"There's something about an Aqua Velva man"

1. Yeah, they stink.

My dad used to wear that shit.

[MiHale]

2. Mine too...mom didn't like it at all

Wait a minute…

[MLAA]

10. Is your middle name AquaVelva? 💖. Haha

[underpants]

3. Whew

My gaydar just pegged out

4. What blondes have sold us over the last 50 years

"Take it off! Take it all off!"

Edie Adams was an icon for cigars.

5. That was about 15 cents a bottle at the Navy Exchange back in the day

and we wore it to cover up the diesel fuel smell that had permeated our uniforms for eternity. They didn't call diesel submarines Pigboats for nothing.

An U.S. Navy submarine babe magnets, we did not want offend the sensibilities of the female persuasion with offensive odors, so good old Aqua Velva did the job.

As we acquired rank, and an extra buck or two of pay, we upgraded to Old Spice.

6. Old Spice was an upgrade?

Ouch. My dad used that. And the green one, I think it was a Gillette product.

[Submariner]

8. Old Spice was just the white bottle

a few cents more a bottle than Aqua Velva, making it an upgrade.

Green bottle? It sounds like your Dad may have been one of those Hai Karate guys!

9. I'm thinking of Skin Bracer

And he sure was one for English Leather which often came in wooden boxes and turned wood knobby tops. But I could never go for Old Spice.

I barely remember the name Hai Karate. Incredibly on looking it up it was a Pfizer product. Perhaps could be the next covid cure?

[Bucky]

12. Anything Joe Namath endorses is by default an upgrade.

[Elessar Zappa]

7. My dad loves the stuff.

I hate it.

[EYESORE 9001]

11. I knew a guy who loved Aqua Velva

To drink. On the job. Cologne covered the smell of ethyl alcohol.

[RFCalifornia]

13. I'm a Clubman man myself...
