Fine aftershaves are excellent for oily skin. The alcohol dries down to a nice and tight, toned face feel that isn't greasy or anything like that. They're my go-to in summer, as I do need a little more moisture in the wintertime.The best thing I ever did for my oily face was stop using “face washes” and started using bar soap instead(mostly Stirling soaps now)
Also I use aftershaves with alcohol and it really helps to control the excess oil. Fine aftershaves leave me clean and dry the longest from all the ones I’ve tried.

My top pick for oily skin would be Arko. It's a fantastic performer, but it dries out skin like nothing else on earth.
TOBS Jermyn Street has a pleasant fragrance and is very kind to your skin. It’s not as good on your skin as The Fat, but it’s easier to lather.An update on my search - After many recommended it, I've ordered the Speick stick and should be getting it soon.
The most recommended one was in fact the Martin De Candre, but I want to see if I prefer soaps over creams before spending £43 on it.
With the lockdown coming to an end in England, I'm finally free to go see the holy grail of 'TOBS' at Jermyn St in London this weekend. Looking forward to it, maybe I'll pick up something there
This has been an extremely informative thread even though older ones do exist. Thank you all for your suggestions and plz keep them coming!
I would be careful attempting to "dry out" your skin. I tend to have oily skin, but I've found that using drying soaps exacerbate my issues with oily skin and rosacea/acne in my 50's. I'm learning about my skin that the oil(sebum) is coming from my body trying to moisturize more dry skin.
I've started to look at possible ingredients that are comedogenic or pore clogging. I do have look at and understand the chemistry of the ingredients in soaps and creams as well.
Please understand that I don't presume to know anyone else's body and skin biology. I'm only sharing my experience. Each to his own, YMMV, and all of that.
I use an antibacterial face wash first to clear away the oil and dirt before shaving.

So, my recommendation is to shave before a shower. Just wet the face, put on the lather, shave, have a shower, don't put more soap or shower gel on the shaves area, pat dry
