Not to get off-topic, but I transferred my Clubman (and a few other items) into European Dropper Bottles from Specialty Bottle. Several colors/sizes available, reasonably priced and work great. I know which is which based on the size/color of the bottle (amber, green, blue) and cap (black/white).
I have a few Pinaud products, including Clubman, Virgin Island Bay Rum, and Lime Sec. They are great classics, but for the original, I prefer Canoe because of the glycerine content. Same smell, but helps to not dry out my face, especially in cooler weather. If Clubman had that, it would be perfect. I prefer them to already have it in the aftershave, as I don't like adding anything to them. Very nice scents on all three, and I'm super fond of the Lime Sec right now. I love the scent of lime! 
Transferred some modern stock into glass. I noticed the plastic restrictionors on my Pinaud bottles had a weird plastic/petroleum scent to them.
Now when I open the bottles and take a whiff, it's pure bliss. Special thanks to Louisiana and Texas Pete for the glass!

Long live Clubman.
I just bought some Clubman on the way home from the barbershop last night. It's my first bottle. It won't be my last. Love this stuff!
So I broke down and bought the cheapest hot sauce Walmart had, just for the bottle. I'm cleaning it now to see how it affects my clubman. Thanks to this forum, I'm not saving any money and I'm wasting hot sauce...

Hey, you could try adding the hot sauce to the Clubman and instead of a freeze get something else.
I think I'll wait for a review of Clubman Fire before I try it.- Thread starter

No sense of adventure.
Are you looking at the same thing I am - 5 oz. dasher bottles? Do the pour tops pop out of the Clubman bottles and as well as these so that you can just use a funnel to transfer the aftershave?

Yes... the dasher bottles are snap on caps (based on the photos) and the clubman tops pull out with a little work, just get a fingernail or small screwdriver under the lip and pry up.
Does you splash a little Clubman even on days you don't shave? Guilty.
I just bought my first bottle of clubman finally, and am already guilty. I've already had compliments though!

I found some .Amazon that fit the bill. The original one with the high shipping prices was from a specialty bottle company. I should have gone to Amazon in the first place.
How did you manage to get the original labels off of the old plastic bottles? Is it as easy as soaking the plastic bottles in hot water?
Yes, put some very hot water in the plastic bottle, wait 30 seconds or so, then gently start to peel up the label. The heat softens the glue. My bottle deformed a little from the heat.

Thanks. I tried soaking the outside of the bottle and it did not work.
I miss this. My old barber where I used to live was old school and maintained ritual such as this. Alas, there are no 'traditional' barbers near where I am now
...got to love that line!
