So you've figured out how to use a shaving brush, you've bought some shaving cream, and you've even picked up some technique on getting a perfect shave.
As aftershave, you might have picked up what your dad uses (Old Spice?
F'ing awful stuff.) But there is some finesse to picking aftershave.
Things to Look Out For
Fragrance
Fragrance contains alcohol, which will dry out your skin. Look for
unscented variants, unless it uses natural oil for fragrance. Select
your aftershave fragrance with caution; you don't to advertise to the
world that you just shavedd\
Skin Type
Even if you regular oily skin, use only a bit of alcohol-based
aftershave (for nicks and cuts), before applying soothing lotion
specially formulated for shaving. If you feel an itching sensation after application, switch to another brand.
Alcohol Content
While Alcohol does provide antiseptic protection for nicks and cuts, it
also shuts your pores and renders a stinging effect. People with
sensitive skin should opt for a aftershave soothing lotion instead.
