i use it, it is so much more effective than regular aftershave. good wakeup in the morning. cheaper. lots of advantages.



and no, alcohol doesnt really hurt bad. hell, i've cautherized my own wounds... alcohol is nothing. :p

aftershave is so you dont get small infections on your face after shaving. that's why it has alcohol in it. i just use strait alcohol.

u'd think. actually, try it. it does cook you. because though you dont know it, you did put hundreds of small cuts in your face while shaving. that's why you use some form of alcohol, to clean out those cuts.


besides, small amounts of physical pain dont bother me.

The majority of the rubbing alcohol exposed to the air evaporates. The rest sinks into your pores and goes straight into your heart, where the molecules act out renditions of "The Twilight Zone"... Never mind that sometimes different episodes are going on simultaneously.

nah, reminds me of everclear (for some ODD reason ;):p)

Dude, everclear is ethyl alcohol, Rubbing is Isopropyl, I think you will be doing some permanent damage if you drink that stuff.

I was talking about the ODOR, and yes, drinking rubbing alcohol will do things like blind you

if you get good, you dont have to do multiple passes with a razor, like you do with an electric :p

yikes!!!!


we who are weak....salute you!

yeah, at that point, i didnt have much choice. i was out of floss, thread, and anything else i could make stitches out of. and i had a rather nasty gash along my leg. so, i bandaged it as well as i could, got a fire going, cleaned it out, held it together and cautherized with the coals on one end of a stick. pretty good way of closing a wound. i didnt get an infection, either :p

I bought some cheap vodka, and use that. much better than other stuff. I hate the smell of most aftershaves.
