    2. Cold water rinse
    3. Lavender scented which hazel

  15. Tazorac, I like the astringent & sanitizing effect of the alcohol. Plus, I love the burn.
    I moisturize with my product of choice directly after the AS application to counteract any drying.

    Works for me.

  16. Now retired , I ALWAYS have the time!
    After rinsing off the soap and do a pat dry, I use my OWN concoction of aftershave balm.
    Here is my present fantastic mix.

    Thayer witch Hazel
    Aloe Vera
    Sheabutter
    Jojoba oil
    Vitamin E
    Coconut oil
    Avocado oil
    LUCKY TIGER aftershave
    LAB SERIES Anti aging serum
    Nivea Post shave balm sensitive.

    Fill several amber pharmaceutical bottles and one travel size plastic bottle with spout top.
    I'm delighted with the outcome. I even apply after I wash my face without shaving at night. My 76 year old skin has visibly improved.
    . Even my brother and our close friends swear by it.

  17. Rinse, splash, and in drier months a balm a bit later on in the evening.
  18. Rinse, apply witch hazel, apply after shave, fend off the wife. Kind of like living in an Axe commercial... Without using Axe.
  19. Cold water, Thayers witch hazel, Nivea balm, aftershave. (I find that if I apply the aftershave before the balm, the former's scent will be mitigated by the latter.)
