was always my hero. I wore and still do (once or twice a week) what he wore.
AquaVelva.
Stuff I've recently tried-
Lucky Tiger! No burn, soothing and mild, fleeting scent. Maybe the best razor burn splash I've ever used.
Florida Water, it'll burn a bit and leave him with a smelling like a candy fireball.
Dominica Bay Rum with lime, He just must learn about Bay Rums!
Clubman, cus it's been around forever, smelling it just brings the 60's and 70's to my mind.

For my 12 year old, it will most likely be none.

I would perhaps suggest making a father & son shopping trip to find the answer. Maybe your boy will surprise you in his choice. I have a boy that's going to be nearing shaving age soon as well and I figure I'll let him make his own selection. Plus if he chooses something I like as well I can steal some of his!!
C'mon guys! Didn't we all start out with trying Dad's Old Spice, Skin Bracer or Aqua Velva?
For a 12 year old, I would avoid splashes or anything with alcohol, and anything that we like or think is nostalgic . . . he's 12.
From a brick and mortar you really cant beat Nivea products. Go with the Replenishing Balm if he wants a more masculine cologne scent or the Sensitive Balm if he wants something more mild. Both are full of good stuff for your skin and his friends wont rag on him for smelling like "an old man" AKA us.
Also, as said above, if he likes the smell or does want to try a splash, then pick up the Nivea Energy Splash. It does burn a little, but certainly not bad, and not near what some of us use.

aqua velva...little burn...lota cool
I would also recommend Nivea AS balm. Nice, fleeting scent and it works very well. Plus it is inexpensive.
