OMG, such an easy fix as easily available and cheap.

Yeah...I know. I think what happened is that I gravitate toward aftershaves that have nice projection and longevity that I never really wanted to try a lot of the drug store stuff. Plus, I am not huge on the powdery scents and every time I sniff the likes of Skin Bracer or Aqua Velva...I am just not all that jazzed.

Well, if you don't like powder I wouldn't recommend for you but I love it. 👍
 
Didn't try both. Italian AV (Unilever), that's available here, leaves some thin film on my skin, that I don't like. And since SB is boric acid and water, and we have something similar, I guess I would go with SB. Just a guess though.
 
I voted Skin Bracer. I know it’s unobtaniun, but Barbasol would be my first choice, then Skin Bracer, then Aqua Velva. AV has a bit too much powdery-ness too me to top the list.
 
I like both but voted for Skin Bracer. SB was a recent purchase while AV I've been using occasionally for a few years. If I had to rate all of powdery-types I've tried it would go like this:

Skin Bracer
AV
Clubman
Floid Vigoroso
 
I have also never tried skin bracer. Almost picked some up yesterday when i was at walgreens. now i will have to grab some next time i am there.
 
Skin Bracer has a funky dry down on me. Smells like dirty socks.
Aqua Velva I love, the Williams variety is a little nicer than the US version though.
 
I haven’t tried Skin Bracer either. But Aqua Velva is one of my favs. Not sure any of the SB descriptions will entice me to try it. I guess I would need to hear some detailed descriptions of the scent. I didn’t vote since I only know one of them.
 
I like them both pretty much the same but skin bracer is easier to enjoy. I like the aqua velva sport more the SB though
