I really liked the James Bronnley and it’s a big miss. Boot’s Freshwood will always have place in my stocks for as long as it’s produced and I’m gaining a better appreciation of Superdrug’s Forest Fresh. Vintage Old Spice? Now there was a potion!

I may have missed the Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere AS. I do have the Colonia AS. I will try it in the next couple of shaves and compare it with the James Bronnley...

I have more aftershave’s in my rotation than soaps/creams.

So this could be a big list, as could comment on everything I have.

Epsilon Mediterranean blue is my favorite scent wise. I probably reach for it the most.

Vito’s Tobacco as I like cigar leaf tobacco scent. The orange, powder and Amber to go along with it are a great combo. I wish I could find a cologne with this scent profile.

Proraso green I was kind of disappointed in at first. I was expecting more of a eucalyptus type scent. But it has become a favorite.

Proraso Red I know sandalwood scents can very and this may not be a true sandalwood. But it was a hit with my nose from the first time I smelled it. Another that I wish I could find in a matching cologne.

Trumpers sandalwood have both the skin food and the cologne. Just wish the scent would last longer.

Aqua Velva Ice blue I have liked this scent from the first time I smelled it as a kid. Still do to this day.

La Toja another that I liked from the first time I smelled it. Aqua mixed with juicy fruit gum kinda scent. Like the post shave performance on my face. To bad it’s no longer in production.

Skin Bracer another one I like the smell of since I was a kid. Along with AV these are my 2 favorite drug store aftershaves.

Stirling soaps Varen, deep blu sea, Haverford & Arkadia are all favorites of mine.

Speick has that unique fougere scent with a great post shave performance.

There are some other cologne scents that I’m sure would be my aftershave favorite’s too. But I just haven’t gotten around to trying them. Dr Harris Windsor aftershave is definitely on that list.
 
Woody's Aftershave Tonic. Around £11 for a 187ml bottle on Amazon UK. For me it serves as an aftershave lotion and aftershave balm in one. No sting.
