There are two types of after shaves available, one is alcohol based and another is lotion based. Most men shave at least a few times a week because they want to have that clean, smooth and smart look. However, there is one by product of shaving, it leaves the surface of a man's skin sensitive and vulnerable. The pores are left open and the skin gets roughed up by dragging a sharp razor across the face. Thus it is generally seen that right after shaving, the man will usually rinse off his face and then apply cold water in an attempt to close down the pores and then splash on some aftershave. That can be a shocking experience. An alcohol based aftershave will definitely close down those facial pores which is what causes the characteristic stinging. This sting actually provides a bracing and refreshing effect to men which is often welcomed by them.

If you are choosing an aftershave for a man, keep in mind the differences between an alcohol based and a lotion based aftershave. Alcohol based aftershave will provide a mild scent for only a short time period because the alcohol will tend to evaporate pretty quickly. To name a few, L'Occitane Eau des Bergers, M14 - Sirius, M17 - Kwame, M18 - Freedom and many would serve as good examples of being alcohol based aftershaves.
