After Shave? WTF is that all about!?

Yeah Yeah Yeah · 13-04-2012 8:54pm #1

I'm a bloke and I can't get my head around why men use aftershave..

Men/Blokes/Lads: Do you use aftershave?

Men/Blokes/Lads: Why do you use it?

Women/Girls: Do you find it allauring enhancing etc?

(If so, what brands:rolleyes::D!!)

MagicMarker · 13-04-2012 8:55pm

I use cologne, then I make love to myself.

BBDBB · 13-04-2012 8:56pm

Yes, but not after shaving

So I don't go out smelling like shit

Born to Die · 13-04-2012 8:57pm

Closes open pores.

KTRIC · 13-04-2012 8:57pm

Makes me feel like a man. I usually splash it on and then go out to the garage to stir some paint with a stick and beat my wife when I'm done for not making me a sandwich :pac:

Fart · 13-04-2012 8:57pm

I only use it when I'm home alone.

Why do you normally poop ur pants when going out of an evening?

The King of Moo · 13-04-2012 8:58pm

It's nice to smell nice, that's all.

Also, for guys "on the pull," as it were, it's beneficial as many women like the scent of certain colognes.

Like Blue Stratos.

Just apply it liberally (adding a bottle to your bathwater works well) and enter any reputable nightclub.

Beware though: you may not make it out alive.

Certain people from certain parts of the world such as the Middle East and India tend to have very strong body odor. This may be due to diet, hygiene, pheromones or genetics. In post cases these people rely on aftershave/cologne/toilet water to mask the brutal whiff of utter mankiness. Get into a NYC taxi and you will either be greeted by the overwhelming scent of spring flowers or the brutal carnage of a curry fart mixed with armpit fungus depending on when the driver last applied his perfume.

Aftershave does smell nice...

Yeah Yeah Yeah · 13-04-2012 9:04pm

This is making a bit of sense, used to love the smell of the gf's perfume on me clothes the next day...

A little Hugo Boss behind the ears and on the wrists.

There are reasons for after shave OP. It may contain an antiseptic agent to prevent infection of cuts or menthol to numb damaged skin, and also attractive scents, which leads to a proliferation of different scents and product differentiation, and allows celebrities to lend their names to some nice scented products so we can smell like them or imagine rubbing our noses all over them.

The King of Moo · 13-04-2012 9:07pm

I used to be in the "sure why would men want to be smellin' nice?" camp, but now I've come to like a hint of a subtle fragrance about my person.

Calvin Klein's Euphoria for men is my usual choice at the moment.

And that's now the least macho thing I've ever written.

It looks like most people are confusing aftershave with EDT or cologne.

Aftershave is a Lotion, Gel, Balm, or liquid used mainly by men after they have finished shaving. It may contain an Antiseptic agent such as Alcohol to prevent infection from cuts as well as numb damaged skin, a Perfume to enhance scent, and a Mositurizer to soften the Skin. An alcohol-based, fragrance-free Astringent can be used as an aftershave. It is said that the alcohol in the aftershave closes pores in the skin and prevents irritation ("Razor Burn").

I've been seeing this doctor lately (professionally!) and the smell off the man is INCREDIBLE. He's not drowned with Lynx, he's just wearing a bit of aftershave, and whatever it is it turns him from someone you mightn't look twice at to a man I would like to lick from head to foot. It's there, whenever he comes within two foot of me, and to be honest it gives me bad thoughts.

I love the smell of a clean man, but this is even better.*

* And no, I don't know what brand it is.

Johnson's baby soap, followed by Johnson's baby powder leaves the ladies needing buckets between their legs to catch the downpour from it's soaked snatch.

Is that what you're mammy puts on you when she's finished washing your belly and changing your nappy ?? :rolleyes:

I love the scent of a nice but of Cologne on a man. It gives the impression that they care about their appearance.
Fahrenheit used to be a good one

I know one guy who wore Diptyque, and the smell was great. Teyla Emmagan would've fallen at his feet. When he wore it he said he could melt a cheese sandwich from across the room.

He doesn't wear it anymore, because I took the bottle from him. My reasons were twofold. I wanted it for myself, and I didn't want to ruin a good friendship by falling under its spell, like that Teyla Emmagan one.

I stock up on it when I go to America. Turns girls into a puddle within seconds. :cool:

Ectoplasm · 13-04-2012 9:55pm

Aftershave, or more accurately cologne, is gorgeous when used in appropriate amounts. The problem is that, way too often, people seem to think drowning themselves in scent is a good thing. Also, what smells great on one guy won't necessarily smell the same on another.

That said, some of the ones I've really liked on guys are Cool Water, Acqua de Gio and Eau Savage - the last in particular gives a really sexy clean man scent *swoon*

After Shave? WTF is that all about!?
