A lot of the mens fragrances don't include a splash type aftershave (at least not in the places I go!), so the choice gets a bit restricted. Is it safe to use EDT which everyone sells? What do the fragrance houses expect guys to use if they don't make an after shave?

My local supermarkets sell - er - Lynx. And more Lynx.
When I look in scent counters, out of say 20 scents, maybe 4 include aftershave, and probably 1 or 2 that I like enough to pay proper prices for.

No, using EDT is not the same as using an after-shave. While EDT is specifically made for the fragrance, after-shave contains chemicals that help prevent fungal growth in the shave area while providing an antiseptic protection for nicks and wounds caused by the blade, which hosts trillions of microbes.
After shave lotions or balms, in addition, keep the shave area softer while EDT, being based on alcohol, can cause it to dry and get rought and hard, giving your face an ugly, dry look while making it difficult to shave.
If the brand of fragrance you use doesnt make an after-shave with the line, you might wish to look for others that include one. Alternatively, you can select an after-shave lotion or balm that is fragrance free- so that it wont mix with the scent of your perfume. Nivea, as far as I know, makes fragrance free after-shave balm but I'm sure there are other varieties available.

Where on earth do you do your shopping? Does your aftershave have to be one of the top perfumery labels? I shop in a UK Tesco and the supermarket has several aftershave choices. If I want a really good one and I'm prepared to pay the price there are two good perfumery shops in my local town centre where I can get Obsession,LaCoste,Armani and quite a few other aftershaves.

yes its fine to use !!! normally EDT is longer lasting , hence it is more expensive (you should be able to find the equivalent in A/Shave though?? )

Fail in step with possibility the ladies are not the challenge - truly in all possibility its you and your poor concepts-set. If all women are discriminating and complicated in direction of you, in step with possibility that could enable you comprehend some thing.
