Aftershave is very important to nourish the skin after you just removed the dead cells and exposed a softer layer of skin. An aftershave splash will cleanse and tighten the skin; and an aftershave balm will moisturize and soothe the skin.
You must be an advertiser's dream.

Davidhoff Champion. Had lots of positive feedback to it so sticking with it for now.

And also CK One because I had a tester once that leaked in the center console of my Discovery and ,made the whole car smell faintly of it. Every girl that got in it said they loved it and so did I so I've stuck with it ever since.

Victor & Rolf Spice Bomb and Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraiche at the mo. Stupid long bloody name, lovely smell. The Mrs hates it but loves the spice.

Do you not find it lasts all of about 5 mins? I like a lot of Hermès stuff but unless it's eau de parfum their colognes and eau de toilettes just don't last. It's why I've stuck with the regular Terre d'Hermes.

I was reading in some up-market blokes magazine in an airport lounge last week about companies that create unique fragrances to order. You go along and they work out what works best for you.....€500 a pop!!!

Think I'll stick to the Chanel de Blu!

Really surprised at the amount of blokes who still wear aftershave. IMO as bad a a woman with cheapo perfume.
Why would a man wearing good to high quality aftershave be at all similar to a woman wearing 'cheapo perfume'?

Is there anything wrong with smelling nice?

Of course if you completely doused yourself in something nasty then yes, you wouldn't be popular to those you sit right next to at work, but no one here is advocating that kind of aftershave use.

Just find it a bit 80s and vain with men these days. And it's the impact of the smell that is similar to a girl wearing cheapo perfume. If I'm out sociably and a bloke nearby is donning his favourite odour, then I tend to think "knob".
Just so that I'm clear on this; you're telling us that if you catch a whiff of a bloke's aftershave, you presume him to be a knob?

Never fails to amaze me just how intolerant and judgemental people can be frown

Any one of these, depending on season, mood and event. Bleu de Chanel for everyday office wear.
