Thread: Unscented post shave cream/treatment advice

The knowledge, experience and advice found in here is amazing!

Be certain it's no more of a peppermint scent than. A mild tooth paste...more like a good looking lady with fresh breath. If you see it in a shop give it a test you'll be happy. More importantly castle is hard to beat I am shocked how much I like these and Esbjerg is here locally. Apparently Scotland makes better cream and germania better razors

Since I frequently go into places that have a no scent policy, I have avoided using scented aftershaves and balms for quite a while. Happily, I’ve discovered drug store witch hazel as an aftershave and organic shea butter as a kind of balm. No lasting scent and they leave my face feeling really good. Have to watch how much shea butter I use or my face feels like a greased pig. A little goes a long way.

These two items are superb and exactly what I was going to recommend, especially, the unrefined shea butter, which I have been using for the past 20 years or so and I find it the best moisturizer I have ever tried, all be it, it can be a tad greasy, for some individuals, but you can always use a towel to lightly wipe off any excess residual after a few minutes.

I use and can recommend Florame after shave balm, unscented, organic and contains argan oil:
