I don't know the Spanish version. And my job only brings me in Germany, Belgium, and the UK really.
But indeed, there's more choice online than in the B&M shops.
Aftershave that's suitable for younger men

I believe its the same stuff, just you get twice as much product for the same money and it got nice classic bottle

I tried. The biggest problem is that I haven't got a huge collection of fragrances or a lot of experience with aftershaves, so apart from listing the colognes and aftershaves I tried and liked I am afraid I can't get more specific
That sure sounds interesting, but makes me hesitant a bit, too.. Floid Vig is described as powdery as well, which to me smells like cheap odour sticks (these: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/smell-stick-27272141.jpg) or those new age stores where you can buy postcards made of cow dong. I think I'll just put it on my christmas list and pass it on if I don't like it
Ah yes, thanks! I've read a lot of good things about this, it's available (yay!) and quite cheap, too. Awesome!
This is my all time favorite AS scent for M-F. I've never received as many compliments on anything else I've ever used. That said, not sure I'd consider it "young".
Consider DrH Windsor or Fine Platinum. PPF Speakeasy would be another good one.

A couple of people have noted that the suggestion that I made earlier was kind of "odd" since the Crown Shaving AS Tonic is more associated with "old man smell". I guess internally I was thinking that younger guys should adopt classic scents instead of stuff that smells like Axe Body Spray...
I like the classic scents and modern scents both, however I think Axe does a very good job in creating modern scents with a big variety and don't people love variety here? I think the best is just to try scents, because I was also told that Aqua Velva is a old guys scent but I really love it and I'm still under 30.
No worries dwsteen! I didn't mean to sound cranky if it came off that way. I shouldn't post before having coffee.

I just want to clarify my post about Crown Shaving Co. Tonic... there is no such thing as "old man smell". I said some people associate classics as smelling like an "old man". It's a completely subjective thing and I don't believe there is an exact designation of aftershaves that fall into the term. Not once did I say it was an "odd" suggestion. I was surprised and glad you suggested it! I said I don't discriminate fragrances by calling them "young/old" and that I love the stuff and that it's a classic old school barbershop scent. It's one of my favourites and I'll say it again... I'd recommend it to any aftershave enthusiast.
EDIT: Forgot to include the quote, so I deleted and reposted. Sorry for the weird post order!

Not at all! I just wanted to be clear that I'm a big fan and my post wasn't intended as a deterrent to your suggestion, is all. It's one of the best aftershaves in my collection.
I'm 28, and this type of barbershop scent definitely doesn't work. My girlfriend hates it as do I. Good thing there are other scent like RazoRock The Freedberg that are terrific.
I am 44 but I still consider myself 'young man'.
But, I use Old Spice, Pinaud Clubman, Brut, Aqua Velva...

Another vote for 4711 - good stuff!
I think that Aqua Velva Ice Sport might satisfy your needs. More of a 'modern' scent, but still very reliable and wonderfully priced.
Maybe shoot Garry a note (link below). Tell him what you're looking for and see what he recommends. He can probably send you suitable samples for a small price, and small shipping (assuming he'll ship to Nederlands).
That way, when you decide what you want, you can have West Coast Shaving send you a full size container.
I was just in WCS today, and smelled a few samples. Coincidentally, I also received about 15 samples from Garry as well.
Good to know shipping is only $15. My buddy from Eindhoven just posted a picture with some serious stubble. Told him he needed a razor. Now I can send him one from Sinterklaas and not break the bank!

I'm a young guy as well and I've found Baxter's aftershave balm to be great. It has some lemon notes but meshes well with all of my creams.
DR Harris Arlington SPlash is amazing. Nice fresh scent with a hint of citrus. That is one of my top 2or3 best scented AS
Clubman Original.
To me old man in Europe might mean: Floid , Myrsol , Mont St Michel, etc...
and in North America: Old Spice, Aqua Velva, Clubman
depends on what you think your grandpa smelled like. Maybe using the euro stuff in NA and vice-versa might work, culture reversal!?
Btw I'm 47
