      This and the good ole men's hair dressings and hair loations which are much better than this newer stuff now on the market these days which smell like a bouquet of flowers which no man should smell like at all. Men's products are supose supose to smell masculine, the way it outta be!!!!!

    I understand why you made a video about this. Skin Bracer is the best after shave ever! I just love it! Sometimes I use Aqua Velva, and I like it very much too, but I always back to Mennen. Ufortunatelly is not widely available in Central Europe... but is no problem, I have my ways. We have Skin Bracer in the glass bottles, making in Italy od the American licence, but I prefer only original, American version. In my opinion original it's a little bit stronger, and have more menthol. Burns only for a one second, and then we feeling nice and fresh. Fresh, menthol opening, and elegent, powdery dry-down - just perfekt! And my skin after shave feel much better ofcourse. I'm 29, but few years ago I threw all new plastic razors from my house, and I start shaving with classic Gillette Slim Adjustable safty razor from 1965. Great experience. All the best, Sir! Warm greetings from Poland.

    SkinBracer was always my go-to when i was in HS till 30s. Currently im doing Aquavelva which is basically the same class of aftershave. Love both. SKINBRACER reminds me of my granspa and my dad. Its GREAT! brisk sting no Burn. Cools and tones. And of course a GREAT scent.

    I use this stuff along with Aqua Velva after shave loation. Good stuff. Yeah, it's old fashioned and a old man's after shave and fragrance, however I no longer have to try and impress any broads any longer anymore since ttey never took note of me when I used much more expensive colognes, so I just don't care anymore. This stuff works good enough for and by me, so why change?

    But I remember that amazing scent hit me hard! It was so heavenly. When I knew he was standing in front of the mirror, ide always used to interupt him just so I can get a whiff.
