    Default Love the Aftershave burn... lol

    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?

    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.

    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.
