SMN. (While I prefer the non alcohol version, the normal line is fantastic)
C&S (I have both 88 and O&C. They don't "seem" moisturizing, but my face looks and feels amazing afterwards)
Boellis (I like the Lotion a lot more than Balm)
Kramperts (Frostbite more, but Bay Rum is no joke also)
Derby
Myrsol (particularly Antesol, F/Extra & Blue ... Emulsion also great, but no alcohol)
Sort of in the order of my level of enjoyment

of the ones I've tried in no particular order:
Krampert's Finest Bay Rum
Stirling
B&M Reserve
like some of the other gents said in this thread, I have fairly dry and sensitive skin so I can typically get away with wearing alcohol splashes in the summer since it's usually humid in Philly, but in the winter...probably not so much!

You should try Chatillon Lux andrewjs18. Right up there with Barrister's Reserve. Granted I've only used the beta test version of BR. I don't know if the formula changed between that and production though. I don't think it did, only the scent was tweaked.

The formula was completely overhauled in response to tester feedback. I cared more about the performance than the scent; I knew there were problems with the scent, but I also knew that they could and would be fixed internally, so what I really wanted to know was what people thought of the performance. The exercise proved to be extremely productive and we revised the base according to the feedback we received. It's far improved from the beta test.
Shawn's splashes are excellent, by the way. Really top-grade work.

I second and third wyze0ne 's post - I too have only used the test version of Barrister's Reserve and I do like Krampert's Finest but the Chatillon Lux Aftershaves in my experience are far and away the most moisturizing and face nourishing (is that even a thing?) alcohol splashes that I have used. The only post shave product that would be more moisturizing would be Chatillon Lux's toners, Barrister and Mann's Kyovu and actual balms.

I'm still waiting with eager anticipation I know you've probably answered this in the past but things can change - are you still planning on revamping Kyovu and continuing with that product in your line up?
