Homemade mentholated Witch Hazel makes a great aftershave splash. I'm glad I bought those menthol crystals to play with.
Also, having enough soap on the brush makes all the difference. I was finishing a 3017 of Haslinger Schafmilch this past week and the lathers were airy and while I was getting good shaves from them, they weren't as good as I would have liked. I started a 3017 of RazoRock XX today, and working out of that full tub gave me a chance to do a good load on the brush. I had tons of lather to work with and got BBS from a blade that's on its 25th use today.
