Thread: On a Budget

I was hoping you guys could suggest some good Aftershaves and Colognes for one a budget like myself.

Tabac and Old Spice are quite popular in this site. They are relatively cheap, and the scent is very nice (although that is very personal matter).
Old Spice and Blue Stratos are my favorites. Their scent remind me of the days when i didn't have anything yet to shave off and always watched old guys doing their shaving rituals with DE's, straights, aftershaves and all.

I'd like to recommend this one.Old timey scent,face tightening astringent properties,readily available in most drugstores, and cheap, around $7 usually.It's one of my favorites despite it's cheapness.

Are you looking for a splash or a balm? Also there is two ways to think about budget: there is cheap now, but doesn't last long; there is a little more now, but lasts longer. I personally made my own splashes, bought my balms from Alraz (and they will last a long time) and my favorite cologne is also from Alraz.

I have never seen that one before. I will have to look out for that one.

Both are good I'm not really picky when it comes to Splashes or Balms.

Hello, cpgrad08:

I have used Pinaud Clubman in addition to the fancy aftershaves for years and would never be without it. This is the old time barbershop fragrance, and it lasts. Most Walgreen stores carry it. Good stuff for the money.

Hey there, nice to see another jarhead on the forum - hope things are going as well as can be expected over there!

I just want to put in a plug for Nivea ASB. It's cheap ($6) works great, lasts a long time, and you can find it pretty much everywhere. It is not fancy, but it is good for my very sensitive, non leather-neck skin.

Semper Fi.

Clubman Pinaud's, Bay Rum is also a good buy at about the same price as the regular. Much more caustic on irritated skin than many I've used however.

How about Floid the Italian blue stuff? It comes in a 400ml. glass bottle and the menthol don't half give a refreshing tingle in the morning.You can also get Pinaud Clubman in a plastic bottle in 400ml. size.Can't remember where I got mine it was quite a while ago.
