Thread: Simple post-shave solutions

I thought I would start a thread that examines some of the simple approaches to post-shave splashes and balms. I tend to use unscented products as much as I can.

So here is my short list of natural and unscented (at least no artificial scents) salves. My most favourite is plain Witch Hazel...this is a daily regular for me. Soothes and calms. Thayers makes different scents, but I prefer the unscented. As for balms...most of what I use I find in the kitchen:

Coconut oil. A small dab will work just fine. Melt it in your hands and apply

Olive oil. Again a very small amount will work just fine.

Eucerin cream base (generally not found in the kitchen). This cream is inexpensive and can be found in most pharmacies (sometimes found behind the pharmacy counter). It works best when mixed with a bit of water and massaged into your skin. Great for winter weather when your skin is dry and feels like crackers. Very soothing.

[Late edit -- forgot to add unrefined shea butter...an excellent post-shave balm]
