Frequently Asked Questions

You've got questions, we've got answers

What’s the difference between aftershave and cologne in men’s grooming?

Aftershave is designed to soothe and disinfect the skin after shaving, often containing antiseptic ingredients and moisturizers. Cologne, on the other hand, is used purely for fragrance and usually contains a higher concentration of aromatic oils. While aftershave may have a scent, its primary function is skincare, not lasting fragrance.

Should I put cologne on after shaving?

Yes, you can apply cologne after shaving, but let your aftershave absorb first. Use aftershave to calm and protect your skin, then layer cologne on pulse points for scent. Just avoid applying cologne directly on freshly shaved or irritated areas, as it may sting or cause dryness due to higher alcohol content.

Can I use aftershave as a replacement for cologne?

You can, but it depends on your goals. Aftershaves offer a lighter, shorter-lasting scent while also helping your skin recover post-shave. If you're looking for a stronger, all-day fragrance, cologne is better. Some aftershaves, like traditional bay rum, can double as a light cologne when you want a subtle scent.

Is it okay to use aftershave and cologne at the same time?

Yes, using both is common and effective. Start with an aftershave to refresh and protect your skin, then apply cologne to your pulse points for a longer-lasting scent. To avoid clashing, choose complementary scents, like a bay rum aftershave paired with a matching cologne, for a layered, cohesive fragrance experience.

What kind of aftershave is best for preventing razor bumps?

Look for aftershaves with natural antiseptics like witch hazel, aloe vera, or bay leaf extract. These soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and help prevent ingrown hairs. Alcohol-free formulas are ideal for sensitive skin. Classic options like bay rum offer both antiseptic properties and a refreshing scent without overly drying the skin.

How many sprays of cologne is too much?

Generally, 2–4 sprays of cologne are enough, one on each wrist, behind the ears, or on the neck. Too much cologne can overwhelm people around you and fade faster due to overexposure. Less is more when it comes to fragrance; apply sparingly and let it naturally evolve throughout the day.

What’s the most classic American aftershave scent?

Bay rum is widely considered one of the most iconic American aftershave scents. Originally crafted in the Caribbean and adopted by U.S. barbers in the 19th century, its blend of bay leaf, warm spices, and citrus remains timeless. It’s a staple in classic men’s grooming and beloved for its nostalgic charm.
