Aftershave Recommendations

[chinmusic82]

Floid and Proraso are 2 of my favourites. I buy them in the 400ml glass bottles so works out cheap. Nice scents and wife approved as well.

Speick unless $20 is overbudget.

Gents, thanks for all the great recommendations. Seeing a common trend concerning Pinaud. So might have to see about picking some of that up, but if it doesn't happen to be to her liking, I now have a recommended, wife approved list.

All the suggestions are much appreciated!

Give Proraso Red a try. I think it checks all the boxes. I would avoid Pinaud Clubman even though many guys might recommend it. My wife HATES it.

Bootlegger’s EL Dorado…

If Jesus wasn’t rocking a beard, he would be splashing on EL Dorado after his shave.

It meets your three criteria;

1. It exudes ‘Manliness’.

2. Not only will your wife approve, she might not be able to keep her hands off of you.

3. It’s very easy to make and very cost efficient to make and have a whole lot of.

Just looked up the concoction for this. Sounds interesting and I may have to try it sometime.

If you do, you might just think; “where has this been all of my life?”

Apologies if this is posted somewhere already. Looking for aftershave recommendations that hits the following:
1) Manly smelling
2) wife approved
3) is preferably cheap

I personally enjoy Aqua Velva, Brut, Old Spice, etc. due to price and scent. I do have a bottle of Captain's Choice which I enjoy, but I conserve it as much as I can.

So, I'm looking for a daily driver that comes close to checking all three boxes as possible.

What is your budget AS that your wife likes?

Thanks in advance.

Stetson. Checks all three boxes. And don't be surprised if women other than your wife compliment you on your scent. Just sayin'.

Give clubman coachman a shot. Some think it's milder than original Pinaud but I think the opposite. Classic man scent

Coachman appeals better to me than original Clubman...spicier and not so powdery on drydown.

Exactly!

Thanks so much for continued recommendations guys. Haven't pulled the trigger on anything just yet, but hoping to soon.

Clubman special reserve is pretty good if you like a Aramis/Quorum Leather style aftershave.

I'm not sure if I can describe it accurately, but I'll try.

It's like you just came back fresh and clean from the barbershop. I get a mildly sweet tonka bean, with some hints of citrus and mint. There is something like clover or sweet grass in there, too. It's not real strong, but persists for an hour or so.

Thank you for the great writeup, NorthernSoul! Cheers!

Pinaud Clubman is a classic and is inexpensive. My wife likes their Lilac Vegetal, but you must be one of the chosen.

+2! Clubman for sure! For me it is the classic American barbershop scent!

I remember the barber asking if I wanted Clubman or Lilac Vegetal. Good memories!
