AS/ASB suggestions wanted

[esentialize]

I looked through the 31 pages of the AS/ASB reviews on the site and found a couple I may want to try but given shipping costs I wanted to see if the members had any suggestions so I could possibly order a couple or more from the same place and save.

Skin Type: Combination to Oily (so envious of all you Normal skinners)

Currently have: Trumper's Coral Skin food, Thayer's Rose WH, & Thayer's Lavender WH

Scents I like: Rose, Lavender, Lilac, Jasmine, Powder Fresh

Scents I dislike: I can't handle really strong scents. I was born with awful skin and uber-sensitive sinuses. I can't smell musky (aka manly) scents without getting a quick sinus headache which is unfortunate because I would really like to try some manly scents.

Alcohol content: Minimum to none is preferable.

Ideal scent: Rose or Lavender scent with a powdery finish.

Budget: Let's say less than $15 per bottle. This way I can buy more and try more.

Thinking of purchasing: Master Topaz AS, Master Lilac Vegetal, Something from SCS (Lavender ASM, Rose ASM, maybe Dagger ), Something from Mama Bear...would blow my budget though.

Thank you for all replies and suggestions.

Sounds like Booster aftershaves are right up your alley!

Low alcohol & lightly scented.

I would second Booster and throw in a recommendation for Provence Sante A/S.

Try this. Powder scent like you like and no alcohol.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I think I'll try some Boosters and some Provence Sante A/S if I can find it anywhere. I'm assuming you meant for me to try the green tea version. I'll look into the Earth Science one but I would really like for it to be somewhere that I'd order more than one thing to make the shipping worth it.

Just pick up some more Thayers or some Vitamins, bath soap, or whatever to make shipping worth it. Also, it usually sells for like $8 at a lot of sites so even with $5 s&h it's worth it. You also might find it at Whole Foods if there is one nearby you. Boosters are low alcohol as far as barbershop aftershaves are concerned but the level is definitely above what I'd call "minimal".

Took your advice and ordered some Thayer's too. I was running low anyway and I can only find it for $10 or more here in San Antonio. Thanks for the suggestion.

Boosters is alcohol water so I would flush that down the drain. Honest to god I would say Em's Place's aftershave. It has 0 alcohol. Works incredibly! Take a bit to dry but not tacky at all. TSD also has a rather low alcohol AS that is great! If I would reccomend anything it would be Speick AS splash. yes on the alcohol but so many other goodies it will be worth it and the addition of alum is great! No powder scent of course but I think TSD might accomodate. One more time....Boosters is a half arse alcohol water. Not much burn though but its a sub par AS to say the least. YMMV

I sent an email to Joanna at TSD to see if she couldn't suggest something she has available. Thanks for the suggestion.

The scent brings back old memories (just the good ones LOL) smooth feeling and seems to last all day. Best feature? IT'S CHEAP! Found it at the Nugget
