I would be interested in trying a low/no scent alcohol based aftershave. I don't really like the creamy kinds of stuff. It might be nice to make something myself.
Would it be possible to get something and "cut-it" in alcohol? My favorite scent so far was called something like "Oud de Quinine" from Trumpers, but I didn't put it all over my face.
This may seem like a bit of a redneck solution, but I really enjoy using straight up vodka for aftershave. No scent either.
YMMV
I really enjoy Taylor of Old Bond Street 'Eton College'. It has alcohol, and it has a very mild scent.

I usually cut balms with a little witch hazel ---- in the old hand,

Purell Hand Sanitizer. Very little scent, no residue, easy to apply since it's a gel at room temperature but liquifies completely at skin contact. Just enough aloe to protect your skin from the alcohol - it's designed to be used by health care professionals who might have to use it every few minutes. One pump isn't quite enough, but two works great.
Some hand sanitizers also moisturize the skin well but the scents are fruity and strong so I wouldn't use'em for public appearances :nj
Speick!
Speick Creme, and Aftershave are both highly thought of in certain circles. The Aftershave has a light scent which on myself doesn't linger. The creme comes in a 75ml tube at around $10, and the aftershave in a 100ml glass bottle for around $18.50. you can read the reviews on certain other sites......

A little odd looking since it made the AS turn cloudy but it works the same. The WH is a good astringent, it tones down the scent of the AS so it is much more subtle and it makes the AS last longer!

Hi Alan,
If you're near a Nordstrom's store, you might check out the 'Lucky Tiger after shave and face tonic'. No alcohol in it though, but a very light orange/citrus scent that disappears in just a few seconds. It's the consistency of water, and I spray it on my face using an atomizer. Works great with no sloppy drips or waste, and the LT product leaves my face feeling fine.
You might also like to try a sample of the liquid shave cream by the same company. Very lightly scented, and I found the lather to be quite nice. I figured the soap/water ratio to be a little less water than usual to start with, and that did the trick.
Hope that helps,
Martin
