Tatcha’s water cream is $72 for 50ml
Aftershave is not quite that expensive
Comment on Why are most aftershave perfumed ?

If I’m misunderstanding, I apologize, but aftershaves are one of the socially acceptable ways for traditionally presenting men to apply perfume. Colognes are often perceived as being a bit affected and in any case get used for special occasions or “going out.” In short, aftershaves are often designed to be used in place of colognes in addition to anything they’re trying to do for your skin (which if they contain alcohol is probably not overly positive in any case).
Is there a reason you would be looking to use aftershave in particular, as opposed to another skin care product? Tatcha, for example, has almost no scent in their water cream, and would probably be better for your skin.
I know that facial shaving can have a particularly strong reaction with some people, but to my knowledge nothing marketed as an aftershave would have a particular benefit over a facial skin care product.

That’s a fair point. Yes, nice skin care products can be a bit pricey. I only mentioned the Tatcha because it’s on my bathroom counter and I gave it a sniff to make sure I was remembering correctly. I don’t sell skin care products. I do math for a living.
My point was that splashing on Old Spice isn’t the best for your skin, even if you were to locate an unscented version. Someone in the business - whether at the counter in some fancy shop or a beauty advise vlogger - would be where I’d go if I wanted to get away from scented and possibly less than helpful products.
But just between us, the Tatcha product line is awesome. My partner got me hooked and I am a fresh faced math nerd as a result.
