Thanked: 0Aftershaves for sensitive skin
What are some quality aftershaves for sensitive skin? I've just bought Proraso Sensitive Aftershave Balm (white) and I'm very pleased. Is it among the quality aftershaves and brands?

Thanked: 1184hmm I wonder about Witch Hazel. I use it because it's natural for the most part. It does have a tiny bit of alcohol in it. Then I can use any cologne I want without conflict. Reason...my colognes are very expensive and without having to buy the aftershave that goes with it I get more variety. But back to topic :<0) it may be good for your skin too I just don't know.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Is this the Proraso you are asking about?
If so,....yes it is good, at least for me.
Our climate is very dry so I don't use alcohol based after shaves only balms.
Good luck

I've still to find anything better than Nivea Aftershave Balm for Sensitive Skin. Leaves about as neutral a feeling as air. But I do on occasion, when I want that kick in face effect (and only rarely), I will use a little dab of 444, a Portuguese aftershave gel. But all Dove also makes an AS Balm. Tried several and keep coming back to the Nivea.

Thanked: 55Second order of thayers witch hazel and aloe vera on the way to me. Still not managed to try it, post shattered first order. If the ingredients have been stored correctly (aloe vera especially) this should be good.

Thanked: 4I am also a fan of the white Proraso, small white glass jar, not as shown above.
Because of the hype around The Body Shop maca shaving cream and an O2 Priority deal I grabbed myself a tube of TBS maca shave relief which I'll be trying out over the weekend and will report back.

By sensitive skin, do you mean that you don't like the alcohol-based aftershaves that leave a quick burn or that they do something to your skin? It's more of a curiosity than help. I've never used a balm, just aftershave (Old spice, Aqua Velva etc).

Thanked: 55Have to say I agree with the Nestle boycott. No matter how good the product.
