[David68]

The geniuses at Sharpologist have created the 10 commandments of shaving

For me they are spot on

Is that an American thing, no alcohol in aftershave? I enjoy it.

 

[Barry Giddens]

I couldn't give up my splash of alcohol!

 

[Count of Undolpho]

Man! I found the mishmash of poorly used 'biblical' language far more excruciating than alcohol in aftershave is.
'Thou's' ?? 'shall forsaken it'?

 

[Rohleder]

Well he is from across the pond...

Thought they were well into the KJB in the colonies? Though I suppose my advantage is being a Barnsley lad, I still know people who use thee, thy and thine (and/or tha and tha's) as a matter of course.

Agree.

Alcohol is nice. In an aftershave too.

 

[Steve Bowles]

As a Yank, I can attest to the futility of trying to separate a Brit from his alcohol.

Gawd! The boozier, the better ... what with shaving soaps being formulated more like ladies' soaps nowadays. Alcohol helps pull out all that shea butter silliness that's left lying around in your upper epidermis.

 

[Bogeyman]

The omission of alcohol in AS's is further evidence of the wussification of the Western World.

I've got some Russian stuff on the way, its 79.5% alcohol and marketed as Cologne but its so weak in scent those lads use it as an aftershave splash... The sting should be good

I've been using alcohol-based aftershaves for the +50 years of my shaving life. So far, no ill effects; 'the fullness of time' has yet to arrive it seems for me. Also, scratch the number of blades drivel. Again, I've been using multi-blade cartridges (currently Mach 3 and a Sensor) for yonks with no irritation or any other nasties attributable to cartridges. So much for the geniuses at Sharpologist!

If it's the Novaya Zarya stuff I use you're in for a treat! I've got the Chypre and Russian Forest...both lovely!

Thats the stuff, got a few different ones coming... Arbat, Royal Chypr and Red Moscow (yeah I know the last one is feminine but I couldn't resist at the price and the bottle was so pretty )

And what you don't splash you can drink like any good Russian.
