I like the bit of minty burn and it doesn’t feel greasy afterwords like the non-alcohol based ones I’ve tried.

      Weird. Basically anyone who learns I use alcohol based aftershave just looks at me weird and asks “doesn’t that burn?” Yeah, that’s kinda the point. I haven’t met anyone else that uses the alcohol based stuff anymore other than my dad.

    I still prefer the full caveman mode of not shaving. But yeah when I shaved regularly I used alcohol based after shave.

    • not exactly full caveman I still keep it somehow groomed.

      I wish I could do that. Unfortunately my beard has a massive bald patch right under my chin and there’s no way to make that look good. I can grow a mean pedo-stache though if I ever lost my mind and decided to do that.

    I’m an Aqua Velva man but years ago (before some of you were born) there was this cooling aftershave gel that was fantastic. Forget who made it. Maybe Old Spice? It must have had alcohol and maybe aloe or something. Sadly discontinued. If I like it, they always discontinue it. 😐
