King of Oud After Shave Splash
King of Oud After Shave Splash: companion to the King of Oud shaving soap. The bracing alcohol-based finishing step. Made in our New Jersey workshop.
King of Oud After Shave Splash is the bracing alcohol-based finishing step in the King of Oud shaving routine. Same fragrance compound as the King of Oud shaving soap; this splash carries the scent through the rest of the day.
The same scent in the WhollyKaw King of Oud shaving soap in an after shave splash with Dragon's Blood and pheromones from botanical sources. Botanical extracts are part of a conditioned post-shave feel. Splash is in our Feromone formulation.

What an after-shave splash does
An after-shave splash is the alcohol-based finishing step in a wet-shave routine. Three things it’s built to do:
- Antiseptic / antimicrobial. The alcohol kills the surface bacteria a shave can introduce through micro-cuts, particularly important for shavers prone to ingrown hairs or razor bumps.
- Astringent close. Alcohol contracts skin pores and the small surface vessels just opened by the warm lather for a comfortable post-shave feel.
- Scent throughline. The same fragrance compound from the shaving soap continues into the splash, so the scent doesn’t disappear at the rinse. Wears 2–4 hours typically.
If your skin doesn’t tolerate alcohol after shaving (eczema, rosacea, very dry skin types), the alcohol-free toner is the alternative finishing step. Some shavers layer splash THEN balm for both the antiseptic close AND the all-day conditioning.
How to use
After rinsing the lather, pat skin mostly dry. Cup 5–8 ml of splash in your palm, rub palms together briefly to break the alcohol bite, then press onto skin (don’t rub aggressively). Some shavers prefer slap-application for the bracing effect; others prefer the gentler press. The alcohol stings briefly, then evaporates within 30 seconds, leaving the fragrance behind.
The full King of Oud routine
King of Oud is built to layer. Each step continues the same fragrance compound through the day:
- King of Oud shaving soap: the lather (the start of the routine)
- King of Oud splash: alcohol-based, bracing, antiseptic close
- King of Oud toner: alcohol-free finishing for sensitive skin
- King of Oud 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 King of Oud throughline.
Who King of Oud After Shave Splash is not for
Honest limitations:
- Sensitive / very dry skin. Alcohol-based splashes can sting and dehydrate. The King of Oud toner is the alcohol-free alternative for sensitive types.
- Fragrance-sensitive skin. King of Oud carries a real fragrance load. Our unscented Bare Naked line (splash 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

As always, products are top notch. The soap lathers great and the aftershave is a wonderful scent. I have a vegan puck of the King of Oud and it's wonderful. The tallow version with a different scent is absolutely amazing. Joshua B., verified buyer

Frequently asked questions
When should I use King of Oud splash vs the toner?
Use the splash if your skin tolerates alcohol post-shave. The bracing antiseptic close + the small astringent benefit. Use the King of Oud toner if your skin is sensitive (eczema, rosacea, very dry types), or in summer when alcohol-based products feel too drying. Many shavers keep both for different days.
Will King of Oud splash sting?
Yes briefly: that's the alcohol evaporating. The sting fades within 30 seconds and leaves the fragrance behind. If sting is the problem, switch to the alcohol-free toner.
Can I use King of Oud splash AND balm?
Yes: many shavers layer splash (for the antiseptic close) followed by balm (for all-day conditioning). The splash evaporates first; then the balm seals in moisture.
Does King of Oud splash carry the same scent as the soap?
Yes: same fragrance compound. The splash is the second step in the King of Oud routine where the scent continues from the lather phase. Wear time on skin is typically 2-4 hours.
Where is King of Oud splash made?
In our New Jersey workshop. Small batches. The fragrance compound is mixed by an American perfumer.
