What to ask from the US

[ysbg]

My cousin is going to the US and I thought I should ask her to bring me one bottle of a classic supermarket aftershave.

It seems Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue is very highly regarded on this forum, so I thought of asking her for that one. I could get it on Amazon UK, but it's 7 pounds, while it's only 3 dollars in the US. What do you guys think, is this a good request? Or do you have better suggestions?

I don't want to ask her to bring too much stuff because she'll probably be carrying presents for all the family also, so I'd prefer to stick to one.

At the moment after-shave wise I have old spice and dr harris windsor, plus a sample from Clarins. I like all of them, and I'm actually surprised to see that I prefer splashes to balms.

Thanks!

Aqua Velva is good. I'm not sure what you have over in the UK, but you could also ask for Skin Bracer, or one of Barbasol's many varieties of aftershaves.

If it's only one bottle, I'd vote for the Aqua Velva. I agree to add Skin Bracer if she can fit two bottles.

I would go with a bottle of Pinaud Clubman (found in most drug stores here). My next choice would be Skin Bracer.

Thanks guys. I'm excited! What did shaving do to me..

Captains Choice (even though it isn't a supermarket aftershave).

AV classic blue and/or Skin Bracer.
