I use various Clubman aftershaves, which are loaded with alcohol. I'm curious, does anyone else freakin' LOVE the few seconds that AS burns after a really close shave?

yes i do, but when it's somebody else's face.
some of us have to be s's to balance you m's...
It's quite normal, the alcohol generates sur a pain that your body tries to fights against it by producing hormons which kind of anestesiate the face skin and potentially makes you feel veeerrryyyy happy.
I don't get that much of a burn, am I not shaving correctly ? :confused:
Do you make two passes, one with and one against? I've noticed that without a shave against the grain the burn off my bay rum clubman is considerably dampened as compared to with it.
And yes, it owns ur faise like real aftershave is supposed to.
Yes,I like it,and what's worse,I like the sting when I get a nick and have to use the ole styptic pencil.....
Yeah, I've been making two passes and then touching up to get BBS.Quote:

You gotta love the burn!
I don't like pain. It hurts me.

I shoot for a BBS shave! ...my proof of the quality of that BBS shave is absolutely no burn with an alcohol based A/S. :tu
Just my opinion!

I love the burn too. You'll find, though, that the better you get, the less the AS will burn.
Still... the cool splash is still pretty satisfying.
I don't really mind the burn, but I like the idea of being able to get BBS and splash it on, without the burn. That would be the best! :DQuote:
