Aftershave

Aftershave is a lotion, gel, or liquid used mainly by men after they have finished shaving. It may contain an antiseptic agent such as alcohol to prevent infection from cuts as well as numb damaged skin, a perfume to enhance scent, and a moisturizer to soften the skin. An alcohol-based, fragrance-free astringent can be used as an aftershave. It is said that the alcohol in the aftershave closes pores in the skin and prevents irritation ("razor burn").

Aftershaves are also sometimes mistakenly referred to as Eau de Cologne.

Noted brands include Brut, Global Gillette, Lynx, Adidas, Crabtree & Evelyn and Old Spice. Many fashion designer houses lend their names to brands of aftershave, including Hugo Boss, Comme des Garçons, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Lacoste, Jil Sander, and Vera Wang.

Aftershave-like substances were used in ancient Egyptian times to clean and deodorize a dead body before it was soaked in natron and wrapped in linen bandages.
