Pasha's Pride After Shave Toner
Pasha's Pride After Shave Toner: companion to the Pasha's Pride shaving soap. The alcohol-free finishing step for sensitive skin. Made in our New Jersey workshop.
Pasha's Pride After Shave Toner is the alcohol-free finishing step for sensitive skin in the Pasha's Pride shaving routine. Same fragrance compound as the Pasha's Pride shaving soap; this toner carries the scent through the rest of the day.
The same scent in the WhollyKaw Pasha's Pride shaving soap in an after shave toner with Dragon's Blood and Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer. Dragon's Blood is a hydro-glycolic extract obtained from the latex of the tree Croton Lechleri, with multiple beneficial properties for skin care treatments.

What an alcohol-free toner does
An after-shave toner is the alcohol-free alternative to the splash, same finishing-step role, gentler chemistry. The key actives are:
- Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer: a cross-linked form of hyaluronic acid. It sits on the skin as a thin, non-sticky film rather than absorbing straight in, so the humectant effect lasts longer than plain hyaluronate.
- Dragon's blood (Croton lechleri resin): a hydro-glycolic extract of the latex of the Croton lechleri tree, studied in topical skincare research for its taspine and polyphenol content.
- Pentylene glycol and propanediol: the humectant and solvent pair that carries the fragrance in a water base. No alcohol, no menthol.
- Scent throughline. Same fragrance compound as the shaving soap; lower wear time than the splash (~1–2 hours) because no alcohol carrier.
The toner is what to pick if you have eczema, rosacea, contact dermatitis, or very dry skin types that react to alcohol-based products. Some shavers use toner in summer (lighter feel) and splash in winter (more bracing).
How to use
After rinsing the lather, pat skin mostly dry. Shake the bottle, then a few drops to palms and onto the face. No need to break the formulation, press onto skin with a light wipe. The toner absorbs quickly with no sting. There is no alcohol and no menthol in it, so there is no bracing or cooling hit; the finish is a light, non-sticky film.
The full Pasha's Pride routine
Pasha's Pride is built to layer. Each step continues the same fragrance compound through the day:
- Pasha's Pride shaving soap: the lather (the start of the routine)
- Pasha's Pride splash: alcohol-based, bracing close
- Pasha's Pride toner: alcohol-free finishing for sensitive skin
- Pasha's Pride balm: final conditioning step, longest scent throughline
For all-day skin support without competing scents, our grass-fed tallow zinc oxide cream is unscented, an unscented daily moisturizer that won’t fight the Pasha's Pride throughline.
Who Pasha's Pride After Shave Toner is not for
Honest limitations:
- Shavers who want a stronger close. The toner is alcohol-free and gentler. If you want the bracing alcohol kick, the Pasha's Pride splash is the alternative.
- Fragrance-sensitive skin. Pasha's Pride carries a real fragrance load. Our unscented Bare Naked line (toner included) is the alternative.
- Strict ingredient minimalists. Each post-shave product has its own preservative system; if you want the shortest possible ingredient deck, balms are the simplest.
Cost per use
A bottle lasts roughly 60 applications at typical use:
- $21.99 / ~60 uses ≈ $0.37 per use

Frequently asked questions
How is the toner different from the splash?
The toner is alcohol-free; the splash is alcohol-based. Both are finishing steps in the post-shave routine. Toner uses a sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and dragon's blood in a water base for a light, non-sticky finish; splash uses alcohol for the bracing effect. Toner is gentler on sensitive skin.
Can I use Pasha's Pride toner if I have eczema or rosacea?
The toner is the post-shave option many shavers with sensitive skin conditions choose because it's alcohol-free. That said, every skin is different, patch test on a small area first if you have a diagnosed condition, and consult your dermatologist if symptoms flare.
Does Pasha's Pride toner sting?
No. There is no alcohol and no menthol in it, so there is nothing to sting. The toner is the quiet, film-forming post-shave register, not the bracing-alcohol one.
Can I layer toner with the balm?
Yes: toner first (thin, quick to absorb), then a balm pea-size for all-day conditioning. The toner absorbs quickly enough that you don't need to wait long before the balm.
