Let's just say the missus got a kick out of my burning face...I like to shave right out of the shower

I guess you could say fighting fire with fire. I was just sitting there reading about what the irritation is, and thinking about the more successful aftershaves I've used, straight rubbing alcohol seemed the best choice. My only worry was extreme dryness, but I think the soap did its job on moisturizing the inside, while the alcohol cleaned up on the outside.

I'm going to keep experimenting with this, and I'll report back on how well things work out. This shave I only did my cheeks and jaw line so I could have near perfect form. If it works on my chin, then it's golden!


To be honest, of all the aftershaves I've smelled and used, I like the smell of the rubbing alcohol better. Not to mention it's waaaaaay cheaper.
