− | It is somehow quite hard to describe the | + | I have chosen six aftershaves in the comparision. These six aftershaves represent different kind of products and are therefore in this article. I like to use them all with different kind of meaning. None of them are not over the others for me, they are just different. My basic use is as follows: First splash and after that a stronger balm or creme. Here in Finland we have such a dry climate in winter that basic balm is not enough. That is why I like to use heavier stuff. In summertime balms are better due to warmer weather. |

Image:proraso splash.jpg | Proraso splash. This splash is very typical aftershave. Many people understand the word "aftershaves" that it is transparent or slightly colored solid liquid. There are lots of old drugstore classic aftershaves e.g. Tabac, Old spice, Mennen/Skin Bracer, Brut and so on in the market. And as much as classic aftershaves there are mid level and so called "high end" aftershaves too. They all are aiming to the same target to soothing the skin, closing the pores, prevent irritation, prevent infections. These splashes are famous to make a more or less sting during using. | Image:proraso splash.jpg | Proraso splash. This splash is very typical aftershave.
