I remember waiting in a doctor's office looking at a magazine and it had an ad with a guy standing in nasty weather with a raincoat holding a bottle of Listerine and saying, "I hate it, but I love it."

I can't say I like the sting but when I apply aftershave that stings my face feels better during the next shave. One day I used Arko Gel aftershave and there was no irritation whatsoever. A few hours later I took a bath and reapplied a standard alcohol-based aftershave and OUCH! There have got to be tiny nicks on your face you don't see while you're shaving, or it wouldn't sting. And your face feels better before the next shave because it has healed.
