Aqua Velva Cooling After Shave, Classic Ice Blue - 7 fl oz

 (11 customer reviews)

Although this is one of the cheapest aftershaves out there, it is the best. If you put this same product into a high-end, 100 dollar bottle, it would still sell. It's got a perfect balance between the leathery musk scent and barbershop astringent (alcohol) scents. If there is a classic "masculine scent" then this is it, and there isn't a woman out doesn't enjoy this smell. But more importantly, it feels damn good after a shave. Teens shouldn't look down on this product because it has been around forever and their fathers used it. And snobs need to ignore the price. This is a classic scent that should never fall out of style.

A classic AS at an incredibly reasonable price. No complaints here. Smells great for hours and attracts women like a magnet. It's a great aroma out of the bottle but gets even better once it's on your face, and I personally believe that's the alluring magic of this stuff when it settles onto a guy's face. I use it every day after shaving. Also use Lectric Shave "Fresh" gel before shaving. These products go great together. Lectric Shave pre-electric gel gives the closest electric shave you can get -- and I mean once your face is used to an electric shaver, the Lectric Shave gel gets it as close as a blade shave, maybe even closer and definitely faster with no skin rash or irritation. My daily regimen starts with Lectric Shave gel, then a shave with the best of the electrics at a great price: the Braun foil (I have the 5885), then Aqua Velva. Nothing better or more soothing to the skin than AV regardless of price and I've tried them all.

This stuff will never go out of style. Cool astringent qualities on applcation . . . then a lingering very fresh, very masculine scent(and not at all overwhelming or offensive).

Working against this product are the same things that work for it: It has been around forever and it is cheap. Therefore snobs won't touch it.

My favorite after shave.

By the way -- my present supply is in a plastic container labeled, "New Shatterproof Bottle!". #1. Don't lie to me. The marketers don't care if it's shatterproof or not. They want to improve profit margin. The plastic is ok, but we really don't get excited about it. #2 Whoever designed and then signed off on this horrid bottle should be fired. I suspect in the interest of getting the consumer to use more, the hole in the top of the bottle is too big. It is absolutely impossible to dispense this into your hand without some of the product running down the side of the bottle and leaving a blue stain on your...Read more
