Don't be dissin my deodorant. :) The Italian chicks love it. A little pesto sauce ASB works wonders too. Drives them nuts. That poor bottle of Aqua Velva I have is collecting dust in the bottom cabinet way in the back. It might see the light of day someday.

I think I'll pass on that one. I don't do musk. But the original Doc Mottern combo is now my go-to after shave treatment.

Not a musk fan?

Well glad to see the other works for you too (I still use it :)).

Well, I went and done it. I got home last night and washed my face and then put a light splash of Aqua Velva Ice on my face. Stayed away from the wife for about 15 minutes and then got near her. She said, "what's that?" I said, "Aqua Velva Ice." She said "You going out on a date?" I said "nope, just testing." She said, "you should try something else." :)

[berzerkeleyan]

Not a musk fan?

Well glad to see the other works for you too (I still use it :)).

I tried the Musk version for the first time yesterday. It was a little too, er, strong for me. But the original is great. And I have you to thank, Doc, for evangelizing it so much.

Dude !! my bad, I dont know about AV "Ice" !
Shouldve been more clear.
AV Classic and AV Musk are the ones I like.
Sorry.

Now, you tell me. :) That's OK, I needed to clean the sink drain anyway. I'm sure I can track down a sample of classic or musk and try again. If all else fails, I can go to the drug store and ask the clerk to let me try some just before going home. Of, course, I might get a few extra questions about where I've been and what's her name. :signs081

A little goes a long way. It may suit you better as and EDC. Just put a little bit behind the ears and on your wrist.

[ada8356]

I thought the AV Classic actually said something Classic Ice Blue or something similar on the label.

Are there others than there:

Classic
Musk
Sport (or maybe this is the one called 'Ice'?)

[crackstar]

you know what, the Aqua Velva Musk is not bad! I tried on a little yesterday, I might just buy myself a bottle tomorrow.

Aqua Velva - 7 oz. - $4.49
That smell reminding me of my dad on a Sat. morning - priceless

I really do love using this stuff, as well as Old Spice on the weekends when I'm just hanging out with the kids. I'll never be without it.

[Smedley]

I like the Aqua Velva Ice Blue, but Musk will be my next purchase.

[Lynchmeister]

Can someone tell me how to join the likes of Norman Rockwell and Major George Fielding Eliot in the Aqua Velva After-Shave Club? I've been waiting a long time for something like this to come around and now it's finally here!

Classic Ice Blue

Ice Balm and

Doc, if I'm not mistaken, your combo is in bold, right? Didn't you say you had another mix 'n match? What was that?

[Mottern Man]

It is the Aqua Velva Ice Blue and the Musk. :D

Also the Velva, Proraso combo (also the Velva, Nivea combo)

Aqua Velva "Ice Sport" is awesome! Great cooling properties, but the cooling doesn't last as long as Proraso a/s or Osage.

[sysiphus]

Classic Ice is the only A/S I use! (Course, it's the only one available, but still the only one I use!) Hope the wife likes it, cause there may be trouble iffen she don't!

Did you try it on?

It can change the scent once you put it on yourself. It will mix with your body chemistry.

If it still doesn't smell good, maybe it's just you. :D

And last but not least; number one rule- YMMV (your mileage may vary)

[Capt America]

yea I tried it on.

When smelling it at the store it smelled great. It was upon application that I realized it smelled weird.

[Baloosh]

In all seriousness, I hate when that happens to me. I feel your pain.

I've had a couple scents do that to me so far. Really sucks when it happens. Luckily for you, it was one of the el Cheapo ones like AV.

So I tried the Aqua Velva again today and the smell wasn't so offensive.

I prefer the scent of Skin Bracer(blue).

The funny thing is that I picked up a bottle of velva a few years back (4-5?) and was absolutely disgusted by the scent. :confused:

[TraderJoe]

:drool :drool :drool

Smell any diffrent?

Yes, yes it does. My guess is that to the "average" nose, there might not be a noticeable enough difference....but an aficionado like you would certainly notice:

1) Smoother scent, not as potent
2) More powdery-like scent
3) less menthol

The pour spout is wide, and so it comes out in very large quantities if you're not extra careful....and this is the only low mark I can give it.

Overall, however, I like it better than the US version :happy088

Don't worry... you'll get yours soon enough, buddy boy...::duel ::kar

[Straight Arrow]

I'm 51 and never used after shave until this year. I started out cautiously with a few different kinds like Old Spice and Skin Bracer that I got from my Dad. They weren't too bad but then I accidentally fell into a bottle of Velva. I'm still in there and I won't come out!

[TraderJoe]

fell into a bottle of Velva. I'm still in there and I won't come out!

My Man! ::git

[minderasr]

Just to stir the pot. :eek:

I'm still a nay-sayer. I've reluctantly tried some of this cheap garbage, and the negative responses I've received from the ladies fell along the lines of "what the hell are you wearing?". It didn't go over well at all.

Even though I do use Old Spice and Pinaud Clubman (these two still get positive responses from the ladies), I prefer the more sophisticated AS/EDTs such as Penhaligon's Opus 1870, Pecksniff's Oriental Woody, Floris Santal, and Knize 10. I've never had a negative reaction to any of these scents, in fact overwhelmingly positive.

So label me a blasphemer, call me a witch and burn me at the stake, or maybe firing squad at dawn. They'll be no more $6 AS's in my medicine cabinet!

:D

[Sejanus]

I used to use and still have a bottle of AV and really it didn't do anything special for me. I never really got any comments about it either. I don't dislike it but I don't see the reason behind the huge following either, except that the colours they come in are nice and vibrant. Not that that should matter..:rofl

Label me neutral I guess. :D

[Scorpio]

Well, guessing form the last few post, you Velva bunch turn more away than you brainwash into your sinister and dreadful and smelly minions. :D

That's what I believe to be the box that held the original "Williams Aqua Velva", which came out in 1929, remained in production into the mid to late fifties and looked like this:

I have a feeling that the "original sport" (green version) released recently in Canada is a remake of this original 1929 version.

Neale, I'm afraid the antique Aqua Velva's don't hold up as well as say, Old Spice....and I think its a factor of clear-bottle vs. Opaque.

However, Rich says that his Aqua Velva (original) from ~1950 has held up pretty well......but the Ice Blue's I have from later dates have faded rather dramatically :sad024

[Padron]

Thanks Joe for the heads up,

I am pretty happy with the AV I have...( Musk, Ice Blue ) so I guess I will not have to seek the vintage brew out... I would still like to get in on the group buy for the green type from the northern lands if that comes together...

Thanks!

Aqua Velva is the aftershave equivalent of raw testosterone.

ALL women are attracted to it, but the man wearing it has to know how to wear it to "pull it off"

A blind man once stepped on Aqua Velva's shoe. Aqua Velva said, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Aqua Velva!" The mere mention of its' name cured this man's blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse kick delivered by Aqua Velva.

I like AV Musk, and the other cheapies (Old Spice, Clubman, Mennen, but I simply can't stomach the smell of AV Classic Ice Blue once the alcohol dries. I bought a bottle about a year ago, dumped it down the drain. After hearing the continuous litany of praise on the forums, I figured I must be missing something, so I bought it again. But down the drain it also went. Man, does that stuff stink to my schnoz!!

Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva were the only things my father would allow me to use when I was first leaning how to shave. If your shaving technique sucks, these products (especially the Skin Bracer) will let you know!! I still love using them today.

Great stuff! I use the Musk regularly.

It's truly amazing how long some threads last, isn't it? Especially given the topic at hand here! Not saying it's good or bad, but IT'S A GROCERY STORE PRODUCT for Pete's sake!!

So, buy some already. If you like it, great! If you don't, you're out 5 bucks.

Or you could sell it to Will for $10.

Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue Aftershave Lotion

Under $5.00 for a 3.5 oz bottle (a real glass bottle). It can’t be that simple. There must be something they’re not telling us.



Sometimes simple is best...

$5.00 for a 3.5 oz bottle? I can get a 7oz bottle for just over $4 at my local drugstore. Something's not right here.

As much as I use this stuff, my guess is something addictive.

windshield wiper fluid...in a bottle.

Also available at Walton & Sons Emporium or your local Megalomart.

Sparky, I think you've nailed it. It must be the "Agent Blue" that makes addicts of us. No wonder some men are reduced to drinking the stuff.

J.B. Williams must have been a devious man.

ok ok...I can do Old Spice, but...this stuff is just -- well it FEELS fine, but after a while the smell just kind of...its not as bad as stale axe but....augh I can't put it into words! But it isn't good!

I'll admit Aqua Velva isn't a particularly fragrant scent, but it still smells clean and very manly.

By your description I would say your body chemistry and AV probably don't blend well together.

Well, after reading this thread, I just had to go out and buy some. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for my razor, brush, and soap to arrive, so I had to use my Fusion with the fusion Gel.

OUCH!

Smell nice though, and the extreme burning went away, so all is good. :D

Very probably

Oh, hi, hello Shave Den dudes.. so my first post here on the site is in the AV thread. I had me some years back when I was but a bachellor. I don't even think I really used it correctly (I kept it on my dresser in the bedroom, what does that tell you). Anyway, I don't know what happened to it, I either threw it away or dumped it out at some point.

Picked up a bottle a few months back and am now an avid fan. I love the feel when putting it on, I love how it makes my face feel, even hours later I like the scent, but it really isn't an issue because, I don't need to use so much that the people around me actually smell it.

What I find interesting is that it actually compliments some of my colognes, ranging from expensive stuff like Floris 89 all the way to Ogallala Bay Rum.

I like the Musk too, but I actually use that as a cologne, it's just a bit too strong of a scent to be right on my face...

on a side note, I recently picked up a bottle of Skin Bracer.. LOVE IT TOO. It wears very sweet after several hours, even leaning towards sandalwood or vetiver.. I don't know what the notes are but I really dig it.

Wife: Honey, I just found a bottle of Aqua Velva in the refrigerator. Do you know anything about that?

Me: I put it there, dear. I thought if I chilled it, it would add to the cooling affect when I splash it on my face.

Wife: Sweet heart, do you have a drinking problem?

Me: Hun? What are you talking about?

Wife: I’ve heard that sailors drink Aqua Velva and you were in the Navy. Do you have more bottles of AV hidden around the house?

Me: Hey, I don’t have a drinking problem. I read at the shaving forum that putting AV in the fridge gave it a little extra zing when you splash it on the face.

Wife: Shaving forum? You belong to a shaving forum? Mother warned me that she thought you were a little strange.



Just another day in the life of a shaving geek.

An AV sticky that's had a year hang time. Sweeeet Velva :signs021. Doesn't get daily use but it's in the rotation.

[Pokerstar]

I have it on VERY good authority that the super secret, active ingredient in each and every bottle of Aqua Velva is........








1 solitary drop of Chuck Norris' sweat.

Is that a treet in your picture? What are your thoughts on it? I bought one last Winter, and just have not been able to justify to myself using it on my face....shaves like a rusty pair of scissors if you all know what I mean :-)

[Kapp EO]

Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva were the only things my father would allow me to use when I was first leaning how to shave.

My dad bought me a bottle of Stetson when I first started shaving. :D

Skin Bracer smells like Play-Doh.

Bought a bottle of Aqua Velva Ice Blue tonight just to see what the buzz is all about. What a clean, classic, timeless scent...and it gets even better after the alcohol fades away. I love it!! It will be a permanent fixture in the Ursa shave den.
