The latter item is available over the counter at the Back in Time Barber Shop in Colleyville, in the same shopping center as Market Street, and it is the one they used after giving you a shave. I use all three, although I am out of the Lime at the moment. But those three are my favorite manstinks, with the two Royall products being at the top, followed by the Clubman aftershave......followed closely by a bottle of Pernaud Lilac aftershave.
All for of those are classically dry "manly" smells without reeking of the musks that are so popular these days. Each of them is different enough from the others that you can have a range of scents to use depending on your mood and how you're dressing. I even comb a little of the Bay Rum into my hair once in a while. Of course, remember not to put them on your scentlok hunting clothes, and bring a bottle of doe urine into the stand with you.
When I was a little kid, my father cut my hair with hand clippers, and usually pulled more hair, painfully, than he cut. When I was "old enough" I was taken/sent to the local village barber, who never sharpened or oiled his shears, so they pulled, and irritated the skin too.
My grandpappy had pity on my when I complained and took me to his old fashioned barber shop. Bay rum and Clubman is all I wear. There were occasional side trips to Aqua Velva (I was a teen and "the only girl in the world" liked it, and to Old Spice (easier to find than Bay Rum) and once apon a time I wore Brut until the bottle I found in my girlfriend's bathroom ran out.
I walked into a local scent shop and asked them for Bay Rum and they looked at me like I had two heads and told me they had never heard of it.
These days I buy mine online.
I have used safety razors, electrics, multiblade carts, and a straight blade plus brush and mug.
I don't think I could use a straight razor these days, I shake too much and since I shave my head I can't see enough of the territory to keep from slicing myself up too bad.
