Thread: Post Shave Ritual

Curious as to what works for other folks. Not just products, but maybe how you incorporate different stuff into your ritual.

Here is what I do:

1 Cold Water Rinse/Towel I like to rinse with cold water, then use a towel run under cold water, that was rung out a little. I will hold that on my face for a minute or so and repeat. I like to feel like the towel take transferred some of the heat off of my face and cool my skin off. The towel will be the same towel I used before for the pre-shave prep.

2 Witch Hazel I usually splash my face with a Thayers witch hazel astringent. Usually just the unscented. They have some nice scented ones out there, but I like unscented products. I pat my face dry after a minute or two.

3 Aftershave Wax I got a tub of the Razo-Rock and I like it. I have the original scent, they have some others that sound nice but I have not tried them yet. You just need a little dab, and then massage that into your face. It seems like it cools your face and moisturizes just the right amount to not be greasy and not be dry, and I like the smell.

Once in a blue moon I will skip steps two and three and replace with an application of Dominica Bay-Rum Aftershave.

I found that by using this post shave process my face has virtually no irritation afterwards, and I get compliments that I smell good.
