rubbing alcohol, neat
So a couple of years ago, my then-pregnant wife went through a hypersensitive phase in which she couldn't stand the smell of ANYTHING. This included all fragrances, like aftershaves. I figured I'd try straight rubbing alcohol, and I've stuck with it ever since.
Kinda weird, right? Anybody else do the same?Last edited by northpaw; 12-11-2014 at 07:30 PM.

Seems like over time that would really dry your skin out; but...YMMV.

I haven't tried that, but a lot of the aftershaves have alcohol in it....so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I often use a mixture of witch hazel in alcohol with a little bit of glycerin added to it. Hardly any lingering scent and not quite as drying.

Well, they usually add other ingredients too, like for example glycerin which would counteract that(at least D.R. HARRIS's aftershaves contain glycerin but it seems like TOBS doesn't, I don't know how it is with others)
