I have always had difficulty in understanding the Aftershave aspect of shaving. Thinking about it as a "threesome" is, in a very weird kinda way...helpful lol. All three work together, synergistically.

An Aftershave with alcohol is desired for the "burn" and as an antibacterial, and astringent, and it's a plus if it's scented in the complimentary scent of the shaving soap. Yes ?
Yes.

Still another question. Men say they like alcohol for the burn......burn implies heat to me. Does the alcohol have heat? or does it just sting?
Sting. (although for me, "sting" implies "hurt", while "burn" does not)
