I was a Brute guy just like Joe Namath.

I don't remember.

I haven't shaved since 1972.

Wearing some Old Spice now. Then again tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that.....

My wife gets me several brands of Bay Rum, mostly because it smells good to us and tends to be not super heavy after a few minutes. People over a certain age have to beware of their diminished sense of smell, and as a result, the tendency to load on scent that they may barely smell but that suffocates bystanders at restaurants, theaters, or just walking past on the street. A group of blue haired dignified matriarchs, like maybe a bridge club, parading along the sidewalk in town can take out a team of Navy Seals just walking past with their tactical chemical warfare cologne.

Wow, forgot about skin bracer

Nunca, nada, nul, de rien; 'nother words, nothin'.

I'm afraid my father was a bit like that with the Old Spice. Maximum intensity.

I was more the English Leather guy myself.

My grandpa used that stuff. We’d get him a bottle every Christmas. Only he’d use less than a whole bottle in a year so he started to gain a cellar.

Man of Aran or Old Spice in my teens. Oh, and stale, sweaty hockey gear during the season.

 

[jaytex1969]

I've never been a cologne or after shave guy but I do use Old Spice deodorant.

I have a small bottle of bay rum and another of "hippy oil" (patchouli) that I will some times deploy very sparingly.

Beyond that, coffee and tobacco are my essences.

Williams Shave soap, a good boar brush, a straight razor, and Aqua Velva here...
Old school, clean, and reserved.
Clubman after some Cella shave cream is the alt...
Am I a Codger with this? ?

 

[Chasing Embers]

I use witch hazel and Clubman Pinaud after shaving.

 

[ray47]

Just like my father and Grandfathers, I'm an Old Spice guy. Old Spice has that nostalgic aroma for me.

 

[irishearl]

I don't remember.

I haven't shaved since 1972.

That's how long I've had my beard but still shave the neck and above my beard line. Never have used aftershave.

I don't usually wear any aftershave/scent. But, when I do, it's Clubman. Regular and Bay Rum. Always smells great. It's a classic.
