Thread: NOT THE COLOGNE! ANYTHING BUT THE COLOGNE!

So I recently bought one of those Old Spice twin packs, you know the one that comes with both the cologne and the aftershave.

Well, the Cologne is in a bottle pretty much identical to the aftershave but slightly smaller. Unless they were side by side you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference without reading the label. As it turns out the cologne is most definitely NOT the same as the aftershave!

After finishing my shave tonight I reached blindly into the cabinet and produced the cologne. I put it on.

Oh dear lord the pain! It was like lava on my face! And it's not short lived like the pain of aftershave, five minutes later and it still burned! Peri-Peri would burn less!

Definitely won't be repeating this experience again... I'll be moving the cologne as soon as I can move the left side of my face again

Get over it...

Contrary to cork sniffer abuse - Old Spice products are top notch and there's probably a good reason they've been around for more than a hundred years.

Anytime you don't get a good 'sting' when applying an aftershave product take a belt sander to your face and try it again.

I can't wait until you apply a stiptic pencil to a gash on your face. If you ever stop screaming like a little girl we'll be happy to hear of your experience.

Better yet. Lap your face with a DMT 325 and apply aftershave.

Now that really hurts.

I once bought Ammonium Alum, (sold for use as a deodorant), thought it would be similar to Potassium Alum. That felt a trifle sudden, when I used it on freshly shaved skin.

Cologne on a freshly scraped face??!!! Ohhhhhhh/my word!!!! [and ouch besides!]

Actually you misread, I didn't use the aftershave I used the cologne, which is NOT intended for shaving.

Actually, I think I read it perfectly.

Well, I've been using the aftershave for years now without issue

But how long have you been shaving with a straight? There is a whole new level of exfoliation when shaving with a straight compared to cartridge razors, hence the burn.
