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?

Mühle Rasurlotion and Speick. They're alcohol + witch hazel with a light fresh scent. The witch hazel makes me optimistic about the "plays nice with my skin" part.

Pitralon.

Pitralon.

I would hahe been disappointed if you hadn't recommended it.

I think I had seen Speick in German supermarkets, so I guess I should be able to get this

Shit, I just read @[email protected]'s skin care advice on your other question (thanks Dave, btw!). I had forgotten about your menthol sensitivity. Speick has menthol.

thanks Dave, btw!

No problem! 👍🏻
ADHD hyperfocus can be quite useful sometimes and this is one of my current favourite topics. If I can help a fellow wetshaver with my acquired knowledge, even better! I now plan to write a little skincare essay for our instance which I hope to finish around the end of this month, as I want to consult with some experts too.

I hope that I can keep my promise of finishing it in time. Will do my best ✌🏻

I'm wôndering though if this is sensitive to dosage: I have used Proraso Green preshave for years without issue, and AFIK AYLM's Marduk also contains menthol, but I did get strange skin feelings with both Don José ast Meissner Tremonia soaps with menthol.

Well, speick splash is a small enough investment to just give it a try👍
