View Full Version : There's Something About It...

So, last night I take a late evening shave to test out a straight razor that I had honed up. The honing was good, and I got a good shave; used some Florena shaving cream for the skin conditioning since I didn't know how good or bad the edge would be. Now, I proceed to follow it up with the after shave duties. I decide for Aqua Velva and TAGMSC aftershave milk. Plenty of cooling tingle with softness, and my skin feels good!
Now, I have plenty of other aftershaves, and EdTs. For the most part, I've got a collection that the wife approves of. I will also usually let her have a test of the closeness and smell for approval, here's what happened last night:
Me: "Pretty good shave, huh?"
Wife: "Yeah, smells good. What is it?"
Me: "Well, let me run down the shave for you..."
Wife: :rolleyes:
Me: "OK -- OK. It's the Aqua Velva that your smelling."
Wife: Seriously?!?!
Me: "Yes."
Wife: "Huh. The cheap stuff?"
Me: "There's something about an Aqua Velva man."
After that we have a good laugh at it all. Anyway, I knew a few of you around here would appreciate Aqua Velva's triumph of the day. :D

Good call, thanks for sharing that. I do find that the Velva has a "way" with the ladies ;) :D
Plus, all the "good guys" use it:

When the Aqua Velva goes on my face and Dean Martin starts playing on the ipod, the missus knows she's in trouble. In a good kinda way. ;)
Btw: A buddy of mine who just got started wet-shaving called to let me know he got a compliment on his aftershave from a lovely lady at a local watering hole. Yep, you guessed it. A/V. When he told her what it was she said he had never heard of it. I asked him "how old are the girls at this place!"

+1 on the AV.
Thanks to TJ and Doc for turning me on to this one. Can't believe I walked by this magical elixir for years.
Guess I'll have to use it more than once a day, to make up for lost time!
