I like the bit of minty burn and it doesn’t feel greasy afterwords like the non-alcohol based ones I’ve tried.

    Liking the smell is probably a primary reason. Otherwise, if you have really dry skin, it can help with moisturizing. Most shaving creams are nothing special: It’s just a fancy soap that may have additional lubricants in it. Soap will generally dry your skin.

    I think people with other specific skin conditions need to use it to prevent redness or additional irritation. Not sure about that though.

    There are hundreds of different formulations for all of this stuff and hundreds of different skin types, so this is just a generalization.

      Huh, okay. thanks!

      I didn’t even know aftershaves were supposed to be moisturizing since so many of them are alcoholic based.

      according to the home alone trailer, anyway.
