    I run my block of alum over the face when I am done shaving, then I wipe it off with a wet washcloth and apply aftershave.

    I am a big fan of layering. Hence, I generally use the aftershave that complements the soap/cream I use. In some cases I use the aftershave that complements the cologne I have.

    Either way - you don't need to use an aftershave per se - but man, aftershave really enhances an already great experience .

    Yeah it burns like a mother but I must admit that I like it. And I'm getting used to the cologne like scent. doesn't last long and it sure has tightened up my neck. I am a believer! Problem is that it has opened up the door to a whole new brand of experimentation. My girlfriend has accused me of trying to take over the medicine cabinet with this new addiction. She finally admitted that she likes it though.

    I really like the Taylor of Old Bond Street scents.

    Jermyn Street is a favourite of mine, it's a soft fresh earthy scent that isn't overpowering. St James is a bit brighter, with more punch. The price is a bit steep for the aftershave balms, but most places will send samples of aftershaves and you can try them for a few days and see what you like.

    I would also recommend trying cold-water shaving. Once you go cold, you never go back. And the irritation goes way down.
    Bracing!
