I love this stuff. I can not say that I like it better then the Ice Blue, but it is a very very nice after shave also. What about the rest of you. I do not see this in the SOTD much. Any one else think it should probably be used more?

I use Ice Blue regularly but haven't tried the AV Musk. I think I'll pick up a bottle sometime soon. I've been contemplating that for some time now.

There ya go Jeff. Live a little. Don't let that Canadian put you off the AV You know us Canadians!!! Actually, one time I was in a larger grocery store getting bored while the wife was picking up some food items. I headed over to the pharmacy section and came across the AV, I think the classic one, not sure the specific name. I felt awfully devilish and popped one up and took a whiff. Not bad I though. Then, I snuck a splash outta the bottle and rubbed it on the back of my neck. Justified it as 'checking out the product with a sample'. Hmmm. Anyhoo - we get in the car after getting the groceries and AYE CARAMBA!!! The whole car was taken over with the scent of this stuff. It was totally pervasive and almost brought tears to both of our eyes!! I couldn't wait to get home and wash it off. Anyway. That was my experience and I've been scared of it ever since!! Darn Canadians eh?

I used some this morning - about 1/4 as much as I use of the average AS. I could smell it distinctly all day long. In fact, I can still smell it...and that's after being in a smoky bar for a couple of hours this evening.

I think the Blue has a longer and stronger lasting power than the Musk. I have a bottle of the Musk and use it more as a cooling effect. Late in the day in summer if I rinse off my face I'll follow that up with the Musk. Makes me feel cool and clean. I probably use the Musk more than the Blue (which I prefer) just rarely use it for shaving. That's reserved for the Blue.

Fuzzy,
I like it and use it too. What a barbershop smelled like when I was a kid. It is cheap enough to use more often but I do like colognes better than the after shave stuff. The scent from the colognes seem to last a good bit longer.
So when there is no special occasion I use the AV stuff but when I am going out to something special I go with Royall Musk EDT.
As for the other AV products. Hey, I have used them all it seems. Been using AV products on and off since I began shaving almost a lifetime ago.

Well, the first time I wore AV it was the Ice Blue and my wife said she loved it........Well several days later I Picked up a bottle of AV Musk.... I splashed in the car, cause I couldn't wait to check it out....I dug it...I know its like early 70's but it really doesn't seem retro to me....Then I drove the 2 miles home and....Man, as soon as I walked into the house my wife comes over and says, you're wearing a different cologne aren't you ? And this is the best....she held my freshly splashed face and pulled it close to her so she could get a good sniff, then she sniffed her hands and said, "Thats it!! This is my favorite! " So there you go...SWMBO has placed her vote....ha,ha. So Fuzzy....you mentioned you thought it should be used more around here.....Well I can tell you its gonna be used more around my shave cave...
