You might also try Noxema.
I have used it as a pre-shave cleanser for the past month and my skin has really enjoyed the extra moisturizer. Cheap, and it goes a long way.

Nivea for sensitive skin! Wish I had found it sooner. I do 1-2 hits of witch hazel and then the balm. My necks turns red when it sees a razor always has, but I this works great for me.:gl:
Proraso White ASB is excellent. I wish I could use it, but I am allergic to the sweet almond in it.
So I switched to Nivea Sensitive ASB. Works about as well for healing as Proraso, but I didnt like the scent.
So I tried some other stuff, and ended up with a pair that I have been using for a few weeks: Speick, and a few minutes later (not immediately!), RazoRock AS Wax.
The healing is absolutely there. Better than the Proraso White ASB, which I thought was the best. And the combination of the scents is pretty awesome.
For sensitive skin you need quality products.
For me, the best aftershave balm for a sensitive skin, especially for the winter, is K3 ekstra from Fitjar:

Too bad it is not available any more. I keep it safe in the fridge with my old P.160 as if it was gold.
I also like Siena from Crabtree & Evelyn:

Sometimes, I don't use a balsam and I prefer to apply a tiny ammount of unrefined shea butter with excellent results (if you don't mind the natural scent of shea butter):

I have maintained the same aloe plant for the last 15 years. As needed, I cut off a leaf and use about 3/4 of an inch of it each day. Rub it between your hands to separate the green exterior from the inner good stuff and then spread it on your face. I usually use this in combination with Thayer's witch hazel.
I also make my own aftershave balm. I got this formula off of SRP years ago and I don't recall who it was that posted it.
DIY balm:
1 part Cornhusker's lotion (I promise the smell fades soon after the balm is mixed)
1 part aloe
2 parts Thayer's Witch Hazel (adjust as desired to alter consistency)
I keep one version as is and another one which has a small amount of Ogallala bay rum added to it.
I really like nivea balm sensitive. It has no burn, leaves skin soft, an doesn't irritate me at all. On top of all that its $5. I use it 3-1 over my expensive aftershaves.
I have fairly sensitive skin and have been using Taylor of Old Bondstreet and really enjoy it. It feels great on my skin and I enjoy the scent as well.
Speick AS Balm I found to be pretty good stuff with a mild pleasing scent. It's made for sensitive skin.
