I've been on a quest for the perfect aftershave for quite some time now, and have yet to find it.

I've been using this for a while now, but it just doesn't seem to do much besides smell nice. I want my face to feel refreshed after putting it on, so I assume I should start looking for something non-alcoholic.

So, the question begs;

What are you guys using?

Does water count? I use an electric and don't have that much facial hair to begin with. I'll probably never use a razor; I'm jumpy and I just know accidents will happen when I start shaving close to my throat or jugular.

I shave in the shower with a disposable. No aftershave.

I don't think you can do serious damage with a razor, so long as it isn't a straight or safety.

I use either Kenneth Cole Reaction or Polo Black, both came with the cologne.

True, and it's difficult to do too much with a safety. The first couple of shaves came off a bit sharp and with a few nicks, but nothing since. You'd have to make a serious mistake to do any real damage.

I'm staying away from a straight blade though.

I'm not a man-woman though.

...right since drying out your skin to the point of damaging it is the manly thing to do :roll:

That can be generally guaranteed by making sure to only stuff the food into your gaping maw and not around it.

If you can't get the food in your mouth without getting it on your face using a razor blade may not be in your best interests.
