SotD: I Know, This is Terrible!

We all have to start somewhere! This is my full disclosure! This is where I'm at, and this is where I'm starting from!

I have not worn a fragrance of any kind for two decades or so. Last year, a family emergency called me back home. I found this Gillette Cool Wave aftershave in the medicine cabinet, and as I have also started shaving again after many years, I decided, what the heck, may as well try it!

I understand, the reason for using alcohol-based aftershave was to cauterize the skin to prevent infection, but it seems like that's no longer the fashion these days. That said, I do enjoy the scent of this, but it doesn't last long. 1-2 hours, if I'm lucky!

I'm also using a modern skin lotion I've acquired on my face after shaving and applying a small amount of this aftershave. So it's not all bad!

I just thought you guys would probably get a laugh out of the closest thing to "fragrance" currently in my possession. I'm looking forward to upgrading to something better soon!
