    No probs, you may not even want to use aftershave they were just some thoughts based on what quite a few guys here use, personally I gave my alum and witchhazel away as I sort of just stopped using them, both are quite cheap though so it is worth trying. Alum from eBay is pretty cheap, and witchhazel is avail from chemists.
    A tip I got.from Mick was vitamin e cream, it is really good for healing skin, so used as an aftershave balm is nice and soothing.
    Sorry that is all I have got for now.

    Im glad your almost sorted Andrew. I bet you can't wait for the postie!!

    There is so much to learn and to try out. It's almost a sport you know…and you have the rest of your life to enjoy it

    I get great pleasure from shaving and it's great to help a fellow straight shaver as many helped me when I started and still do. This forum really is a great place and its made special by the members for sure.

    I'm about to learn to hone, money for me isn't great as I have a young family and a baby business, but the saving time will give me time to read and ask questions etc, no rush still loving the basics every day and enjoying the advice and banter.

    An aftershave splash on is a good way to get an indicator of how well you shaved. If it stings like a b@stard regardless of how smooth (Or patchy) you are, you were too heavy handed, you razor needs honing or both. Most likely you were too heavy handed.

    If it's just a pleasant short lived tingle, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
