    Guys, what do you use to prevent irritation after shaving? I used many products and nothing barely helps. I heard about shungite water and it sounds weird https://shungite-c60.com/what-is-shungite/, the whole way it works, but who knows. I heard people with stomach issues drink it, so maybe it could be applied to the face?

    Ever tried Aveeno? Unfragranced hand cream or moisturizing lotion works well for me.

    Shungite looks to me just like another appearance of coal.

    for me i run the tap to get the coldest water i can and run it over my face and neck for two or three minutes it does the trick for me and feels great after i dont like putting stuff on my face straight after a shave after a shower though i use bulldog oil control that i find very good

    I usually only use the balms in the winter, and Nivea is the one I go to after day out in cold dry air. AoS also has nice balms, but the price is a little steep.

    I recently started getting a red rash on my cheeks above where I shave. Probably the cold dry weather or wind burn. I started using a sample of Captain's Choice shave balm and when that ran out Nivea sensitive. Rash is gone but I'm going to continue the balm through the cold weather. I really like the scent of the Nivea.

    Most days I use Thayer’s original or lemon scented followed by organic shea butter.

    In the summer, I sometimes replace the shea butter with aloe squeezed directly from a leaf. The shea can feel a tad greasy in the summer heat, but works great in the wind or cold days.

    I use Thayer Lavender Witch Hazel. Only a pea size amount of skin food is needed so a bottle will last a really long time. The fragrance is light and does not linger. Once your face soaks it in, about two minutes you can still use your favorite after shave.

    I think the order of application matters: first the skin-food/conditioner, wait a minute, and finally
    the astringent/aftershave.

    This allows for the skin to fully absorb the oils in the conditioner before the astringent "tightens
    things up." Anyway, that's what works best for me.

    Exactly how I do it. You can feel your face tighten.
