What's are your top 5 aftershaves and why?

Hi @whitesix - I buy a 200ml bottle of witch hazel from Savers and add about 3ml of edt - (I used some Floris samples I had) - you could also add glycerine and vodka for their respective properties. I don't measure out mls generally but am sure there is a guide out there on the interweb

I suppose I should have said i'll be scenting some witch hazel but I enjoy odd turn of phrase too much

Let's wind back a bit first and start with an introduction.

Welcome to TSR! I'm Boycie83 and I live in the wonderful county of Devon in the UK. Who do we have the pleasure of talking to as the OP?

Current top 5 aftershaves in no particular order:

Floïd Vigaroso - performance and cooling
Proraso Red - performance
RazoRock XXX - scent (makes me want to mount myself)
Williams A/V - a good balance of everything
TGS Abysso - see XXX above

One of these is likely to be dethroned once I've tried a splash from @BrianH though

I tend to use Thayers Astringent as an aftershave (unscented) and then I will apply an edit or edp, ( not on my face ) however I have been testing a couple of aftershave splashes for Signature Soaps ( @BrianH ) and find them to be a great aftershave because you get the sting from the alchol and then you get the skin conditioning from the other ingredients leaving your skin feeling nicely conditioned so it's much more than an aftershave with a great scent.
Soon to be on general sale from Signature Soaps I hope.
He does some great shaving soaps too! P.
