The Aftershave Thread ! - Page 3

I couldn't find the best UK HK advert, where Ms Leon is in a very slinky, low cut dress and positively sashays towards the (same) guy - forget the aftershave, he was likely to drown in her cleavage!

(Pals who have been to autograph fairs and have met her say she is completely charming and has worn well...)

I'm a bearded one also so, I only shave my neck and a bit of cheek every few days to keep away the wolfman look (grey wolf that is). When I was in a shirt and tie daily, I shaved each morning and needed something to keep the irritation down but didn't want to smell like a cologne counter at the mall.

The best aftershave I have ever used. Its a cream designed to do exactly as labelled without risking offending every nose within 100 meters. The fragrance is rather mild and it doesn't burn your skin. Also, unless you are born with webbed fingers, half your product doesn't go down the sink like liquid aftershaves.

Have to admit this one looks pretty cool .

Although user or not i`d have much preferred to receive this !

Point of order, Mr Chairman... I contend that cream does not count as aftershave [sic] for the purposes of the Act. Aftershave must, by definition, involve a bottle or equivalent, shaking, and splashing! A cream is dangerously close to cosmetics, harrumph...

(If anyone misses my laconic humour here....)

A man should have a at least two scents in his personal cabinet: one for formal and one for informal use.

I used to order the stuff overseas (US/Canada) because it was often 33% cheaper when done right.

FYI: Every scent or cologne smells different on every person, so try before you buy..
Tricky about most colognes is depending on circumstances, the scent may become corrupted when stored for a longer time (I like to call this the dishwater effect) Best storage place is a refrigerator* actually, which is cool & dry..

I shave once and sometimes twice a week and don't really like using aftershave but otherwise some pimples appear a few hours later. However, chicks say it smells good when they kiss me on the cheek when we meet, so there is some use of it. I use Axe Shave Africa right now but I could care less what brand it is.

I've got a bottle of Brut and Adidas Intense Touch after this one's empty.

I thought it was about time - the cobwebs were getting a bit too thick.
