Hey everyone,

I'm extremely new to the whole process of shaving with a straight razor (I had my 3rd and closest shave yet this evening), and I'm wondering, firstly, what the real differences between aftershave balms and more traditional aftershave products are, and secondly, what the pros and cons would be of using either of these types of products.

Also, what types of post-shave products do you guys use, in what order do you use them, and what benefits do you get from your particular setup?

Many thanks,

-Robert
