What's Your Favorite Aftershave?

Once you've found the right type of shaver, it's time to get yourself the right aftershave.

And to be honest, I don't know what's easier to find. These days there's just as many types of shavers as there are types of "after-shaves".

Hundreds of different lotions, gels and balms are available.

The days of simply splashing alcohol on your face after a shave are over.

Today a good product is really meant to do several things:

They usually contain some type of antiseptic which helps prevent infections. If you have ever experienced a bit of numbness or a slight burning, that is the alcohol working.

It will also act as a good cologne. High quality products will have very appealing scents which almost act as a cologne specifically for your face.

Lastly, some products will act as a moisturizer to keep your skin soft and smooth. If you shave with a razor and don't apply some type of lotion you may experience dry skin. This can be avoided by using some type of product after you shave.

You will often hear the term astringent. In terms of shaving, this substance can help close your pores. Shaving with hot water is recommended because it helps open your pores and lift hairs off your face. This creates less irritation when shaving. Warm water will help make shaving much more enjoyable, but it's important to apply an aftershave to close your pores and disinfect your skin.

A shave just isn't complete without a high quality after shave product.
