After Shave Lotion

What is after shave splash?

Splash is alcohol-based liquid after shave that disinfects small nicks, closes pores, and leaves a cool feeling. Stirling Soap Company and Saponificio Varesino have top splashes with unique scents.

Lotion or balm — which to choose?

If you have oily skin or prefer a cooling sensation, choose lotion. For dry or sensitive skin, go with balm. Taylor of Old Bond Street lotions are balanced and suit many skin types.

Does alcohol damage skin?

In high concentrations it can dry skin. Modern splashes like Stirling contain moisturizing ingredients for balance. Zingari Man is alcohol-free but with antiseptic properties from natural ingredients.

How do I apply correctly?

Rinse face with cold water, pat dry gently. Pour a little lotion into palms and spread on face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Let it dry naturally.

What are the best scents?

Stirling has huge variety — from classic barbershop to exotic. Saponificio Varesino is Italian, elegant. Taylor Sandalwood is timeless. Try different ones to find yours.

Can I use it as cologne?

Yes, many after shave lotions have enough scent longevity to work as light cologne. Saponificio Varesino and Beviro have strong, lasting scent. Great for daily use.
