Favorite type of after shave?
« 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.

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.

 Nope on the advice. I need the job security... ;D

 Hopefully they aren't too expensive. Ours are only like $15.

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