Aah, you're in the Northwest side of town, I was thinking of the Super Walmart further south, between D.I. & Flamingo or try the W. Tropical Pkwy one, I'm over by 215 & Cheyenne.

We actually just moved to Charleston/215 a year ago. Lived on the other side(always close to Sunset park) for 38 years. Once I get two miles from my house, I still don't know my way around over here.
That's about what I figured. Too bad, although I still use & enjoy it...I used it this morning actually.
This thread inspired me to pick up a bottle of the AV Classic Ice Blue. I had to run to Walmart for Groom and Clean and a styptic pencil anyway. I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow...
Used it today. Hadn't used it in months for some reason. Delightful stuff.
I finally broke down yesterday and dropped $3.79 to grab some. Haha. I used it this morning and was thinking, "I know this scent... a cologne from back in the day." Came and read this thread, and there you have it... Cool Water. My dad used to get Cool Water aftershave every year for Christmas. He may still use it. It also reminds me a lot of Jermyn Street, but more aquatic or something.
I got virtually no menthol freeze from it, but oh well. I've got Floid Vigoroso for that if I really need it.

Bumping this one up as I tried some AV Ice Sport this morning. Overall, better than I was expecting. It seems my Skin Bracer Original by Mennen has competition now. It's a fresh and aquatic type scent. There's something else in there that I can't put my finger on... I will need to decant this one in a glass bottle today and leave it alone for a few weeks to see how it compares. First impressions, very nice. Enough to make me go : I should hold on the imported AS for now and try the Aqua Velva products.
I already had a bottle. But saw it at a neighborhood "dollar" type store for $2.99. Next time I am I will take a pic
they also had Nevia balm but I had that too. This store was limited but very de shave friendly.

Gonna have to try the whole Aqua velva line.

Will try this on a tropical island. NOT! In my near west side of town area. Just incase i might get lucky
Good stuff, on of my favorites!
To my nose, Aqua Velva sport and Proraso Splash smell very similar. Both are great.
I've always liked the Ice Sport. Until I saw it recently, I thought they had stopped making it a few years ago...
I can't find it anywhere except small grocery stores.
Amazon.com has it. Around Chicago, I can only find it in Dominicks and they all seem to be on the verge of closing lately.
Me neither. It hasn't been available locally for about 5 years now.
AVIS was one of only three splashes that I liked (the other two being Old Spice Fresh Scent and Taylors No. 74 Victorian Lime).
Trumper Lime Skin Food is my default aftershave (with Clinique Post Shave Healer being a distant second).
Thanks,
Mike

I just picked up a bottle at Winn Dixie (grocery store).
Are the bottles bigger in Canada? People have claimed the bottles are 200ml while I have only seen 103ml here.
I can get some Aqua Velva in the 103ml and 200ml sometimes... I think there are some 250ml also... I would need to check.
To me it smells exactly like Polo Sport edT Anyone else??
Anyone else??
