lol - it's funny that you mention it, but I still have a bit of the old formula too . That stuff really worked a trick as well, although I prefer the scent of the maca root version.

I was feeling pulling during shaving, tried 3 razors with no change
got some Proraso post/pre shave cream in the jar and the problems seemed to go away

Well...there are pretty good recommendations here .

if you have oily skin to begin with, you probably won't need a moisturizer as the oil will naturally keep you moisturized. What you can do, is just use simple Witch Hazel Astringent (has alcohol) or toner (without alcohol). You are good to go ...and of course, any cologne that you wish to wear (not on the face though)

What I do post shave, is mix a little after shave (like Floid or DR. Harris, etc...) with some Trumper Moisturizer (or DR. Harris Milk), rub the mix in the palm of my hands and apply to face....Keeps me feeling FANTASTIC all day

nivea is great and inexpensive, trumpers skin food is my next purchase

Living in a cold dry environment half the year I exclusively use after shave balms. I used to use the splashes but found that they just weren't as kind to my face. Although any good non-alcoholic (for my preferance) balm will moisturize, I prefer Truefitt and Hill balms.

The Jack Black line is excellent! Mens Skin Care, Mens Grooming, Shaving Cream, Gift Sets by Jack Black

I use the moisturizer and post shave every day.

OK, everyone will say I'm nuts, but here goes. I have oily skin. I use a good shave soap, like SRD's or MWF, and after shaving a cold water rinse followed by Dominica Bay Rum. The alcohol in the bay rum counteracts the moisturizers in the soap, leaving my skin where I wish it was all of the time. The bay rum does have a bit of glycerin in it, so it does moisturize a bit, but not to a large extent. Ice Blue Aqua Velva does the same, but has more glycerin in it.

+1 on the nivea aftershave balm.

I have sensitive skin and it works as well or better than most of the pricier balms I have tried. Before the balm I use Thayer's Witch Hazel (no alcohol with aloe).
