Thread: Cold After Shave?

A recent trip to the mountains of New York State, I awoke, shaved, applied the aftershave, grabbed a cup of coffee and sat in the yard - all before 6AM.
The cool morning breeze hit my freshly shaved face. It was an incredible sensation. I started to wonder if cold aftershave lotion- refrigerated or otherwise, would provide a similar experience to finish to a shave. Personally, I am a towel person, so my post shave project includes applying a cold towels, which I find invigorating.

Two questions: Has anyone tried using a cold aftershave? Are there any negatives associated with a cold aftershave?

Thanks guys.

Well, I keep my vodka in the freezer...

I don't see why cold aftershave wouldn't work - it is just a preference, right? Negatives might be questions from your wife as to why the condiment shelf is now the aftershave shelf, but I cannot see any reason why an alcohol based AS wouldn't live happily in the fridge.

Never tried it myself - but I don't use aftershave anyway, or very very rarely.

I shave with cold water, cold lather, and in the summertime I keep my cucumber witchazel in the fridge. It feels fantastic.

I usually give myself a cold water rinse after shaving. At one time I used some Rose Water AS which they recommended to be kept in the fridge and it did feel very nice.

Ice cold bay rum might be a little too tempting for me.

Some might cloud, but who cares. That's where I keep my Osage Rub. It is truly an invigorating experience with that combination. I save that for warmer days.

I have used refrigerated aftershave and like it.
