So what are the subtle ways to say it’s a bad aftershave. If it’s solid by the gallon.

Aftershave splashes or mild colognes is a personal experience if you enjoy the scents it offers is the way I look at them. I like to use a aftershave when my shave is done and then completed with a scentless balm. If you can find a aftershave that is inexpensive and you like it + the wife or girlfriend likes it consider it a win win.
I never used aftershaves for many years and now I like the scents and face feel they can offer.

The adjective you are looking for is "agricultural".
Just call it a barbershop classic.
You can use the impolite equivalent of 'Gallic house of ill repute' when you need to diss an expensive AS, EDT or cologne.

My wife’s description of what she thought of Stetson (the phrase itself was lifted from our favorite comedy show):
“Playful but robust, with a hint of a hint of skunk”.

Do you mean it's bad because it's sold by the gallon? Usually the gallons are sold to barber shops since they probably use a lot of it.
Some of the barbershop classic aftershaves like Gabel's or Stephan are sold in gallons (I bought the pint bottles to try them out, though). Overall, I think aftershaves like Gabel's Bay Rum and Sta-Cool are just fine.

I like cheap aftershaves. Especially ones from the mediterannean. They have a proustian effect, taking me back to sun-drenched patios, dusty parks with palm trees and shaded fountains, or crowded bars where the patrons spill out into the night on narrow, cobbled streets. The aroma was a combination of cheap aftershave, tobacco, seafood and sometimes a hint of incense drifting by from the open door of a nearby church where evening mass had just concluded.
Unfortunately, it's the traditional aftershaves which are becoming the missing piece of that unique, accidental accord. Young people don't want to smell like grandpa. I like to do my part to ensure they don't disappear completely!

I help this cause by using them by the gallon.

I am the Will Rogers of aftershaves because, “I have never met an aftershave I didn’t like.”
While I never have gotten along with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal, I consider the fact that it didn’t choose me; not that I didn’t like it.
