Thread: Best preforming aftershave

As I don't use after shave only EDT or Eau de parfum, there are quite a few scents I rate very highly such as most of L'Occitane EDT and a few Penhaligon's also Creed, but ultimately it will come down to one factor for me and that's staying power and these are three scents I have in my rotation and they all go the distance, first up Guerlain Vetiver the classic scent for the winter and autumn then next up Tom Ford Black Orchid you will even pick this up on your skin 24 hours later, and lastly and in my opinion very individual I love it can't recall smelling anything quite like it Kiehl's musk original blend No1.

Ever since I've tried Weleda, I haven't found anything better. I've tried alum alone, witch hazel, Trumpets Skin Food and all combos, but without the Weleda something's missing.

I'm going to say D.R Harris splashes, nothing else I use feels quite like it. Another very effective one for a particularly ruff shave I like, is RazorRock AS wax, instant relief.

Regardless of which scented AS I may choose, the one product that I use every single
time, without fail, is Thayers Witch Hazel After Shave Lotion with Aloe Vera Formula.

Good stuff. Very soothing.

I have been using Taylor of Old Bond Streets Mr. Taylor and am very satisfied with it. I like it better than Pinuad Clubman since it does not have as much of a burn to it and I think it leaves my skin a little softer while still dry and clean feeling.

Alum does the most good on my face followed by a post shave cooling lotion like "American Crew" or "Dreadought" post shave balm.

Most AS preps do nothing for you. They only smell. Some of the balms are OK. Trumpers skin food and Thayers Witch hazel are both good for you.

For my skin, I just need something with a fair amount of alcohol.
I've never had much use for anything else.
