I had a bit of After Shave "AD" in the beginning, but it's "MUCH" better now....

 

I used to love to use aftershave splashes: Green Skin Bracer, Original Aqua Velva, at one point Aqua Velva Frost Lime (long since gone), Walgreen's (Pinaud?) Bay Rum. I have even used original Listerine and it didn't sting at all but a real nice cooling sensation as it contained Menthol, Eucalyptol, and Thymol. Nowadays, my skin has become extremely dry and flaky due to a psoriasis type condition I have, so now what I do after shaving is slather on a bunch of intensive care skin lotion or some lotion with Vitamin E/Aloe Vera/Coco Butter etc... and it seems to work pretty well.

 

I have Osage Rub (not really my thing,) Thayer's Witch Hazel Rose Petal, Proraso Pre/Post Cream, Juicy Couture Dirty English, Grooming Lounge Best for Last Aftershave. I put the witch hazel on first to soothe my skin, wait a few minutes then put on a balm. I don't want to smell like an old lady, but luckily the rose scent is not that strong and doesn't conflict.

 

One.

I have a relative and some friends who are allergic to some scents.
Their comfort and welfare are important to me.

My bath soap, Irish Spring, does not bother them.

If I am clean I need not cover up objectionable odours.

I have zero in my den. I just cold water splash and my skin almost always feels good from the soap.

 

Quite a few!

 

My routine is: warm water rinse to get the soap off, cold water rinse, Thayers WH without alcohol, Alum, then one of the following.

Osage Rub
Iced Sub Zero Milk
Pinaud Clubman
Old Spice
Aqua Velva Ice Sport

Just picked up an A/S cream from a local artisan, and have some lime Hai Karate on the way. The HK I got because that is what my dad always used. Maybe that was because we kept giving it to him for Christmas.

 

I have too many in my rotation.. It's too embarrassing to count.

 

One Aqua Velva! Best stuff there is, in my (very limited) opinion!

 

I have currently (and had for quite a while) the same 5 after shaves in rotation - Musgo Real, Speick and from D.R. Harris the Bay Rum, Arlington and Marlborough.

Since a couple of weeks however, I basically only use the Musgo, somehow I do not enjoy the D.R. Harris after shaves anymore (scent is still great, my face just doens't seem to like them any longer...)

 

I think I have about a dozen. Oh, wait a second, I just bought a bottle of Lucido here in Bangkok so that makes it 13.

Hmm... 13... not a lucky number of aftershaves so guess I will be quickly getting another one.

 

Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Splash

 

13 aftershaves.

 

I only have two, the Proraso ones. New and old formula
I have found that I prefer aftershave without any perfume in it, and those two seem to fit the bill.
They have a discreet scent, but with little staying power.

However, I do have a few dozen samples, and more is on the way. Trying to find more splashes to add to my rotation

 

I have a lot, but there always seems to be one more that needs to be tried... Current favorite is Clubman Vanilla!

 

I only have a few in rotation:

-Switzerland Pitralon
-Tüff
-Floid Blue
-Bello Bay Rum
-Pinaud Clubman
-Alpa 378
-Alt Innsbruck
-Myrsol "Formula Extra"

I like how everything's in alphabetical order (except for the talcs), it's the sign of an organized mind. As an engineer I appreciate that, although I must admit my kids think I'm a bit anal retentive

 

What do you see as the benefit of using alum after the witch hazel? I haven't tried this, as I thought alum was always used immediately after shaving and a cold water rinse, but I'm still learning.
