Enjoyed this man's animation and appreciation for timeless old school barbershop aftershave. I have read reviews where some old school aftershaves have been skimping on ingredients and the new formulas have a nasty cheap unpleasant perfume odor. I don't care for baby rum or citrus odors. My favorite is the Poraso Eucalyptus. Liked it so much I bought the 13.5 ounce bottle from Walmart on line. Money well spent rilly enjoyed this video makes me want to try the some of these.
Great video Mark....I like the recipe for the soothing tonic...gonna try that. I have some of the ingrown hair issues at the collar line and never knew what to use to make them heal or get better as its tough to shave without irritating that area. As a businessman I hate when that area gets irritated and then messes up your collar line on a nice white crisp dress shirt. I have always just used a styptic pencil but man talk about a burn on your neck. Dude keep up with great vids....like several others have said...Im hooked on the "Proper" wet shave now...def better than the electric razor
my favorite Fine aftershave is Platinum. Never used Floid, but for Christmas I got the PAA Vloid shaving soap and aftershave and I love it. B&M makes great aftershaves too!
I just learned that not to long ago as well. Applying the witch hazel mix & then hitng the balm works great! Enjoyed the video... You have a great collection.
I do not really have a favorite after shave. But I do kknow which after shave people liike the most when I use it. Canoe Sport by Dana. They do not make it anymore. I can find the cologne online, but cannot fiind the after shave anymore. I checked a couple times over the years, and found it a few times on ebay, but it was so expewnsive it was not worth it. I still have around a half a bottle, and cannot find it at all onliine now. Nonethleesss, it is the only after shave I have ever worn that I literally get compliments every single time I weear it. Rarely do I ever get compliments on after shave, but every time I wear Canoe Sport I get complimenets on it. I think it smells good, but others seem to think it smells great. I like it, but only because it makes my face feel soft, and stops irritation, but for some reason others think it is the greatest smell ever.
Absolutely love this video and the way you describe each aftershave! Definitely have to give the tonic a try! Can you apply it in your hands like an aftershave? Or do you have to use a cotton ball?
Fine Italian Citrus is on Amazon uk at around $27 inc del. Castle Forbes "fougere" scent balm is right up there for me amongst the best splash on's. This was a great video - good format and talk/chat accompanying your choices.
Luigi Luigi Fine Accouterments temporally stopped production of Italian Citrus aftershave due to cost and lack of ingredients. This was back during that period. He since started making it again BUT a different formula😡. It’s good and I have it but the original ingredients smells better and unique IMHO.
Mark, if you like Razo Rock's XXX, you'd love the cologne it imitates, Aqua Di Parma. But I warn you, one whiff and there's no turning back. And if you like Floid Blue, you might want to try Razo Rock's "Blue Barbershop."
I never had the pleasure of trying Floid Blue. I understand that Epsilon Blue is in the same vein as the retired Floid product, but supposedly a little less powdery. I have some on order.
for how many years aftershaves and soaps/ creams last i wanna start a collection of mine but because i m shaving 3-4 times a week i dont want to spend my money and after some years my collection is for the garbage
b H this was awhile ago. Since this video I've acquired TOBS Sandalwood and like it very much for fall/winter. As far as PAA's, like you said, to each their own.
Geo Mondiale I really liked the original formula before his new one but yes it’s awesome. Perfect match pairing with Aqua Di Parma Colonia Cologne for the warmer months!
HORACIO MONT Pitron Classic is a very clean scent. If you are familiar with Proraso Green aftershave this will give you an idea of what it smells like. It is slightly different but pretty close. When applied, it goes on very even. It is alcohol based so you get a menthol and refreshing feel. It dries without leaving your face dry and the scent last a good three to four hours. The other Pitron, bigger bottle with red, has a strong citrus smell. One of the ingredients is banana and it can be smelled. It goes on fairly strong but the scent settles after a few minutes and it actually smells better after about 30 minutes. It goes on thicker like a liquid lotion but as it dries, it evens out. I particularly wear it during the summer months. Pairs well with any citrus scented soap or cream. Hope this gives you an idea. Both a reasonably priced so get a bottle of each!
Sterling Archer Omega makes good boar brushes. I feel for boar hair, the longer the better. Here is one Caleb McCullan uses and he really likes it. www.amazon.com/Omega-Shaving-10098-Professional-Bristle/dp/B002V40IS2/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494995465&sr=8-7&keywords=Omega+boar+brush
Fine American Blend: Made from a blending of fine high octane racing fuels used used in NASCAR, IHRA and NHRA RACING. Guaranteed to be over 104 octane! Warning, it may attract pro racing crew chiefs.
Pitralon is Italian not Swedish....i know because i waited long time for it to arrive ordered it on a danish website they said it is an Italian product..but kinda strange on the same website it says the product is made in Germany Googled it and another site also says AKA German product pitralon.com/en/ its German this is the English site though...i could put the German i understand German not sure you do though...oh you mention the product Fine...its new to us in Denmark or at least the site i buy from
Pitralon is a confusing brand. There are, as I understand it, three versions of Pitralon, one made in Germany, one made in Switzerland, and one made in a former Eastern Block country, perhaps the Czech Republic. Each formulation is different. The Swiss version is pineapple dominant. The German version is pine forest dominant.

Aqua Velva musk...any store cheap ..really good

Nice video. Which ones are similar to lustray blue spice. It's light fresh and blue.
Italian Citrus really is AMAZING. My second favorite next to their American Blend. I like the Floyd Black.
Belated Happy birthday. I'm 3 years and a few months late but better late than never. Ordered one of the after shaves you suggested.
Pity After Shave is one of those grey areas when shipping abroad. Italian Citrus is available here in the UK. I'd have sent you a bottle!
I've seen this video 3 times! You rock!
my favorite Fine aftershave is Platinum. Never used Floid, but for Christmas I got the PAA Vloid shaving soap and aftershave and I love it. B&M makes great aftershaves too!
Thanks for your after shave video Mark I really enjoyed it. I recently got into wet shaving and I'm hooked! I have been watching your videos.
Joey Bengtson I agree. It’s been awhile since making this video but you’re exactly right.
I just learned that not to long ago as well. Applying the witch hazel mix & then hitng the balm works great! Enjoyed the video... You have a great collection.

Aj Gross you can apply with using your hands. Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome Collection Sir!
Mark, thanks for the makeshift skin tonic recipe. I'm gonna make a batch today!
Bill Phillips I hope it works for you. Thanks for subscribing.
please make a review about Dinegro aftershave from portugal, and Tabex from portugal too.. Thank you
I never had the pleasure of trying Floid Blue. I understand that Epsilon Blue is in the same vein as the retired Floid product, but supposedly a little less powdery. I have some on order.
I sparingly use my Floid Blue. It has a great scent/sillage and it performs all day.
@@markdayoc3907 Sadly, the Epsilon Blue arrived broken. The box smells nice!
@@ivermec-tin666 that’s too bad.
Nice Mark. I'll have to get the recipe for the soothing tonic. Couldn't see it on my screen.
Fine Italian Amazon...It must have made a come back.
Tend skin is the best on the market
Used it for awhile but my shaves became way better between honing and technique. Not needed. There are some great aftershaves from around the world.
im buying all of these thanks
I'm a fan. I want them all!
Sterling Archer pace yourself and I recommend sticking with the classic's.
for how many years aftershaves and soaps/ creams last i wanna start a collection of mine but because i m shaving 3-4 times a week i dont want to spend my money and after some years my collection is for the garbage
Mine have stayed good. I have given some to new wet shavers and even thrown some away or down the drain for simply not reaching for them.
I would suggest using everclear (ethanol) instead of rubbing alcohol.
surfzombie2 give it a try and tell us how it goes!
I already amke my own aftershave with it and it work great.
Great video. Very informative.
Not a bad list you have. Each their own!!! But where were the sandalwoods??? Maybe even some PAA??
b H this was awhile ago. Since this video I've acquired TOBS Sandalwood and like it very much for fall/winter. As far as PAA's, like you said, to each their own.
Fine Italian Citrus... it's the best
Geo Mondiale I really liked the original formula before his new one but yes it’s awesome. Perfect match pairing with Aqua Di Parma Colonia Cologne for the warmer months!
Mark... Great vid. I seem some great Clubman PRODUXXX in there. You run a tight ship, brother. Are you from Arkansas? Keep smelling good!!!!
Thanks this has been awhile back. I’m originally from Kentucky but now live in Eastern NC.
Please post a review of Swiss Pitralon. Thank you

A Excellent Video. There is the German Tabac I like. Also do you know of the American made lucky Tiger? I like it too..Lucky Tiger goes back to 1935..
La Belle Vie both are good indeed! I like Tabac and it could have been in here as well.
What is your recommendation for a good starter brush? I was going to buy a boar brush....
Sterling Archer Omega makes good boar brushes. I feel for boar hair, the longer the better. Here is one Caleb McCullan uses and he really likes it. www.amazon.com/Omega-Shaving-10098-Professional-Bristle/dp/B002V40IS2/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494995465&sr=8-7&keywords=Omega+boar+brush
Thanks Mark I'll give it a try.

Great video.
That's a lot of aftershave you have there.
I admit; more than one needs!😏
10:53 You should get yourself the 12.5 oz version. You get more product than that little one.
How much vermouth do you add to that La Toya?
Dude, with all that alcohol on you avoid candlelight dinners.
fire hazard
