Picked up this 3/4 full bottle of Avon Ironman in an OP shop in a nearby town for a whole $3.00 today. I couldn’t resist and it still smells fine but the scent seems to disappear after a short while. I only gave it one spray on my wrist so it might go a little longer with a spray or two on my chest/neck.
 
On my way home I stopped by another antique shop, I picked up this Avon Mens Fragrance Demonstrator for a couple bucks. There was also the woman's set there as well. The scents are Wild country, Leather, Wind jammer, Tribute, Spicy, Excalibur, Island Lime, and Bravo.

Post in the Avon Finds thread. Us Avon nerds will like to see this.

Enjoy the sampler!

 
Patience paid off and I grabbed a bottle of both F. /Extra and Antesol during Black Friday sales.

This is it. I am done (at least I think so anyway).

I’ve got a bottle of Opuntia splash coming with the matching soap but aside from that, and my ongoing search for a bottle of Ralon, I’m feeling pretty fulfilled when it comes to aftershaves.

Congratulations on scratching the itch.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Mwuhahahahhaa

I know, I know. Plenty before me have said the same thing but I’m pretty confident. Honestly, I’ve tried just about everything that I’ve wanted to try and there’s only a few that I haven’t been able to get my hands on in order of most to least sought after:

-Ralon
-That one made by the monks in France or Italy (can’t remember the name at the moment)
-Figaro Amber
-Vitos

If you are in the UK .. there is a discount store called Sams 99
They currently have Brut Attraction Totale and Brut Sport style for £1.25 each !!
I may go back and get more this week. loads are on the shelves .. and both smell pretty nice

Currently they sit under my tree for another 10 days ( Mainly cos I have nothing else to put there yet !!)

Greetings, all, after many years away. Over the fall I was in Frankfurt and Rome on a combination business / pleasure trip and sought out drugstore shaving brands. Frankfurt yielded Pitralon and Irisch Moos, while I stumbled across Denim Musk in Rome. (I know I could have found any number of excellent A/S in Rome, but my budget was mostly, and correctly, allocated to dining :) )

Pitralon is a sublime delight and I'm on the hunt for the variants I can't seem to find anywhere else. I like Irisch Moos quite a lot, but Denim Musk is reserved for those days that I don't mind projecting a scent for a thousand yards...!
 
Ordered myself two aftershave presents that arrived today.
An additional bottle of Barrister & Mann Leviathan splash, it smells great, but most of all I think it's the most comfortable AS splash I've put on my face.
Also, never tried it, but so many here speak highly of it. Floid original in a 400ml bottle. Looking forward to using it tomorrow.
 
Mr.Taylors Luxury Aftershave Balm by TOBS. Do I really need it right now, with two Proraso balms in rotation and trying to finish one Coach Open Road in parallel - not exactly...Then why I bought it - it was decently discounted and with free shipping, plus that looks like a real skin treat. Greetings, gents!
