[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Does anyone use Clubman aftershave?

Posted: 4/6/2019 9:31:17 PM EDT

I sometimes do. Not often. Not when I'm going to leave the house after shaving, but sometimes. It somehow has a familiar smell. My grandfather passed when I was really young, but somehow I think he may have used it. It just has a old time smell to it. Like I said, I would never wear it out. But it just seems right sometimes. Anyone else?

Yep. That’s all I use. It’s what they used at all the barber shops when I was growing up so the smell always brings me back to my childhood. It reminds me of those old barber shops with creaky wooden floors and the old fashioned cash registers in New England.

Bay Rum

Not for me. I bought a bottle to try and I think it smells like cat piss.

I've found that I really gravitate toward the pine scents from Stirling.

I like them. I alternate with the Classic Vanilla, the lime, and Brandy Spice.

Original, yes.

Bay Rum, sometimes, though it smells more like christmas than actual Bay Rum.

Lilac Vegetal? Fuck no. Seal that shit in lead and drop it over an ocean trench. Inscribe the solidified block with warnings in every human language and pictographs. That shit smells like a failed cleanup at an incontinent cat hospice, or like a bullied perfumer's revenge upon humanity. Whoever concocted that vicious effluent suffered from anosmia and wanted to inflict it (or the wish for it), upon others. My only experience with it was a quick splash followed by a three hour Lifetime Network crying rape shower, but it's cloying nauseous stink stayed in my sinuses for the whole of the next day. I sealed it up and stuck it in my lawnmower shed because I don't even hate my garbage man that much. Now my only worry is that disaster or misadventure might somehow release it from its fetters.

Smells like a funeral parlor.

Distinctive old school smell for sure.

Not for me, but no aftershave/cologne is.

Bay Rum is my favorite. A Sandalwood scent is nice too though.

Out of the 7 I've tried, Clubman and Whiskey Woods are the ones I replace.

Man, if you like Clubman Bay Rum, you're liable to like real bay rum. That shit's pleasant.

I've only tried one and I didn't care for it.

I love it. Reminds me of the barber smell when i was a kid.

Hell yeah!!! Original and VIBR!!! Solid hitters for me. Planning on trying Stirling Bay Rum Balm or WH+Aloe but not sure if it's as strong as Clubman.

I have a couple that I rotate, Clubman is one of them. I get a compliment here and there, so it must be somewhat pleasant.

I have a bottle on the shelf and use it once a week or so. It reminds me of my grandad.

Original Clubman and Aqua Velva are all I use.

Verbose, yet poetic.

I especially liked the part about the bullied perfumer.

I like clubman and bay rum but I prefer the Mr. Fine scents.

If you like Clubman Bay Rum, I most humbly do request that you try Masters Bay Rum.

It's cheap. It's alcohol and scent. It's not as good as when they put glycerine in it a few years back. I still kinda like it.

Have you heard of Bootlegger's Bay Rum? I finally tried after reading about it on B&B. Great combo, especially since you mentioned the glycerine issue. The other ingredients tone it down a bit and create a good balance. I prefer the Lime Bay rum version and it is good!!

Love Clubman! Vanilla, Bay Rum, Brady Spice, Whiskey Woods, Gent's Gin, & Special Reserve are good. Lime Sec & Original are my favorites though.
