Cologne Primer

[acb13013]

Hello gents,

I've never used cologne, but since I've gotten into wetshaving, my interest has increased, but my knowledge has not. So... I have some rank newbie questions (no pun intended... OK, it was):

What is the difference between cologne, eau de cologne, and eau de toilette? How are they applied (spray, splash on face, etc.)? What are the advantages of one over another?

I keep thinking back to childhood playground wisdom - "Eau de toilette means 'toilet water'! Ewwww!"
