5 Best Aftershaves for Men

Aftershaves are lotions, gel, balm, powder, or liquid used mainly by men after they have finished the nightmare that is called shaving.

The most common use for aftershave is to prevent infections from cuts.

But they also act as an astringent to reduce skin irritation which may be caused from razor burn.
