Title: Favorite type of after shave?
Post by: omegapd on June 02, 2010, 02:26:46 AM

Of all the types of after shave out there, which one do you prefer? Let's say for both face and head...

Please comment below if I forgot a certain type or you use a combination of them. I don't think you can vote twice.  ;)

For me, I used an alcohol splash/ witch hazel for years- burn and all- but have recently started trying balms and prefer them. My favorite is Everyman Jack Cooling Gel or C.O. Bigelow's Black after shave balm (lotion) when I want to change it around some.

For me, it has to be a combination:

First an astringent, Thayers Original Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, followed by Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm.

As a general rule I don't use anything after I shave.  In the winter when my skin is dry I use a little BaldGuyz Moisturizing gel.

Old Spice all the way around.

A combination here: on my dome I use Gillette after-the-shave gel, which is cooling menthol, then a while later some gillette moisturiser to make it SHINE!

On my face I use aftershave: Aramis, Armani Code or sometimes Joop! or CKone 8)

I use a couple splashes of cold water and sometimes some generic Witch Hazel.  After that I apply a moisturizer with SPF.

Bald Guyz Moisture gel is hands down my favorite, but I do use a few others in my rotation.

I used to use Old Spice, but my girlfriend (now my wife of 28 years) insisted it made me smell like an old man, LOL. She went out and bought me some Tuscany and that's what I've used ever since.

I use Nivea for men lotion with SPF of 20 or Bald Guyz moisturizer, they both work great.
