I quit using aftershave years ago after I realized it is a totally useless and unnecessary gimmick.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

I've never actually tried it myself, though I've always used an electric shaver anyway (which doesn't need it as much?)

I use aftershave, but also use double edged blades :-) After shave aren't expensive vs modern blades that go for $2 each.

I use aftershave. The brand is Clubman, and it's like $5 (US) for a bottle. I'm about 6 months into one and haven't even used 1/4 of it.
I also use a straight razor, so it's a little more important. And much cheaper than good disposable blades. Between shave soap, new blades, (It's a cheap modern handle that takes them) and aftershave, I figure I spend about $10/year on shaveing and related supplies, not counting water usage, as that's included in my rent. Cost to get started (Handle, brush, mug) was less than $20.

I bought a 100 of double edge blades for $7.... It lasts for me more than year.

Most of my cost is shave soap. Gotta get that about twice a year. Blades last just about forever.

I've never used aftershave...then again I always have had a babyface, and didn't really need to start shaving regularly until my mid 20s. Now I just use a trimmer and leave my facial hair at stubble length...

I was curious if people who used any form of disinfectant (from fancy lotions to rubbing alcohol) tried omitting this completely? I can see how it might be needed with old-school brushes full of bacteria, but nowadays I think it is unnecessary. I've never had an infected cut. I use a foam or gel and reusable double razors that I rinse and air dry when I'm done.

Do you count ripped up pieces of toilet paper as disinfectant? So far my tests have showed that 100% of the cuts i have plugged with TP do not become infected, so we could infer that toilet paper is a disinfectant!

Wow I forgot about after shave. Haven't used it since my Dad taught me how to shave. I was a very poor and bloody student.

I use a straight razor (Rolls) and all I use is witch-hazel. I've been using the same bottle for over a year now, it's inexpensive and effective.
