I just got inspired to do the list... After seeing how Alex (AJS)

worked on searching and listing all those shaving soaps, I thought it would be nice to have something for the Japanese Aftershaves...

There could always be a list for German/French/British/Italian/American/etc. later on...

Also. thanks to 'The Nid Dog' for this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=121870

Thanks to Dave (Thunderball) for all the contributions on the subject!

With a bit of research, I got my information and I think it's right.

If I miss anything, please let me know!

Vintage has a balm that they call a conditioner along with the lotion. If this is not what you are looking for I will delete post.

I've tried the DHC aftershave lotion, and found it average. Just a little better than splashing cold water on my face. Soothed the razor burn a bit, didn't really moisturize, no alcohol sting at all.

I'll still stand by the Auslese products as my fave splash's.

They can be ordered online through the Japanese online shopping mall Rakuten. Fair prices, until you get to the shipping charges. When you do a search on Rakuten, it shows multiple vendors, a few even had 880ml bottles of the regular Auslese aftershave. Rakuten can be used to order tons of goodies from Japan if your interested.

I'm still curious about the Auslese calming aftershave lotion, the one with the milky substance floating around the bottom of the bottle.

I'm not sure what you are asking? DHC is the company name, they are kinda like the Nivea of Japan, they make men and womens skin care products.

All right, if DHC is the company, under which name did they labeled the product?

i.e. Sensitive Aftershave Balm by Nivea
