    Default Suggestions for splashes with little or no alcohol

    My skin doesn't do well with typical alcohol based aftershave splashes so I've used witch hazel for 25 years. That does get a little boring and there are some alcohol based splashes I've found are OK such as the Booster line and Florida Water. I assume these have lower alcohol content? I'd like to try some new splashes (Proraso, Speick etc...) but am hoping to get some recommendations from other forum members. I'm also interested in any witch hazel based splashes. Thanks in advace...

    Master's Bay Rum is low alcohol. At least, I get no burn from it.

    DR Harris Pink!

    Are you bored with Witch hazel or the scents of your Witch hazel based splashes? There are lots of different splashes out there with witch hazel as a base but scented differently.

    You could always pick up some of the Thayer's alcohol free witch hazel, there's an unscented version you could just add EO's to if you wanted

    If you got one with no alcohol then you wouldn't have anything to drink. That means you would have no choice left but to put in on your face, of all things. Sheesh, what as this world come to.

    Great suggestions! I already like Lucky Tiger products so got some this week and it's got a great scent and really leaves my skin feeling smooth.

    I went to the link Joshuathecomposer posted and liked the sound of the Minty Menthol so ordered a bottle from Em's.

    It looks like there are some other good suggestions as well.

    Thanks!

    I can't think of any alcohol-free splashes, as opposed to balms, except Lucky Tiger After Shave & Face Tonic. I bought a bottle of this stuff a few months ago mainly for the purpose of bringing the price of my order up to the amount qualifying for free shipping. Didn't even sniff it for a couple of months after that. When I finally did use it, I was very pleasantly surprised. It's not a significant moisturizer, but it works very well as a soothing, healing, and toning product. Absolutely no burn and no grease. Upon application you get a pleasant, citrus (as in "grapefruit") scent which hangs around for maybe a minute or two and then completely vanishes. There's no worry about this clashing with any cologne you may want to use. This characteristic can either be desirable or not depending on your preferences; for me it's a "plus" as it permits me to wear any cologne I might want to use.
