Unfortunately, there is something in the formuation that gives me a massive headache. Used to have to wear the stuff everyday in boot camp, and had a 90day dull throbbing headache. So, I suppose I am in the silent minority that just can't wear it. I suppose however, that just means more for y'all.

I see what you mean... almost everybody has an "olfactory nemesis". For me it would be either scents which are very sweet or frags with way too much patchouli.

That was my first thought as to what can cause the headache...

She says there is an underlying scent of something that is just off putting to her. Other menthol is fine, just that particular scent.

For years and years I used Old Spice but after they changed the bottle to plastic and the logo from a clipper to a sailboat the formula seamed to change (it just doesn't hang on very long), then to make matters worse they jacked the price up. I just switched I brought the wife along and after opening a couple of different things we picked AV and I just love it. None of my male relatives ever used anything other than OS so there is no real association with AV so thAt makes it kinda unique to me. Way back in the late '70s when I began to shave my grandma used to give me English Leather. Then I started buying OS for myself.
My Uncle liked Canue, is that even available any more?
Well that's my story.

Today it was Aqua Velva Ice Blue to me (can't post it because of the unmentionables ). But everytime I use it I wonder to myself the entire day (the scent lasts all day long) why do others ASL don't treat my skin like this??? And the scent...soooooo good. A real must have to every wetshaver. Such a pity it isn't easy to get it, on this side of the pond, and for a reasonable price.

Everyone should have access to cheap AV.

I too like Williams Mug soap. I can't seem to find it in stores anymore, I liked Colgate too. All I can find in retail stores these days is VDH. I loved the days when you could get Williams for $0.89 in almost any grocery or drug store 😞
Why is it that the bean counters can't leave well enough alone?
Small profit is better than no profit. Even if you only sell one puck of $1.00 Williams shave soap to one guy twice a year(you might be his favorite grocery store just because you Cary his soap) he will keep coming back to get it! But stop carrying it and he might not ever set foot in you store again.
Just sayin'!

But I do like using the AV Musk for layering with just about everything! But sometimes, nothing quite takes me back, like a good healthy splash of Ice Blue....Make no mistake....I'm a huge fan!
