Baxter Aftershave is one of the most important cremes I have in my arsenal, aside from the testosterone rub, the alcohol swabs I use before injecting my EPO, and Butt Butter or whatever my chamois creme is called. At $15 a pop, it’s not particularly cheap, but the addition of moisturizers and antiseptic keep irritation at a minimum.
Not only does it have a pleasant smell and refreshing feeling, it opens the pores after a good, close shave to help moisturize and revitalize, leaving your skin clean and smooth with no bumps or rash. Just the other day, a neighbor remarked that my shave was magnificently smooth and close. I couldn’t have done it without Baxter.
Oh, and before you start thinking I’m some kind of sissy, know this: I never use this shit on my face. No sir, the good stuff is for the legs only.

That is kinda funny.
In Australia, "Baxter" is often used as a relatively affectionate nickname for a fella who "plays for the other team", as in "baxter the wall"...
Jesus Christ. Harden the fuck up.

Oh, Christ. I get enough of "those" questions as it is in the States wandering around in public with shaved guns.
In light of this input, I will reconsider my response to women asking how I get my legs so smooth and shiny, which is usually "I'm all about the Baxter, sister!!" I usually follow that up with a play on the "Gun Show" joke where I ask if she's got tickets and then I do a little dance with my arms out as I kiss both my thighs and then giggle.
I might have to rework that a touch.
@david
Hey! I already said I don't put this on my face!
Oh, well then. If you don't use it on your face, your manliness is restored, certainly!!
Btw, beautiful photograph.
So right now there are two guys in Australia and one guy in the States supposedly on a cycling blog but in reality swapping notes on fucking after shave balm for one's legs.
Think a collective Rule 5 revision class is in order.
Normally, I don't suggest that I said something in a better way than another. I tend to use too many words. But, Marcus, I think I can reduce your comment very accurately to four words: harden the fuck up. Given my propensity for more words, I might say, as I did, "Jesus Christ. Harden the fuck up, frank."
@david
I'm not the nancy-boy who waxed lyrical about a "beautiful photograph" of an after shave bottle.
David, I contend that right now that you yourself don't quite meet the definition of "hard as a cat's head".
Fuck Marcus, you have exposed me.
On principle, I cannot bring myself to enter into this discussion.
