Aftershave

This stuff is wonderful:

Stuff is great for cleaning strings.
Alcohol cleans out the gunk and it contains a light lubricant for silky fingering.
Just keep it off the fret board.

Also throngs of women will be drawn to your guitar case for reasons they can't explain. ;)
 
I don't use an aftershave, (although I sport a greying beard...), but the thing that I notice the most lately is that the guys that think they need that kind of "help" usually overuse it and and it just REEKS when you're around them and it gets on everything that they touch! I have to drive a vehicle that is shared by others at work and the shoulder strap just reeks of whatever aftershave/cologne the previous person is wearing and it gives me a headache!!

If it's a "comfort" problem with the skin, then consult a doctor. Otherwise just shave and move on.
