Not much to add, except for that embarrassing lapse in judgment earlier this year where they were considering putting Aqua Velva in plastic bottles, until we here at B&B flooded their offices with complaints and hate mail. I think that's a moment in AV history that Williams/Combe would rather forget, though. Always rinse your skin with lukewarm water after shaving and then a final cold rinse to start the process of closing the pores. Finally apply the aftershave to seal the pores and start the healing process.

Should you use aftershave if you never have before? Well, it certainly can’t hurt aside from that initial sting, and it does help tone and seal your face from infection, but you don’t really need it either, especially if you’ve been shaving for years without it and have had no ill effects. Williams once called Aqua Velva “the scientific after-shaving preparation” before switching to the less-authoritative “there’s something about that Aqua Velva man”, almost as if they knew their audience would someday figure out they didn’t really need the stuff. Still, Williams was right about aftershave being a luxurious finishing touch, and it’s one you don’t need six figures to enjoy. If you are sensitive to the effects of alcohol on skin, a lot of these also come in a creamier kind of splash too, and designers have been offering them as well. After a week of testing these colognes and aftershaves, I’m happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by my findings. I actually thought all of the drugstore colognes and aftershaves smelled great. If you’re looking to invigorate your freshly shaved face or want to dab on a bit of scent every day without breaking the bank, they make for agreeable alternatives to expensive fragrances. This is a timeless fragrance and works very well with my shaving routine. Makes my skin feel very clean. Been using this sine 1934 :-)

I have never used aftershave before, but found this completely by accident. I was looking for something that smelled like Brylcreem, because as it turns out there is no such thing as a Brylcreem aftershave, but I knew I wanted something I can use everyday that has a 'fresh' slightly musky, slightly soapy scent and not too strong.
