Thread: Bert's Bees Aftershave

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone say something positive about their shaving products. I've never seen them sold here in Edmonton (although we have the entire line of other skin care products), which is probably a good thing - prevents me from spending 'curiosity money' on crap.

Looks like it might be a case of the initial product (hand cream?) being very good and then they sold out to some big company whose marketing a-holes decided to put the name on everything from toothpaste to sunscreen. Or "Bert" if he even exists, decided to go for it himself. Like Bose... "better profits through marketing"

I'm working my way through Bert's ASB. It's tolerable when I use a splash of witch hazel before applying, and near useless by itself.

I agree that this is one of those marketing things. I ended up with this because SWMBO loves all Bert's products. Really a shame it's not so good as it has a nice earthy smell and is widely available.

I'll give the witch hazel thing a try to see if I can use it up..

Love love love the smell of the stuff, but the now decidedly greasy mess it leaves on my hands is a dealbreaker.

I just recently purchased some Burt's Bees Aftershave for around $6 at Publix grocery. I find after I use an alum block my face dries out quick and a sparingly minuscule amount on two fingers blends well with my Taylor's of Old Bond St. Shaving cream but too much is a mess. I enjoy the Burgamont in it but I would much prefer using a matching aftershave if not for the price .
