Went to an old-timey barber a month ago. He used aftershave on me called "foo foo." Don't know anything about it. But, my recommendation is that if you are applying aftershave, and it is "foo foo", DON'T!

Old time barbers would always slap it on. I think if he though you would give him a little tip you'd get slapped alot harder.
Foo Foo juice is a generic term used to describe any Cologne or After Shave, especially by old timers and x military. I just splash and pat. One thing, After Shaves contain Alcohol which tend to dry out the skin. What I recommend is using some type of moisturizer first, like a good after shave balm, Speick is excellent, My personal favorite is Truefitt and Hill 1805. That stuff smells awesome. It is pricey, and if that is a concern to you, Nivea, available everywhere makes some excellent after shave balms. Extreme Comfort comes to mind...Good stuff and inexpensive. I'd put that on first, then splash away with the Foo Foo juice......Your skin will Thank you...
In Australia it is generally recommended that one use a similar rotation to the northern hemisphere, however it is also recommended to use an emu feather instead of an ostrich feather. But Australians being who we are, we tend to ignore advice and just do what we think is right.
The aboriginals also had a little bush trick for applying aftershave: You soaked boxing gloves made out of paper and figs in aftershave, then put them on the largest kangaroo you can find, and tickle it until it whacks you. Plato wrote that you should wake up with stellarly tenderised and aftershaved face.
