    I don't think I've had Listerine in my house since I was a kid. Hated it. But I may have to buy some just to try it as an aftershave. Can't be any worse than that Trumper's abomination, Skin Food...and at a fraction of the price.

    On an average day, Bay Rum. For something special or evening out I skip the AS and go straight to an edt/cologne... Guerlain Vetiver Extreme or Lagerfeld, depending on the mood. My skin isn't sensitive, so I don't see a need for balms or alcohol-free. [​IMG]

    I feel a need.. A need for ALCOHOL!!

    • L'Occitane CADE
    • Speick
    • Pitralon (German version)
    • SCS Mediterranean Citrus
    • Aqua Velva


    Non-alcohol based--
    • plain ole Witch Hazel
    (I can't really think of any others that I have or used that didn't have alcohol in them?!?!)

    I have some Gillette brand balm, but I don't use it anymore because I switched to:

    Old Spice (the new kind in the plastic bottle)

    It might not be the original formula, but it's still got a nice burn...:cool: I've also been known to use Skin Bracer.
