Looking for a good aftershave splash

[Gunky]

Ok, looking for an alcohol splash, the scent must be fresh and classy. Nothing old mannish and too drugstore (cheap) like. Also I tend to stick torwards products that use simple ingredients, so if it's a more "natural" product I'm all for it.

Cool looking bottle is a plus.

Price range? What kinds of scents do you like? Examples?

Are you looking for a straight up high alcohol plus scent splash? Or do you want something with glycerin, aloe, witch hazel, etc?

Proraso splash! A wonderful scent that works well to boot.

Try one of the Booster splashes. I just got the mosswood which smells great, and soothes the face without any major alcohol burn.

Aqua di Parma (lotion)

Speick A/S would be a great choice.

Natural ingredients (I think), good skin healing properties, wonderful scent when applied (not it matters...the scent's staying power could be measured in seconds).

I've been using Cade by L'Occitane quite a bit. The price is reasonable and everyone seems to like the scent.

You should consider one of the SCS aftershave splashes. Mediterranean Citrus is one that I have and really like. There is nothing old mannish about the scent and it it has a nice menthol kick.

Swiss Pitralon might also be worth a try. Reasonably priced, good 'healing' properties

 

[DavidH]

Acqua de Parma Splash, Santa Maria Novella Lavanda and TOBS Shaving Shop

 

[Evbo]

All of these are good choices. I'd also add Harris Pink to the list & any other of Sue's (SCS's) splashes (altho that Mediterranean Citrus is a good one).

I think I'm going to try proraro liquid aftershave balm and an alum block...totally different than what I was orignally posting for

The Proraso balm is really nice and was also my first AS after trouncing through the B&B.

however, after a lot of trial and error a good splash has become the desert treat of my shave, one of my favorite parts; i hope you don't forgo it forever!
