Thread: Best lotion

I really like the unscented AoS aftershave balm. I should say that I pretty much exclusively use the AoS unscented cream and pre-shave oil too, so I'm pretty biased. (I don't work for them or anything; just a fan.) That stuff is easily available at a nearby brick-and-mortar store and I haven't so far found anything that's easier on my skin. That said, even if I didn't use anything else from them, I'd still use their aftershave balm.

Tack, I agree about the Institute Karrite balm also , I use it when I use the same soap , they go well together, I just don't use a balm much , but a bargain it is , very little needed. Tc

Yep

I use the Karite soap as well. It's a good solid, middle tier soap - good price/performance ratio - with the same powdery scent.

I like Dolerma. Alt-Innsbruck is the same thing. Mainly wheat germ oil, lanolin with a little menthol. Goes on a little greasy but absorbs quickly.

Speick followed a couple of mins later by Razorock Aftershave Wax.

I only use Penhaligons Opus 1870 Balm.
For me its the best . Its not cheap but the way it leaves your face. It has me for life.

I guess nivea balm is my day to day but my favorite is Esbjerg Verbena aftershave balm its just feels and smells delicious.

I like Nivea, and don't hate the smell, just much prefer things that smell more natural. These days the two on the bathroom shelf for when I use balm are:

and

I use cetaphil lotion with a sprinkle of my favorite after shave mix and apply

I've been playing around with combinations of Aloe Vera Gel, a little Witch Hazel to adjust viscosity, some Nivea - regular or sensitive and either Lemon or Lime essential oil to suit.

Alternate that with the Cornhusker version stated earlier.
