Floid vigoroso for me. I have 2 400ml bottles and 2 100ml bottles stocked up.
Is there any aftershave you stock up on?

Remember to forget me!
I currently have two bottles of Superdrug Forest Fresh, as there was a deal on where the second was half price. I'd probably do the same with Nivea Sensitive if I saw a similar deal.
My wife says I have quite the stash of Brut!
Speick and Lucky Tiger. Always make sure to have reserves of those two. If I could find a deal on Ogalalla I would stock up on that too.
I stock up on Chatillon Lux, Maol Grooming and Declaration Grooming aftershaves. I've got two or three bottles of many of them.
I have multiples of Fine American Blend and I bought the 7oz jug of PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum. I also refill my Proraso Red from the barber size bottle.

Stirling Executive Man. I'll never be without multiple bottles by choice.

Proraso green splash is always in my den.
Floris ASB when I get it on sale
LOL the only A/S I have more than one of is my alum block because I needed to get over a free shipping threshold and so bought two.
I feel like an under achiever.

Don't people complain that today's old spice is different from how it used to smell? I seem to remember guys going to Family Dollar to buy a knockoff because it smelled more like "Old Spice" than Old Spice did about a decade ago. Because a product will always be here doesn't mean the product you like will always be here.
Swiss Pitralon. I travel to Switzerland to visit my wife's relatives every couple of years. I always come home with half a suitcase full of Pitralon. I've still got 4 or 5 bottles in my stash. It's hard to find and expensive here in the U.S. It's cheap and readily available in Switzerland.
Well, SOL it smells the same to me and I’ve used it for 50 years or more. The only significant difference I’ve noticed is that is much tamer than the older stuff and I think it is much better for it. I had to drive with a guy from Atlanta to Birmingham back in the 70’s and thought I was going to suffocate before we got out of the car. It is much more civilized now but the scent is the same.

I just stocked up on Barrister and Mann Soft Heart series unscented. Three bottles.
No duplicates yet in my splashes, but I'll buy all of the 9 or 10 I have again when they run out. Currently my only duplicate is Nivea Sensitive A/S balm.
I have a number of different splashes to add to my stock before I start contemplating duplicates.

I only use distilled Witchhazel as a splash on after shaving - not the greatest fragrance, but it does do wonders on settling the skin immediately after shaving.
Other than that, i had started using (by chance) the excellent Nivea sensitive post shave balm before it became so popular - i knew it was something special when it was bought to my attention that ladies on the Internet were raving about using it as an amazing face cream, outperforming ones costing ten times as much.
Its often half recommended price in supermarkets here, so i can get a bottle for £3 or £4 - total no brainier really -fantastic the way it just soaks into the skin and goes to work immediately.
Fragrance wise, the one i have always liked for a night out (remember them ?) is Issey Miyake aftershave lotion and the accompanying edt and shower gels etc

While I've only used a few balms and splashes so far most don't persist for very long. I'd like to find a subtle pleasant "keeper" scent but I am *terrified* of being that guy.
Proraso red & green (Barber Bottles)
Floid Vigoroso (Barber Bottle)
Pitralon Swiss and German
Old Spice (Indian)
I feel fortunate, as being in the UK, the European A/S's that I enjoy are easy to secure and are relatively inexpensive, but not as inexpensive as they are in their country of manufacture. I also enjoy Speick, Pashana and Ralon aftershaves but have not stocked up on these yet, rather I am awaiting the opportunity to purchase and stock-up when in-country, although with COVID that may not happen anytime soon. I know what I like now; none of them are what I would call boutique or luxury aftershaves, and would rather have multiples of these products in case they go out of production. There is already some uncertainty over Floid and the Old Spice Indian formulation has changed yet again. And with protectionism and tariffs now the order of the day, I am not sure these products will remain so affordable outside their country of manufacture.

Others smell them long after you don’t.
