How much do you use?

How much a/s do you put on each morning? I really have no idea whether I'm using too much, enough, too little, etc. I'm using Ogallala BR w limes and peppercorn, if that is useful info.

Thanks!

I guess it depends on what it is. Musgo Real, maybe three shakes onto a damp face. Speick, up to around half a teaspoon...same for AV. Balms typically get about a nickle size. Trumpers Skin Food, only a couple drops. The list goes on....

I normally apply AS and then a scent separately, so the AS (or witch hazel) is used as an astringent and not to perfume me for the day. That being said, I will add a good-sized splash to the palm of one hand before rubbing my hands together and applying the juice to my face. It feels good and it usually gives a soothing burn and doesn't cost the world.

you use too much if people three offices down can smell you.

seriously I use about a dime size of splash and about a half almond size of balm. I use aftershave to enjoy the scent, not to kill my co-workers.

I use SCS aftershave milk, and it literally only takes a few drops a day, slapped onto a damp face with slightly wet hands.

Feels great and smells great.

But think of all the extra office space! I agree though. Use enough that you are getting the benefits of whatever it is you are using, without creating a scent force field.

The man should always linger longer than his cologne, or in this case, aftershave.

I usually shave at night, and thus don't have to worry about how much I put on as it fades somewhat while I sleep. Lately I've been applying a pretty small amount into my hand, rubbing them together and rubbing into the face. I don't have any a/s overflowing out of my palm and running down my arm, but I have over applied in the past.

Bay rum in general isn't particularly long-lasting. I have the Ogalalla bay rum aftershave/toner and the cologne. Wonderful scents, but you'd have to use a whole lot of it to approach overpowering. And even if you do, it'll settle down by the time you get to work.

The correct response is "as much as possible"

Next question.

I use ASB mostly...nothing with alcohol. a pea size amount is more than enough for me (mixed with a drop or two of water)

AS- one or two light tips of the bottle in my hand. ASM or balms- a nickel size is all I need.
