Anyone else like the sting?
I might be beating a dead horse here, as I am new. Has anyone else grown to love that stinging sensation of applying some good aftershave after a cold rinse and a hot shave? I just bought some Dominican Bay Rum, it has a nice scent and a good sting too it, although I wish the scent was a little heavier but over all I enjoy using it, post shave.

Thanked: 220Yes, I too enjoy a good sting, but even better is the cooling sensation after.

Thanked: 67Yup, I've always liked the sensation of alcohol on a cut/graze. However, when I'm applying aftershave I have a 'job well done' feeling when I don't get any stinging. So it's win-win.

Thanked: 1184Ummm like Matt I think the sting is a good gage on how well I am doing. I prefer less sting. In fact the only sting I enjoy would be the faint barely there sting. Now let's talk real enjoyment like a splinter under the finger nail or metal chip in the palm of you hand that you can't get out.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

I like the sting, the faster it goes away the better my technique is getting.

Interesting, I never thought of the sting as a measurement of how good the shave was! I will have to pay attention to that in the future...

If you like a good sting, try some Clubman Pinaud, that will definitey give you some feedback on how your shaves are progressing. It's an eye-opener! It's a must have for your collection of AS's.
