How it's used
This term is a direct translation of the English product name and is widely understood in Hong Kong. While many men simply refer to it by the English word aftershave, using the Cantonese term is perfectly natural in a retail or home context. It is specifically used for the liquid applied to the face after shaving to soothe the skin.
