This. I put a dime sized blob of Nivea Men Cooling after shave balm in my left hand and add a couple of drops of whatever liquid aftershave splash I want the scent of (sometimes actual cologne), blend together and apply to my face with both hands. If and when I do choose to apply separately, it's the thinnest product first, then the balm. Haven't done it that way for ages though.
How do you apply your AS?

^^^This for me ^^^
Liberally and with gusto!
Sometimes followed by a "Yeeoouch!" if I'm using the Cat o 9 Tails
Ditto here - I splash it on with reckless abandon
Pour AS on short length of 2x4 and slap myself with it. That sounds too painful so I'll stick with what I do now: put my left hand over the top of the AS bottle, invert bottle, upright bottle. This gives me just a bit of AS, then I rub my hands together and rub onto face. This is especially what I do with stronger fragranced aftershaves as I don't want to be "that guy".
For the past two months I've actually been skipping the AS step altogether, but in the past two shaves I've gone back for some AS goodness.

I used to just splash and burn before, but have been rubbing it on my hands for a few seconds before applying.

If I'm applying immediately after a shave, it's a cold water rinse, then some witch hazel, then the AS. (Drying between applications). For daily wear it's two or three shakes in one hand, rub both hands together, and apply liberally. If it's a weak or fleeting scent on me I apply a second round.
