Best balm: Nivea (nice scent), Arko Cool (works!!)
Best splash: Reuzel, Suavecito Whiskey Bar

Worst balm: Proraso Wood & Spice (gave me a head ache)
Worst splash: A Belarusian aftershave called "Brutal". Holy **** it smells like an old soviet cafe, literally makes me smell like a tobacco smoker. It's so weird. Very brutal, and nauseating.
 
Best. Clubman SR.

Worst. AV Sport honestly tried to like it but no go. Jovan Musk, scent makes my throat scratchy, dont know what the deal is here exactly.
 

EclipseRedRing

I smell like a Christmas pudding
Best - vintage Faberge Brut (before it became Brut 33), Shulton OS, Yardley Black Label, Yardley Gentleman, Tabac EDC.
Worst - Tabac EDT (awful, smells nothing like Tabac).
 
Best - scent wise it’s Fine AB

Worst- proraso red. I like Sandalwood but oooh I hated this. Piffed it right away. Smells like cheap dollar store cologne.
 
Best quality: Maol Grooming

Best scent: A+E Signature

Worst: TBD (been lucky enough to enjoy all my aftershaves for both quality and scent!)
 
Best - WK King Of Oud
Worst - Lisa’s Isle of Skye AS Balm smelt like an antique shop. I can’t even rate the effectiveness because the “scent” was so awful.
 
Duke Cannon Ice Cold. Not necessarily the Best AS, rather something I picked up on a whim and fell in love with. For years I'd only been using Nivea unscented sensitive skin balm, so Duke started me on a journey of exploration and I'm up to about a dozen different AS.

Best- Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood - Love the scent and the texture of the oils, quite different from balms and splashes.

Worst- nothing yet
