Default Where To Buy Aftershave?

Could anyone please advise me on where I can buy aftershave here in Aus. Some people may say such places like the Chemist Warehouse but they only seem to sell the more expensive brands which a person may wear on a night out. I am after something for when I am at work! Woolies etc only seem to sell moisturising aftershaves which don't interest me as my skin is greasy enough. All I am looking for is some plain normal ordinary Lynx aftershave. Does the job and I don't smell like a whores handbag at work. Woolies sell the deodorant but not the aftershave! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your reply...not tried Priceline but looking at their website they don't seem to stock Lynx and what they do stock are moisturising aftershaves ??

We use Chemist Warehouse at Viccie Point (Bunker Rd just down from the cinema). They definately sell Lynx in there.

We visit Chemist Warehouse in Viccie Poiny regularly as it is our local and I agree, they sell Lynx but only the deodorant. Unfortunately not the aftershave!!

Mmm not so good is it?

What about trying some of the replica aftershave they have down at Chemist Warehouse? A bit cheaper and not so strong in smell.

First, Lynx smells like crap. Use something nice even when you're at work, or don't wear any at all. Lynx is meant for 17 year old boys who don't know yet that it smells horrendous.

Second, moisturising aftershave will not make your skin greasy. Decent moisturiser will actually stop your face from getting greasy in the first place. If your skin is dry it will produce more oil to combat the dryness, but if it's properly moisturised the oil production will be less. Crap like Lynx are full of alcohol which dries your skin, which causes the knock-on effect of increased oil production.

Yeah, the part about the Lynx smelling foul is my opinion. And the opinion of all the women I work with (large hospital, dozens of women in our department, one guy who used to wear it until we all agreed he smelled shite, told him so and he moved on to something nice).

The part about the moisturiser though is fact not opinion. It may take a week or two before you see the benefit, but you will. Ask your Mrs why she uses moisturiser. and if she likes the smell of Lynx aftershave

Try surgical spirit. Stings like a barsteward but sorts your skin out!
