I have just tried Penhaligon's English Fern aftershave and I must say it is decent. It is exactly what you would expect a 19th Century after shave to be: alcohol and fragrance. Glycerin? menthol? aloe? witch hazel? They haven't been discovered yet! Anyway:
Price: really expensive
Quality: top shelf like all Penhaligon's products (these were once the toiletries of the English Aristocracy).
Razor Burn: no better than Old Spice
Cooling: no menthol, no cooling except the evaporation of alcohol
Scent: light fougere that last no more than a couple of minutes, which I like
Efficacy: gets the job done as though you were off to another Victorian social
Moisturizing: none
Alcohol burn: high, let it evaporate in your hands for a second or two before you apply to the raw face
