Out of Proraso and Speick splashes- suggestions for new splash?

[el_chupacabra]

So i finally finished my 2 bottles of splash- only took a year! Right now, westcoastshaving is out of stock of both.

I would like to see your suggestions as new splashes to try. Been a while since I have posted here or perused the wet shaving market. Any fans of the Tobac splash (i can walk down the street and buy it)? D.R Harris fans? Any suggestions for a bay rum splash?

Tabac is good, as is DR Harris Sandalwood
TOBS No. 74 Original or Mr. Taylor
Trumper Spanish Leather or Ajaccio Violets
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

Of course, none of these have the skin goodies of Speick or Proraso--if you want something with a lot of additives to soothe the face, try Musgo Real

+1 on Musgo. For a Bay Rum splash that isn't too harsh, try Aubrey Organics Spice Island.

 

[mdunn]

tabac is good splash, theres also the drugstore favourites of AV and pinaud

I think Bonny Doon makes a "Bay Rhum" that's nice, and I know a lot of the fellas here give love to Ogallala and the Dominica line.

I always like Mosswood for a cheap daily, and SCS splashes are a great value.

If you like menthol, Booster's Polar Ice or Barbon are nice and very affordable.

The price is right on the Aubrey Organics North Woods (pine) and City Rythms (cedar). They don't last too very long but both scents are nice and clean.

Irisch Moos or Hattric. Alt Innsburck perhaps as well.

Irisch Moos or Hattric. Alt Innsburck perhaps as well.

+1 on Alt-Innsbruck. I should have mentioned it in my post

 

[Iakona]

+1 more on Alt Innsbruck. It doesn't have any glycerin or oil, so your face dries without any residue on it (if you like that, which I find a refreshing change)

Oh yeah, and I love the scent!

The Bonny Doon is a cologne. Do not use it as an AS unless you want to set your face on fire.

+1 on Barbon. I used the AS and the shave cream today. The cream is not mentholated but the AS has quite a bit of menthol.

Don't forget about Barbasol Pacific Rush for a nice menthol blast and a refreshing scent.

Cheap too at Dollar General.

Not the easiest to get but La toja is one of my favorites. Pitralon classic is also a good one.

Your standard is set pretty high if you've been using Speick and Proraso.

i'd say try your hand at:

Pitralon Classic
Italian Floid
Alt-Innsbruck

and more Speick

 

[The Nid Hog]

Aqua Velva. Right now there's probably a thread on one of the Italian shaving boards where a guy is saying that he just used up his last bottle of Ice Blue and he's wondering what to do until his neighbor brings him back a bottle of AV Musk after his vacation in the US.

 

[moonshine44]

Definitely give Ice Blue Aqua Velva a look. Great cooling effect...

Not the easiest to get but La toja is one of my favorites. Pitralon classic is also a good one.

+1 on La Toja. It runs Proraso splash very close. Got mine from Leon at http://www.vintagescent.com and shipping to Australia was nice and cheap.
