Any recommendations. I appreciate they are very personal but what would people recommend.

Once again on the student budget. I got a D.R Harris Windsor for Christmas and that smells amazing but that is all I have.

Thank you.

Proraso Sandalwood or Cella are great if on a student budget. Always use a daily moisturiser; you will not regret it latter in life.

Old Spice, a classic that everybody should try out, usually available around £7.

Nivea 2 Phase, nice enough fragrance but not long lasting. But (that's) not what it's about, it's an excellent A/S with a moisturiser built in. Check out Superdrug for regular special offers, like 2 for 1 or whatever.

On a student budget? Splash of cold water and spend the money on cider.

+1 for the Nivea Phase 2. They won't smell as sophisticated as the DR Harris but the La Toja and Speick aftershaves are less than half the price of the DR Harris; and outperform it in terms of perfomance, in my view.

superdrugs aftershave splashes and their B. Men aftershave balm is good and can be often found on sale, which means better savings.

+1 for Blue Stratos and Old Spice , both solid performers and excellent value

400ml of Floid Vigoroso or Proraso Green/ Red for £16 works out very cost effective

Even cheaper would be to use witch hazel infused with essential oils to your scent preference if you're not looking for a lasting scent?

Boots and Superdrug own brands are actually rather good, including Boots Bay Rum hair tonic which can be used as an aftershave too! All very reasonably priced for your budget.

Likewise, look for offers in Superdrug for Nivea 2 Phase aftershave. Again very well priced and you'll see this used in a lot of SOTDs.

If you are going to go for Old Spice, buy the Indian version from ebay.

Superdrug may still have the "Bespoke" Eau de Parum range in store. There are 4 flavours and it was buy 1 get one free (£5 each for 100ml) a few weeks back. They're all pretty pleasant esp the Citrus and Vetiver.
