Review
After applying the aftershave lotion, it does feel very refreshing with its old school scent. It softens the skin with a slight medicinal smell. However, if you have any razor burn, you might feel a bit sting due to its alcohol content. In addition, if your skin is sensitive to alcohol, your might want to try a cream based, non-alcoholic product like Edwin Jagger’s Aftershave Lotion instead.
On another bright side, the scent is not super strong or heavy. Certain cologne with scent of aqua-based does complement it. Some amn even used this aftershave as a cologne itself by applying a 2 – 3 times a day.

Verdict
Overall, I feel this is a great product for normal skin type and because it really does soften the skin/beard and its natural scent. If you are looking for a quick and easy to use aftershave lotion with old school refreshing scent, this menthol based aftershave lotion is what you want to try!
