Probably not, but you'll probably feel like crud for a while. Call your local Poison Control Center NOW. They'll tell you what to do and what to watch for.

how much?
after shave lotion and also surgical spirit contain ethanol and a small quantity of methyl alcohol (methanol)
this additive is often done to make the compound poisonous and to discourage people from consuming it.
too much methanol can cause blindness and liver damage and requires urgent treatment. but a drop or more cannnot do any harm.
if u had too much i would suggest urgent gastric lavage

If it's a very small amount, it won't kill you but you may not feel too well but if it is a large amount... then yes...
