WHAT was your dad's aftershave? - page 1 -

• WHAT was your dad's aftershave? by warhawk on 12 Jun, 2012 12:37
• Hello fellow chrome domes:
  
  What was your dad's after shave when you were a kid.  I'll start:  I will always remember my dad's top 3 aftershaves that he used in his rotation.  Old Spice, English Leather, and Brut by Fabrege.
  
  Those 3 are classics.  So, how 'bout U?  What was your dad's after shave?  Old Spice?  English Leather?  Brut?  or something else, what's your story?

• Old Spice, with the ship that sails the ocean.

• Pops Duke was infamous for his Brut!
  I remember seeing that green bottle w/the little "tin" sign on it sitting on his bathroom counter

• Great question, Warhawk. I cannot remember for the life of me what the brand was, even though I remember enjoying the smell as a kid. I want to say it was a green liquid in a small glass bottle, but I could be thinking of something else. Perhaps absinthe.

• Old Spice ... never varied.
  
  Thanks for rekindling the memory.

• Dad had three..... Brut, Aqua Velva, and the dreaded Hai-Karate.

• My dad used Aqua Velva...but I haven't seen him without a beard since 1977 (when I was 4 years old).  Knowing my parents, that little bottle of Aqua Velva is probably still in the medecine cabinet.

• Mother was allergic to all scents, thus NO aftershave or any perfumed cosmetics were permitted in the house. As a school teacher, my father was given many bottles of cologne or after shave. All were given away to others after a polite thank you was given.
  
  I like Calvin Klein "Eternity" and "Eternity Summer".

• It was Old Spice. I referred to it as "Old Scheiss".

• Dad doesn't wear any, never has, but my Granddad always wore Old Spice or Aqua Velva and I remember it well. Also, he did a lot of exterior woodwork and always smelled like creosote, their whole house did... love that smell.

• My dad is in the local police force and I recall having a steady supply of Brute in those green bottles in our bathroom shelf. I really liked the smell then. I don't know if it is still available today.

• I don't know if this counts as aftershave, but my dad used Vitalis a lot...though I did see some Brut 33 occasionally..

• Before my dad grew out his awesomely full beard (which I envy) he would use Brut or Old Spice aftershave.
