Something for the summer?

I've been using the post shave balm made by Anthony Logistics. It's good during the winter, but now that it's summer, my face is getting oily. I'm looking for a post shave treatment that's refreshing and cool and won't get my skin oily. Any suggestions?

Nivea cool balm. It is great for the skin and not greasy. You can get it at wally world

I prefer splashes during the summer, bay rum is great during the summer, pretty much anything with menthol feels good during the hot months

There's a similar thread, right below yours, on this topic. Personally my vote is for Proraso or Bay Rum. I've never tried Osage so I can't comment on that one.

Aqua velva will dry up that oil and cool you down real nice

Thayers Superhazel is the ticket.

Just think of the Vicks Vapor Rub that you used as a child. Now think of shaving, with a not so sharp razor, and rubbing Vicks on your face. That's about what Osage feels like, and smells like.

Assuming your face can cope with a lotion containing alcohol, try Acqua di Parma's after shave lotion from the barber's collection.

thayers is amazing for the hot months.

Also Geo F Trumper's Coral Skin Food (or similar skin food) is great for the summer heat/humidity.

Thayer's aloe/cucumber. No alcohol. Keep it in the fridge. I splash mine on at the kitchen sink. Makes me feel and smell as cool as a cucumber.

For Me, I am nuts about Poraso and Aqua Velva in the hot months!

Look for products that contain witch hazel. Plusgood if they are all natural and loaded with botanicals.

I have Weleda, Thayers (regular, and the AS), and proraso. Of those I like Weleda the best, it meets the above criteria and smells great.

For me, nothing beats regular old rose or lavender water during the summer months

I bought a mentholated aftershave splash... heaven!!

The Gentleman's Refinery has been a surprisingly good summer aftershave as well.
