Loving the 'hot' aftershaves...

I'm a huge fan extra menthol and high alcohol content aftershaves.
The Ogallala Special Reserve Bay Rum is some magical stuff in my book - the burning & numbing is at times a little shocking...I just wish my wife enjoyed it as much as I do! :argue:

Fine Snakebite is tops in my book as well - tons of menthol and a great overall post-shave feeling. This goes over much better when the wife is around as well since there is minimal scent that burns off fairly quickly.

DRH Arlington is yet another favorite. High alcohol, fairly hot, and a great scent - I just wish the scent would linger a bit longer. I may have to purchase the cologne as well...

If you like Menthol - try Osage Rub and Alt-Innsbruck (both make my eyes water) I enjoy the Alt more than Osage, it smells better

As long as the Alt-Innsbruck smells better than the Osage I'm in & will add it to my short list...
Thanks!

It does, both smell of menthol and a lot of it IMO, but the Osage has more of a powdery smell to me. Alt-Innsbruck smells old school to me whatever that means....

Tabac and old spice both smell old school to me, both i didn't like when I started straight shaving, thought they smelled like old men, now they are the 2 after shaves I have, sorry tab nowt to do with your OP just a thought on the old school comment.

Bay rum may not be your wife's thing but try cat o nine tails.

Is this a spin on Bay Rum or just similar in application & feel?

Bay rum spin with a burn. You can get a sample from Maggards

I find the Stirling Bay Rum AS to be uncomfortably warm for a minute or so.

Clubman Bay Rum..."The Thing"

If you like the slow burn give Captains Choice: Cat O'Nine Tails a try.

For a great menthol blast and awesome scent, mix Osage Rub and Skin Bracer 50/50. It is my go-to summer aftershave!

How about a refreshing splash of kerosine followed by the subtle hydrating effects of diesel fuel. This burn you speak of so salaciously is called "pain" in developed countries. Tis madness I say!

They have a word for this, Masochistic. :tameshigiri:

If you like menthol, try some menthol crystals!! You can spike just about anything.

I've done a bottle of Proraso post shave cream; Barbasol Pacific Rush; HazoGel.. just about anything works and you control how much or how little menthol you want.

HazoGel is my favorite.. it's a Witch Hazel gel, which by itself has a bit of a cooling sensation, but freezes you with just a few crystals added!!

Nice tip. I've always wanted to try this, but never got around to buying any crystals.
