I always assumed that the purpose of an alcohol based aftershave splash was to A: Act as an antiseptic for any nicks or cuts; B: to tighten and "tone" by closing the pores; and C: as a bonus, to act as a lighter version of a cologne by providing a nice fragrance.
Since alcohol by it's very nature has a drying effect, I always assumed that any alcohol based aftershave splash would be somewhat drying, and therefore that if you needed or desired any kind of moisturizing at all, you should use an aftershave balm, as that is what they are for.
Thoughts?
