Given you have the time..What is your POST-SHAVE ritual?

I need it when the weather is cold.

 

1. Cold water rinse
2. Neutrogena alcohol-free toner or Thayer's WH
3. AS

 

Superstar.

 

Warm water rinse, cold water rinse, lightly pat face with towel and then apply after-shave balm.

Afterwards, periodic faceturbation remains entirely possible...

 

Since discovering Dragonsbeard soap, my post-shave routine is much easier:
Shave using Dragonsbeard
Cold water rinse
Thayers witch hazel
TSD Bourbon & Vanilla AS splash

Enjoy fantastic post-shave for 8 - 12 hours.

I'm so impressed with the soap I'll be getting the skin food when their new Ethos product line of shaving soap & skin care products comes out in the next month.

 

Warm water,Cold water, Pat dry with towel.Nivea balm and aftershave

 

Cold water rinse, dry face, aftershave, and fragrance(cologne).

 

Vitos Pre/Post Shave, Witch Hazel, After shave or balm

 

Witch hazel or aftershave, sometimes both. Then a shave balm or lotion.

 

I use AS, let it cool down my skin, when it dried up I use my favorite anti-aging face lotion

 

Witch Hazel w/aloe + Osage Rub mixed 50/50. Soothes and cools. Love it and use it every shave.

 

This thread is almost 8 years old; I responded back at post #7.
But seeing that it has been resurrected, it got me to thinkin'...
How long does it really take to slap on some after shave and get a spritz of cologne? Seriously? "Given the time..."???
If you don't have time for that, you really didn't have time to start the shave in the first place!

How many Piggly Wiggly shirts ARE there??

 

My post shave routine is to first rinse with cold water. I then rub an alum block over my still wet face to ease any irritation. I rinse the alum off with cold water after I have cleaned all my implements. I dry my face off and then apply some T.N. Dickinson’s witch hazel using a cotton ball or small facial pad. I let that dry on my face. Once I’ve cleaned up the sink and bathroom I then will apply an aftershave. I have several but my favs are Pinaud Clubman, Clubman Lime Sec and RazoRock’s Blue Barbershop.-

 

cold water rinse,aftershave and relax.work shave the same,going out,thayers astringent ,unscented balm or splash,pacific shave co mostly,then edt/edp/cologne as needed..

 

Stirling witch-hazel .... dry time followed with after shave.

 

Cold water rinse, feels so good, followed by alum block, always! I even put some alum on my crows feet around my eyes. Kind of tightens em up. Then about 10 minutes later, another cold water rinse, followed by balm or aftershave.

This is often done with a scotch on the rocks next to me.

 

Warm water rinse
Alum
Clean brush, razor, and bowl
Rinse off Alum
Pat face dry
Thayers or Stirling Witch hazel
Air dry
If winter, AS balm
