I expect I'll always have Old Spice around, and I use Nivea Sensitive ASB after any splash just for a bit of extra moisturizing. I'm a huge fan of Razorock Evil Eye/King Louis for their healing properties, and I don't think I ever want to run out of those.

Fine American Blend is another I'll keep buying, but I don't actually like it as an aftershave all that much. Leaves my fave feeling kinda sticky. As a fragrance, however, it's probably my favorite. I shave at night, but I usually throw some on before work.
 
Haven't found an aftershave I didn't like so far but Nivea Balm, Skin Bracer, Clubman and Barbasol Pacific Rush will always be in my medicine cabinet.
 
I have many but the ones I always have on hand:

Speik splash (great scent and the right weight -- interesting yet refreshing)
Clubman (nostalgia in a bottle, but can seem heavy after a couple of hours)
DH Harris Windsor, Arlington, or Marlborough (high quality, refined)
Fine American Blend, Vetiver, Platinum (all superb but a tad light/dilute)
Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Post Shave Balm (great stuff, use after splash)
Nivea Revitalizing Double Action Balm with Q10 (also good after splash)
Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture Sensitive Skin (final coat -- your face will never feel tight, dry, or greasy with this)
 
Pinaud Clubman, Aqua Velva, Nivea sensitive ASB and Old Spice. Clubam probably gets the most use. I only use the Old Spice on Sunday mornings before church when I shave with some Old Spice soap that I ended up with in a mug. I figure the soap will last a lot longer that way. Ahhhh Old Spice Sundays. Man, I wish it was Sunday again
