Thread: No more irritation!

I'll have to give this a try. I'm not looking forward to it, though.

I've used cool mint Listerine. No joke.

OK now that is really interesting to try out...

The sting doesn't last, but while it's there, it is pretty bad

I started doing it simply because I seem to have super sensitive skin. I break out just from scratching my face sometimes. After applying enough alcohol though, it seems like I've really found a winner.

Ouch, cool mint listerine? I have to ask, what made you reach for it? Alcohol plus nice scent?

Well using Listerine as aftershave ranks very low on my list of idiot maneuvers, but basically, yeah, the minty scent, alcohol and lack of AS.
I did it before my straight days. Wasn't bad.

I've tried the alcohol thing the last two days, and it's kind of fun in a "walking on hot coals in your bare feet" kind of way.

Yesterday the sting wasn't too bad, but today I was a bit aggressive with my razor. Holy cow! Ouch. After a few seconds a tingling numbness sets in, which is also fun.

The smell makes my wife crinkle her cute little nose, so fortunately it doesn't smell after it dries.

I'm not sure whether it's reducing irritation, which is minimal to nonexistant for me these days. But I kind of like it.

If I don't keep using straight alcohol, I think I will look for an aftershave with a high alcohol content.

Thanks for the tip!

For all the help you've given me, I'm glad to contribute.

It is nice in a way simply because the smell leaves after a minute. I like expensive Armani cologne, and I hate having to coordinate deodorants, colognes, AND aftershave. That gets waaaay too expensive.
