Favorite Cheap Aftershaves?

[Deltaboy]

Good stuff I just grabbed a new bottle of Brut!

Vi-Jon Spice and Mennen Skin Bracer. And, for a few dollars more, Clubman.

In the UK you’d go a long way to beat the two Superdrug AS splashes - Forest Fresh and Sierran Breeze. Both punch above their very slender weight of £2.49 a bottle or £4 for two.

Always use Brut & Old Spice, I wouldn't pay the nonsensical prices for most modern aftershaves, Brut was good enough for Henry Cooper & Kevin Keegan in the Seventies! so good enough for me now.

I've got some Old Spice coming from india. Pretty well the first AS / cologne I've bought in 30 yrs. No can do scents in medical world. First shaving related item my wife thought was a good idea.

I finally got to try the Arko aftershave. I am very pleased with it. This is a brand new product from Arko. It is very refreshing with a nice mild scent. It has a sort of citrus scent to it. No menthol that I can detect which is good because I am not a big fan of menthol.
I'm not good at describing scents but I can say I really like this one and for the price it's a real bargain. This stuff is really nice. Only $6.00 on Amazon.

I have the cool in the longer plastic bottle.
It is a bit too potent for me.

Blue Stratos. 4 uk pounds from Savers chemist.

Smells really good but used to dry my face out no end!

Now I have tried adding glycerin separately to aftershaves I may pick some up.

Have you ever tried pinaud citrus musk?

 

[Cearball]

I am a fan of cheap aftershaves.


Best for scent longevity.

Old spice (Indian or European)
Gillette cool wave
Pinaud citrus musk


Best short lived scents.

Pinaud bay rum
AV ice blue
Epsilon Mediterranean blue (better than floid blue & AV IMO better staying power to!)
Proraso green


Honourable mentions

Nivea cooling balm
AV Musk (good longevity)
Skin bracer (good longevity)
Proraso sandalwood
Pinaud whiskey woods
Ogallala bay rum double strength (good longevity)

Blue Stratos, Brut and Old Spice.
Aqua Velva, but only available in continental Europe.

I work in the medical world so no scent at work. I like a lightly scented AS that fades fairly quick. Osage rub is good for that. On days off I've tried Old Spice from India which is nice, and fairly cheap. I've got some Clubman citrus musk on order from amazon to try. I haven't invested a lot of money in an expensive AS because I really can't use it that often.

Try 4711. Great fragrance, but very fleeting. Splash it on, feel great, and in 20 minutes it is gone.

4711 itself is a cologne. For an AS, I mix a pint of witch hazel with a half-pint of 4711, add about an ounce of glycerine and I'm good to go. Smells great going on (the 4711 kills the WH stink), and 20 minutes later, I can spray on my frag of the day without conflict. (There's nothing special about these proportions. Experiment all you want. Some people have advised me to add aloe, which at some point, I might.) Of course, you could just use it straight.

4711 is pretty economical, too. Fragrancenet.com often has 800 ml (!) bottles of the stuff on sale for about $30.
