Hi guys,
I shave for work everyday and always use a 'splash' after a shave - I like the stinging and numbing effect of them. I rotate between:
Aqua Velva Menthol (blue one) - lovely cold sensation, decent performance and scent last for a good few hours if not more. Incredibly good value at $5-$10 a bottle.
Chanel Allure AS Lotion (it's a 'splash') - Leaves skin feeling great and the very nice scent lasts all day.
Superdrug Sierran Breeze (thanks to member Dipesh) - feels watered down but for under £3 it is very good value for money and the scent, surprisingly, lingers for several hours.
The best performer from these is, hands down, the Chanel. It leaves the skin feeling very nice, especially after a rough shave, and there is no dryness. I had a look at the ingredients of all the above and they all start with Alcohol, Water, Propylene Glycol/Glycerin...
After which, the Chanel does have some major differences.
It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate - A fat-soluble, highly absorbable form of vitamin C; Free-radical fighting antioxidant in skin care products that promotes healthy skin.
Tocopheryl Acetate - Vitamin E (Acetate)
Allantoin - Moisturising and increases smootheness of the skin
The final few ingredients are very similar for all 4.
The Chanel costs a lot so you expect it to be better, but it's too expensive to use on a regular basis for work.
Which aftershaves do you guys rate as good performers in terms of how your skin feels afterwards?
In particular those which have a that scent lasts a good few hours, if not more.
Thanks
Sonny
