Aftershave

4zn76tysfajdxp

Right lads, I'm a newbie in this forum so please go easy on me. Also mods, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I'm going out later tonight and am considering applying aftershave after...uh..shaving. So how is it done properly? How much is too much? Am I too young (21) to be throwing that stuff on in the first place? Do tell.

trout

Ah, bless ... they grow up so fast these days

Depends entirely on the aftershave, though as a rule of thumb, too much is never enough.

Drakar Noir == a thimbleful, applied with 5 slaps per cheek.
Old Spice == stop when the fumes make you light-headed, or puddles form on the floor.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

So the "less is more" rule doesn't apply when I'm using what I suspect will be coloured water?

Don't douse yourself in it, I like to get a nice scent off a guy but I don't wanna choke on it either!
You can always put a bit on your jacket (check it doesn't do damage) and then the scent lasts a bit longer

There are two bottles in the bathroom. Aldi's finest "Excite: For Men" aftershave and a bottle labelled "Woodspice" which Google doesn't recognise.

Well, no-one can tell you what to do ... you're a grown man and you can do whatever you want.

Personally ... I'd go with the Woodspice. Plenty of it.

Splash of Old Spice young fella, cant beat it, not even with a hammer. It will have the women falling at your feet. Also if your a bit short on cash then ya can have the odd swig of it.

Applying cosmetics is sooo wrong. A man should smell of man, not of the waste drains from the Chanel factory.
And I'm suprised at the rest of ye, encouraging the poor chap like that.

Its a sign of the times. the golden oldies refuse to move on and accept the changes to the ways of fragrancing the body. Whereas the younger men are more inclined to try something new. And not want to smell like their fathers/uncles/grandfathers/priests. Whatever.

Hmmm,my younger brother(hes 28) is a big fan of mould spice.

I havent used it since I was about 18 because it does remind me of my grandfather.

I think you need to have a chat with the younger brother. tell him farheinheit is the way to go. I'm a little obsessed with it

Carefull how you phrase things.;):D

Just be careful with Joop. You may hear stories about it containing "pheromones" which will drive teh wimmins crazy for you, but too much also has a horrible side effect.

One night I decided to throw on some Joop as I was in a rush to get started drinking. I used a small bit more aftershave than usual in my hurry and first noticed its power when the taxi driver started saying how nice it was. Later in the night, I was standing at the club, counting change for my next drinks when I glanced up...and in horror realised that I was now in the epicentre of a metrosexual gathering. Their delicate feminine like noses had smelled the aftershave, and had caused them to gather around me, expecting some conversation about €200 haircuts from the lovely scented man.

My breathing became heavy. My palms started sweating and with every second that passed, I could feel the manliness inside screaming in a little voice "You must fight your way out in true man style". I calmly pushed the change into my pocket, keeping my ass slightly angled away from the gathering pansies. With one last deep breath, I raised my arms, started to walk towards the door and started swinging all around me.

When the terrified bouncers finally dragged me to the front door of the club, I could see the fear but also a manly respect in their eyes.

"You've had enough tonight buddy" they gently whispered.

I looked behind me..not a full turn around head glance, but a manly glance none the less.

"Until the world is metro free, it will never be enough" I rasped in a deep testosterone tone.

And with that, I held my head up in an alpha male stance, and slowly walked away, throwing the locks of highlighted hair which has clumped between my bloody fists and a patch off a mickey mouse manbag into the bin as I went. And since that night I have never wore Joop again.

First off too much is definitely something to avoid. I give two sprays, one to either side of my lower neck and then a third on the chest. Never on the face because its brutal for your skin and you'll be smelt 2 miles away:D And whilst they everybody calls them aftershaves, your best bet is to go with an Eau de Toillette (EDT). It'll have the best smell. Lastly, I normally wear Boss by Hugo Boss or on big nights out/dinners etc Chanel Allure Homme. And the posters above are right too, Farenheit is a winner!

The ladies love a fine smelling man!:D

Don't ever, evar, EVAR diss Old Spice.

You are forgetting about the BGRH Holy Trinity of scented fragrances - Old Spice, Hai Karate and Brut.

And on special occasions, Blue Stratos.

A true BGRH brother will wearing nothing less.

Im a n00b here.Apologies.:(


****goes to stand in corner and think about what Ive done****

robtri

forget them smelly girlie aftershave's heres what a real man needs to be wearing....

Seth Brundle

You're meant to put it on your face? :eek: I thought it was a treat - something to drink after shaving.

Anyway, BRUT tastes the nicest!

kumate_champ07

heres my aftershave adn eau de toilette application tip. dont rub it on your cheeks/face after shaving or any other time. most contain alcohol and will dry out your skin, a big no no after running a blade all over your face stripping the moisture away.

also girls prob dont like kissing a face that tastes like old spice. what u need to do is apply on the back of your neck, in the middle area above your collar bone and behind your ears. body heat will release the fragrance over time. you can also put it on your wrists.

i think most of the summer fragrances are alcohol free, u dont wanna put it on your neck if its got alcohol

The sister has gotten into the habit of gifting me with aftershave for every possible celebration, so it looks like I'm only short of having Sex Panther at this stage.

Never really got the difference between apres savage (is that aftershave yeah?), parfum and eau de toilette. Ok, so EDT is more watered down than parfum (judging by the prices) but what's up with the aftershave? Heard a myth it was kinder on your skin but I reckon that's bollox.

There's always that aul gem that women love the smell of fresh perspiration off a man

Stevecw

Sex Panther by Odeon
It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way
60% of the time it works, every time. Can't go wrong with that!!

Star Lord

Nuff said.

Twas also said many times previously.

Frada why are you looking for this advice from the sage's at 21? You should be well on your way now.

Ah I remember fondly one Christmas morning when I had shaved the bumfluff from my face (used the older bro's razor) the previous night (Age 14).

We were just about to leave the house to do the visting when the aul lad looked at me and said "What's that cut on your neck?"

"Er, it's from a scratch" says I, embarrassed and conflustered.
"B0llox" he retorts, "It's a shaving nick, we'll put you on the shopping list so".

I felt a made man that day.

KarmaGarda

That happened to me when I was about 9 I think. I had a hitler tash and the aul lady says "bout time that got shaved off". The aul fella says "no, he's too young to be shavin". Anyway, she told me to go shave it off without tellin him and ignore him. 20+ years later and I've a beard growth rate that isn't comparable to any living object... if I was arsed about keeping the stubble off me face I'd have to shave twice a day.

All I can say is don't listen to yer ma.

I'm so on topic here. What were we talking about again?

Oh yeah. Aftershave. About 2 buckets of old spice around the groin region should do the trick.
