Stetson Cooling Moisture

I have written a couple of things about this aftershave splash but I don't think it has it's own dedicated thread.

This Aftershave has a great ingredient list which includes Castor oil, Glycerin, menthol, and aloe which are all listed before Alcohol. It really has no alcohol burn at all and a very slight menthol cool that slowly creeps on a couple minutes after applying. The skin feel and healing properties are the best of any aftershave I own and the scent is great, and not over powering (but lasting). This is my favorite Aftershave in both categories (scent and skin feel). This is the only aftershave I have that I don't layer with a balm because if I do my skin feels a bit oily because the aftershave gives all the moisturizing and protection that my face needs. Any balm is just overkill.

The best part is I can get it at Wal Mart for around $6 and it comes in a very nice glass bottle. If you haven't tried this aftershave yet I highly recommend it. For the price it is a steal and while scents can be very subjective, I absolutely love this one; very masculine and classy.

I've always liked this aftershave too, I prefer this cheaper stetson product over the more expensive varieties.

I gave it a sniff last time I was at Wallyworld and it's not bad. I might have to give it a try. I confess to some bias in associating Stetson with cheap cologne from the 70's. But yeah, if 60% of the time, it works every time - maybe it's okay.

Tankerjohn, after your experience with Speick aftershave, I'm not sure if anything will let you down

I try not to associate it with "cheap old scents" anymore than I would something like Aqua Velva, Skin Bracer, Pinaud or Old Spice. With aftershave, I just smell it and if I like the way it smells, I like it. If I like the ingredients and the way it feels, I like it even more.

I like the scent much better than I do regular Stetson. I keep it in rotation and its nice to be able to pick it up at Walmart for around $5

I like the scent but I have oily skin and can't use it.

I mix it with Regular Stetson that I keep decanted in a Classic Dark Blue Phillips Milk of Magnesia Bottle.

LOL! No kidding! Serves me right for having too high expectations. It's only shaving, after all.

I bought my bottle of this about six months ago. At first I found its scent to be a bit too mild and put it aside, not really appreciating its healing properties (I was using a balm after every shave back then, so that's where I got my healing).

When summer came around, and I wasn't using my balms so much, I started using Aqua Velva on an almost daily basis, because I liked the face feel of it so much. But, I started using the Stetson as well, just to break up the monotony of using the same AS every day. AV is still my most reached for after shave, but I am glad I've rediscovered the Stetson Cooling moisture.

I must say, although I like Aqua Velva's scent more, the Stetson's curing properties are even better. So now, if I've had a rough shave, I reach for the Stetson instead. It really does do wonderful things for your face.

A worthy addition to anyone's shave den.

I really like this stuff too. It does have a lot of moisturizers and sometimes more than I really want though.

I've seen this in the store, but never got any since I already have enough AS to last several years, but after this review I think I'll have to give it a whirl!

I like it! It's cheap, smells nice, and feels pretty good. Most of all it's easily found and picked up locally.

I like Stetson Cooling Moisture aftershave well enough that I keep a few bottles of it on hand at all times. When traveling, this is also my preferred aftershave since it doesn't have a overpowering scent that won't get me thrown out of whatever moving transportation method I decide to take. My wife and daughter like the scent as well, which wins it big points as well.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've seen it on the shelves, and now I'm even more inclined to give it a try!

Wife loves it and you should try to mix it with regular Stetson.

Nice smell, but way too oily a feeling for me.

Same here.

I have a bottle of this, but I haven't given it a full test drive yet. Just a couple of wrist tests. I'm going to have to be careful with it because it comes on a bit too sweet for me. Still there are some nice things in the scent and I think all the skin care stuff will be good when it gets wintery here. It kind of makes me wish aftershaves came with a graphic equalizer with a slider for each fragrance note so I could dial it in just the way I want it.
