Best Burns like crazy aftershave?....

[kopio]

Ok...call me a sadist if you like, but I love that "Home Alone" moment when I put on my aftershave after a nice close straight shave.

I'm mainly used Pinaud Clubman, which has a pretty good pop to it.

I've also used Hugo Boss AS which is also pretty good.

So.....to my fellow sadists out there, what cologne burns hotter than any other bar none?

 

[Topgumby]

Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum
Lilac Vegetal
Florida Water
Osage Rub (so cold, it's hot!)

+1 on Osage Rub

Listerine in glass bottle. I did it by "accident" once... Once.

Are you talking about this one here :

Yep!

It'll change your warmest regards to coldest regards!

I'm tempted to use the Pinaud Bay Rum first, then the Osage Rub, to get that whole "Heat Miser vs Cold Miser" fight going...

La Toja.
You'll be doing "the running man" at the bathroom sink

Not that particular one...that's just a picture. You can't actually use a picture as an aftershave. What you are lookig for is the physical manefestation of that specific representation. The real thing is three dimensional and tangible, and is filled with fluid.

Just go for straight rubbing alcohol, my friend. I think the regular is 71%, but you can also get 99%, which will swat you a little harder.

Time to man up!

How about left side Bay Rum, right side Osage Rub....I bet that would be strange!

I'm picturing that in my head, and it's not too pretty

Thanks for that GMonkey....that was incredibly helpful. You don't know how much time I spent rubbing my face against the monitor screen to no avail.

You know, I would, but I do like a nice smell and alcohol doesn't really smell like much of anything.

Time to man up!

Gee....I never thought about drinking my aftershave!

Well, in WWII Williams put a bittering agent in Aqua Velva to keep servicemen from quaffing the stuff...

Ok...since we're being ridiculous now.....

How about these two:

I'm a recovering alcoholic (13 years sober), I've worked with guys that have gutted both aftershave and mouthwash.....

Ok, being completely non-ridiculous now, the most "JESUSCHRISTHOLYHELLGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!!!!" burn I've felt was from a bad shave followed by Dominica Bay Rum, uncut (towel-pat-dry face)...it's such a high alcohol content splash and the bay is stingy for a sec, so the misery was intense. Funny thing about bay oil though is it is also firming and slightly analgesic, so just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the switch flipped, and it instantly felt amazing and the fires were out. Those first ten seconds though felt like this:

 

[DSB]

L'Occitane Cade has the most burn out of my "regular rotation" splashes.

 

[Steerpike]

Pinaud Bay Rum. Nothing else I've used can hold a candle to the burn of this incendiary. In fact most splashes I don't even notice any more.

 

[Drubbing]

Ok...call me a sadist if you like, but I love that "Home Alone" moment when I put on my aftershave after a nice close straight shave.

That's the reason I stopped using the stuff in the late 80s.

That, and only recently finding out I was probably using cologne, and not the real deal.

I prefer the soft hum of Proraso or Tabac, telling me of a job well done...

 

[LinuxMintyFresh]

Ogallala Bay Rum. There have been a couple of times when I didn't shake the bottle enough, or too much, or whatever, and I felt like my face was going to melt off.

 

[Alpedhuez55]

I will second Pinaud VI Bay Rum and Florida Water.

Barbasol Pacific Rush has a nice burn followed by a menthol cool that lasts for a while.

Skin Bracer is pretty tough stuff
