Seeking recommendations on aftershave lotions/splashes (lemmy.world)

I am seeking a new fragrance/quality in my aftershave lotion/splash. I have tried the traditional ones like Brut, Aqua Velva, Old Spice, and Nivea Men.

I don't want to go overboard but I would be happy to try something a bit more pricy.

I live in the USA.

This is going to sound insane, but about six months ago, I started using 91% isopropyl alcohol as aftershave lotion, and my skin has never been clearer.

Once it is evaporated, I spray on a nice eu de parfum like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or Creed Aventus.

I have to preface this by saying my facial hair is not substantial in the slightest, like I can skip a day or two and look pretty cleanshaven, so I'm aware my shaving situation isn't quite standard. But... What part of that regimen rehydrates or protects your skin after? Shaving scrapes away a lot of the oil, the alcohol and scent will get the rest, no? Me, I need moisturiser after shaving like coconut oil. How is your skin not either jetting sebum out your pores or dry as parchment?

I have no idea. My partner thought I was nuts, but has come to admit that it seems to work for me.
