I read somewhere on the internet that the after shave with alcohol is to prevent infections on the skin, but i really dont like to use it because it causes severe redness to my skin, today was worse than ever i remember, i tried the Brut aftershave lotion and i got a serious red face and i had to go to the drugstore to get some medicated cream to calm down my skin and reduce redness (the cream is sensibio).
So the question is: is really necesary for healthy reason use lotion with alcohol.
Because i have better luck with balms like nivea, nomad or even the gillette gel that contains a little bit of alcohol.
I should say that redness dont come with the shave, it comes only if i use a lotion and today especially with that Brut lotion, so i believe is not a technique issue due to the fact that i use almost no pressure and im not getting cuts and nicks.
