I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I'm going to catch a lot of flack for sure. First of all viva la AVCL (Anti Velva Citizens League). OK, I got that out of the way. The is the number one drugstore, supermarket, bargain bin aftershave sold in the world probably. OK, I don't know if it is or not but they sure sell a hell of a lot of the stuff. Let me make this clear. I DID NOT buy this. It was a gift along with the balm. :) My wife even tortured me with wrapping it up and re-gifting what was already something that was mine. Sheesh. Now, what do I think of it. Well, I do like to use it after exercising on occasion. It has really nice cool down properties after a creating a big sweat on the Treadmill. So, it does have at least one redeeming quality. Toilet bowl cleaner is another one. AV does have decent skin properties too. Should have used it in WW I for chemical warfare. War would have been over much quicker. It's been classified as an WMD. It's officially classified as a terrorist threat under Homeland Security rules. OK, joking aside. Many people like Aqua Velva and swear by it. Many people can't stand it. You have to try it for yourself and decide. Are you A.C.L.V. or H.A.V.O.C.? Seriously though for me it's a decent product once I get past the initial splash into dry down. The smell overpowers my sensibilities when it first goes on. Much tamer and pleasant once it dries and the room clears.
Now the balm is a different story. I'd put it on a par with a Nivea or Neutrogena over the counter products and it has a much tamer scent.
I used Aqua Velva Ice Blue many years ago when i was in the Army and then for some reason i stopped using it. I bought a bottle of it and i would really like to get back into using it. My concern is will it dry my skin and cause wrinkles?
