I have read in numerous places that skin drying alcohol based aftershaves are the last thing your skin needs after being shaved. However, the bumps, ingrown hairs, acne, and bacterial growths it avoids is second to none. Sure, your face may have a couple red spots for 15 minutes, but I usually find it to be worth it. Also, I may be incorrect, but havent these alcohol based aftershaves withstood the test of time? Products come and go, but these have been around for a while.

My question is, is there anyone out there who uses alcohol based aftershaves, and then follows up with moisturizer later? Seems like that would be a pretty happy medium. On another note, is there anyone who has serious issues that follow using aftershave?
