Since I had to throw away my trusty Floid The Genuine , I live in dissatisfaction: I don’t have anymore an aftershave that fits basically any soap, smells good and plays nice with my skin.

Do you have any recommendations for one-size-fits-it-all aftershaves?

    The Goodfellas Smile has alcohol-free aftershave fluids in their scents, beware of added menthol in some scents though. HAGS has some pretty nice variations of their scents as witch hazel toners. Speaking of it, both TGS as well as Thayer’s offer a Witch Hazel + Cucumber toner (the cucumber extract is said to help moisturise your skin).

    Apart from those already mentioned:

    I also really support the idea of Stirling Soap Co. ASBs that someone already mentioned; these are great for dried out skin 👍🏻

      I have a HAGS soap, and it is great. I’m not sure though that I would consider the scent of Megalodon something that goes with anything.

      The trouble with ES is that they seem to be distributed nearly only by themselves…

        Hmm, perhaps Barberwood would be a good HAGS choice then? I find barbershop scents pretty much go with anything. The emulsion balms by WestMan might be the best choice for you then, however I only have MazaGran and that’s somehow a sweet & spicy coffee note - not sure how well it’d go with citrus/fresh shaving soap…

        Unfortunate. I got a lot of their (E&S) stuff at AboutBodyCare, but I’m not certain that they ship to France at an acceptable price.

        I may have a way better recommendation then: OAM Oli del benessere toner - it’s an alcohol denat. free aftershave toner with OAMs “wellness oils” scent. It pretty much goes well with most other scents, doesn’t break the bank, Rasoi Goodfellas even mentions that the scent of the toner is “less persistent than the alcohol version” so it doesn’t linger around too long to interfere with any perfume you might want to use.
