What's your favorite aftershave?


Guest Talon

Recommended Posts

Hey there guys,

I need to get a good aftershave, the last few ones I've had haven't worked well for me. And anyways, I'm always game for trying something new. I am looking for an aftershave with a nice scent, not any particular kind of scent, and one that is not too hard on the skin. Preferably one that even cools/soothes the skin a little after shaving.

Any suggestions? Would love to hear what your favorites are.

Thanx!

Talon :)

Pinaud clubman, bay rum, or Burt's Bees Aftershave Balm are all subtle. Even better, they won't break the bank and women won't tell you you're overdoing it.

I use Lynx coz it's my partners favourite scent. I don't shave yet so I don't know what it's like after shaving but I have pretty sensitive skin at the best of times and it doesn't irritate or anything.

I use Neutrogina shaving cream and post shave lotion. They both have a nice subtle, but masculine scent. The cream goes on like a lotion, which I like because it makes clean up very quick. And a little goes a long way. The lotion helps soothes and is very light (which is good because I've very oily skin). They have the added bonus of being easy on the wallet.

One thing I've found that helps with burning/irritation is to shave with cold water. They say that shaving with warm water makes it easier, but all that really does is soften the hair. With the hair soft, they tend to bend and not get cut as well. And the temperature alone helps with irritation, I've found.

I am so making a to-try list :) Great to hear your suggestions.

Thanks for the advice on the water temperature! I think that'll make a difference for me as well :thumbsup:

      It's good to hear some positive notes through all the negativity about at the moment. I am not religious but do see a lot of positivity in many things they do, outside of the normal media attention.   Tracy

      From what I understand, my GF's early life was influenced by supremacism.  She sniffed around the edges of a couple of groups, and ended up for a while as part of an armed communist organization.  Mostly, just looking for a place to belong, and something to struggle for (and against).  She's told me about some of it, no doubt just the heavily edited Cliff Notes version.  But she did say that hatred takes effort.  It isn't something you're born with, its something you learn or that develops, often through suffering.    I think perhaps it is easier for children of supremacists to leave and do something different than it is for people who come to it through their own experiences.  When they are shown kindness by folks who are different from them, it begins to crack the wall.

      I've come to the understanding that most Angry and Intolerant people are that way because they haven't discovered their True Self.  So they lash out at others instead of seeking internal discovery ... whatever that is.  So for me ... it is not a Surprise but a welcome Celebration of the individuals Humanity.

      Bravo! @Vidanjali!   Their objective is to steer 'the Youth' in a different (and more conservative/intolerant) direction, but they don't realize they will actually push them away and lose them in the long run.

      Me too @EasyE.  But we are ALL on our own unique Journey.  That's what makes it both Difficult and WONDERFUL. Your Journey is SPECIAL - Only you can experience it and appreciate it.  Speed On, Dear EasyE!!

      @awkward-yet-sweet, bummer about the road trip that isn't. Next time!   @KymmieL, good luck with the job hunting, you deserve it.   @Birdie, I'm happy for you that you have a new connection who seems so supportive!   @Ivy, enjoy!   The issue I referred to in my little grizzle the other day looks like it will resolve itself without conflict. Everything is good. 🙂

      One of the reasons that I hesitated to sign up to this forum originally was because I couldn't think of a femme name for myself. That stems from the fact that I wasn't seeking one, and still don't, although lately I have become a bit curious.   My username has geographical and astronomical connections. It is an indigenous word that describes the Southern Cross constellation.

      Again, thank you for these posts @Sally Stone. As a person just embarking on their own exploration, seeing through an eagle’s eye is invaluable. I can understand the desire to compartmentalize. I’m coming out at 47 and have several military affiliated friends. I never served myself but know them via hobbies we share. I’d be nervous about coming out to those whom I didn’t know very well, but some I do know better are openly ‘queer’. Meeting these people definitely challenged my existing stereotypes about the military in a positive way; more regarding those who comprise the services as opposed to stated protocol/mission.
