Thank you for that. It was very interesting and informative.
As a general rule, I prefer EDTs, because they tend to last a bit longer than conventional aftershave splashes. They also cost quite a lot more too. I do use aftershaves if my skin is sore after my shave, though I am fully aware that I will need to top it up in an hour or two. I am quite happy to use both aftershave and EDTs, though. It ultimately depends on how much money I have to spend, and whether I am going out anywhere on that day.
