Sorry I'm just projecting. It's on my iPod.
Topic: I dig mild skin conditioner/moisturizer stuff when needed. Winter, arid heat, and so forth. Natural greasiness helps.
Just curious: do you care about “skin food”?

Don't worry. I listened to goodbye horses for like 2 years straight back in college.
I don't search for "skin food" ingredients. But if i find out that my splashes have any I appreciate it. I was pretty happy when I found out that my Proraso green had Witch Hazel.
Call me odd, but the first thing to come to mind when I read this threads title is "pork rinds", and I do like them!

I'm in this camp. $15-$20 for water, alcohol, and "fragrance"? No thanks.
My favorite AS's all have some good skin stuff in them
- Calendula
- Chamomile
- Witch Hazel
- Glycerine
- Aloe
- Camphor
Do any of them actually smell like chamomile?
I don't like aftershave.

LOL At work once I had to write a launch plan for a software rollout and as one of the steps I included "it puts the lotion on".

Nope
Edit: Actually I think that I can barely detect it in Lucky Tiger. Chamomile is a very mild scent so easily masked by other ingredients.

Odd.
I have some Chatillon Lux "Pure Lavender" AS and I cannot detect any lavender, but it's got a great chamomile scent.
Which I like. Too bad it appears to be discontinued.

Glycerin. Avon aftershaves are high in glycerin. After using only Avon for a few weeks, I can definitely feel a difference!
I bought a bottle of glycerin at wallyworld, and add a few drops to any Pinaud etc. without it.
Alcohol, water and scent ... is that really aftershave? Or a weak cologne? Alky does sterilize, but you need something to fix the drying effect of the alky. Simple glycerin does that.
Vitamin E, calendula and all the rest are nice, but. And you can go too far with these face food additives; look at Thayer's Superhazel: so much junk in it, makes your face sticky.

I voted, ‘not really.’ If necessary, I can always add a moisturizer/balm after my splash.
My nose and throat cannot stand plain alcohol + fragrance type AS's so I never get to buy any of the old school stuff. Anything with some combination of skin food does wonders for me. There is one exception that I recently discovered though - Tend Skin (Tend Skin Liquid Effectively Reduces Ingrown Hair and Razor Bumps) that has a very high level of alcohol and acetylsalicylic acid and no fragrance but works superbly well for me - I apply it with a roll-on before layering on skin food balms.

I wonder which aftershaves are just alcohol and fragrance oil....
Some darn good smellin and feelin ones, that’s all I know!
I’m betting a lot that I use that seem like simple splashes have some ingredients for moisturizing even though they don’t feel sticky.
