How much would you spend on an aftershave?

[Yellow Fang]

I just saw on YouTube that Johnny Depp was in an advert for Eau Sauvage Dior during the Great British Bake Off. I looked it up, and it cost £110 for 100ml. That's about 10x as much for a good Japanese Scotch. I've never used aftershave at all. Women are lucky if I wash my armpits. So who uses aftershave?

I would like to understand more about your success rate with women before committing myself.

My Lad has 'El Sausage' as he calls it, usually a Xmas or Birthday present from us.

Very infrequently, and when I do it's Aldi's finest, probably £2.99 for loads.

I've never used aftershave. When I was a teenager it was known as 'poof juice'. Henry Cooper's adverts for Brut changed all that.

Not that great, but at least I have not wasted any money on aftershave.

OK. We might not have the same definition of the word "wasted".

" Japanese Scotch"?

I fancied some Floris No 89 Eau de Toilette after hearing about it on a You Tube video.

I've seen a 100 ml bottle on fleabay for £66. I might not like it that much,so i've ordered a 1.5 ml sample for £4.50. I'll try it and if it's nice i'll buy the 100 ml bottle.

Not used since a teenager

If you order bacon, eggs, sausages, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms in a hotel in Tokyo you get a Full English Breakfast. The fact that it was made in Japan is irrelevant.

£2.99 buys enough Brut 33 to last for a year of bird pulling.

From experience you still get it with chopsticks though.

I once caused quite a stir in a Japanese restaurant by not asking for a knife and fork...

That Johnny Depp stuff will be dead cheap shortly given he is not too popular - Dead Man's Chest and all (pun).

I've paid a fair amount for stuff MrsF likes (perfume), but for me, I rarely wear it, and have bottles of stuff. I find a little travel pack of five is probably more use to me.
