How to Apply Aftershave. If you want to avoid bumping and irritation, and attract ladies
with your scent, follow these simple rules for splashing on aftershave. You will need
Razor Soap and water Towel Favorite type of aftershave Ability to use aftershave in moderation
and aftershave for sensitive skin (optional). Step 1. Shave and then rinse your face and
neck with warm water to wash off the soap or shaving cream. Step 2. Rinse your face
and neck with cool water next to help close up your pores before you apply the aftershave.
Do not apply aftershave immediately after you have finished shaving since doing so might
make your skin sore or irritated. Step 3. Pat your face and neck dry gently with a towel.
Step 4. Choose an aftershave type, such as a soothing balm or an invigorating splash
of cologne, based on desired results. If you like a sharp, tingling sensation, choose an
alcohol-based aftershave; if you like a cooling sensation, try a lotion- or cream-based aftershave.
Avoid products with perfumes and other unnecessary ingredients if you have sensitive skin. Select
aftershaves specially made for sensitive skin. Step 5. Squeeze or spray a small amount of
aftershave into your palm, rub your hands together, and then apply the aftershave to
your shaved area, including your neck. Use only a small dime-sized amount to avoid overdoing
the cologne scent -- and get on your way to start the day! Did you know The Roman emperor
Hadrian, who lived from 117-138 CE, revived the bearded look by being the first emperor
to sport a beard and mustache.
