Another vote for Nivea.

Definitely give it a shot. Its inexpensive and not oily. Works wonders. I use it as a daily lotion and asb. I've even been known to scent mine with a variety of oils.

Nivea for the win.

Anyone tried L'Occitane CADE balm?

I have, it's excellent, great smell too, but expensive. I use Nivea most of the time.

I use Shea Moisture's Shave Butter. It's actually intended as a shaving cream, but works terribly as such. It's marketed as all-natural and helps to prevent/relieve shave bumps and ingrown hairs. I massage it into my skin post-shave and it works fantastically! It has a slight citrus scent to it and always takes my BBS to another level.

Shea Moisture Shave Butter

I use the Cade Balm almost daily. To me, it is worth the price.

A good cheaper alternative at about half the cost is Institut Karite. This was not mentioned and if you can get it where you are, is to me, a slightly stepped up version of Nivea with Shea Butter. You could of course just use Shea Butter diluted on the face with a little witch hazel.

+1 to Corn huskers, at 3 bucks for a 200ml sized bottle at walmart , it has the same ingredients as skinfood, but without the great smell.

Thanks for the alternative, I'll check it out.

And I agree with you that the Cade balm is worth the money, I just don't have the money :p

Trumper's Skin Food is essentially corn huskers lotion with scent.

Another very good ASB that works pretty much like CADE, but with a different scent is Pre de Provence ASB.. Not sure what the prices for PdP ASB are in your area, but I think I paid around $12 here in the states, with Cade being around $28 or $30...

Both contain shea butter, with the PdP being just slightly thinner consistency, but just as effective.
