Thread: Best Moisturising Aftershave Balm

For years I’ve always preferred Ems balm. I still do. But I’ve recently discovered Razorock’s after shave wax. I like the 888. It has a eucalyptus scent that blows off in minutes. It has a slight cooling effect and leaves the face feeling great. Ems is still the gold standard for me.

Geo. F. Trumper's skin foods and Castle Forbes balms; I would be shocked to find anything that performs better for moisturizing and soothing.

Only recently did I add in a splash of witch hazel prior to applying the post-shave, and I soon discovered that this extends balm "mileage" quite dramatically.

The other day my wife went grocery shopping. She brought home some Duke Cannon after shave balm. She said it was on sale.....
Anyway, tried it and believe it not, I find it better than anything that I have tried that has been store bought. It just beats out the high end, overpriced, over rated, big names by a huge margin. Who would have thought?

Works for me and that's really all that matters. Try it, you may be surprised!

I only use balms on very cold winter days where I'm going to be working outdoors.

My go to balm is Floris, in #89 or Santal flavor.

I like the Rocky Mountain Sandalwood aftershave balm.

Makes my face feel great after my shave, very moisturizing, dries fast and smells lovely.
