I noticed you used (before in a older thread) astringent, then corn huskers lotion then clubman AS. do you wait for each to dry before putting on the next ? does this help preventing the alcohol from clubman soaking in your skin ? thanks, chilly

The astringent first. I let it air dry. Then you can follow up with an ASB and splash. Not really needed but I like to finish of with a nice scented splash. The corn huskers is glycerin based and has similar properties to the Geo F Trumpers Coral skin food products which I love and use too. Some can't stand the scent of corn huskers. I personally do not find anything offensive to the scent. I really like it. It's cheap and moisturizes my skin perfectly.
