Aftershave of the Day

Actually, on the topic of cooling aftershave, how do yall gents feel about Niveas current balms? As in the ones we can acquire in the USA. The 2 in 1 is a blend of alcohol, menthol, and aloe with other moisturizers but how does it compare to these options?

These are NOT ones I own or am using. I'm just wondering as it appears that the OG clear blue that was a mythical "all in one" was discontinued and it's formula was divided into 4 or 5 separate aftershaves

@NurseDave any insight?

I used to use the alcohol free balm from time to time before I got into my standard routine. It was helpful if your face tends to dry out.

Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue!

This ad cracks me up because there's no way Jimi Hendrix was an aqua velva man. I doubt he really ever shaved much and put some aftershave on. But if he did? I'd expect Clubman Pinaud or maybe Mennen. I just know he smelled crazy.

What is this? Is this vintage?

Not vintage. It's "Cigar Aficionado" aftershave splash from Aficionado Fragrances.. From the net:


Cigar Aficionado aftershave, part of the Cigar fragrance line, offers a sophisticated, masculine scent with notes of tobacco, warm spices, leather, and woods, designed to soothe skin post-shave with a refreshing, non-oily feel, creating an elegant aroma reminiscent of a luxury cigar lounge. It's a popular choice for men who appreciate rich, classic scents, often featuring spicy top notes, a cedarwood heart, and a smoky, vanilla base, available in various sizes, including 3.4 oz bottles.


Key Characteristics:
  • Fragrance Profile: A blend of spicy, woody, and smoky notes, often with hints of leather, vanilla, and tobacco.
  • Sensation: Provides a cooling, hydrating, and soothing effect on the skin after shaving, without leaving an oily residue.
  • Occasion: Recommended for both casual and elegant evening wear, especially in cooler seasons like fall and winter.
  • Application: Apply a small amount to the face and neck after shaving, avoiding eyes and cuts.

Sounds nice. I'd swap for or add a coffee note for the Cuban feel.

Mennen Skin Bracer! I love this ad, just like that Aqua Velva one. It's so highly detailed but the weird disembodied hand with the random giant hand on the right is funny to me

Didn't shave today, but I did want to start my day with the surprisingly refreshing smell and feel after shaving last night. I know it's not really good to do that but I don't mind.
