    Default After shave and lotion

    Has any one used an after shave and lotion combo? I like to use Old Spice original followed by Nivea for men After Shave Lotion. Wondering if any one else does something like this, or the other way around.

    I have used the Nivea Post Shave Balm, then hit the Old Spice about 20 minutes later.

    I used TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel followed by Pinaud Lime Sec.

    Nivea or AoS scent-free works with just about any AS (Bay rum, Old Spice, Clubman).

    Lately I have been using AoS Sandalwood balm with Ogalalla Bay Rum (2x strength).

    I tend to apply these in a combo. I pour a bit of asb in my hand, sprinkle in generous amounts of either Thayer's or an aftershave splash, then rub my hands together to mix evenly, and finally apply. This process helps me cut a thick asb like AoS to make it spread evenly without over applying it, and also gives me some of the benefits of the witch hazel, which might be overkill because I also use an alum block. Initially I used to be careful to only use unscented AoS due to combinations of scents, but I've stopped worrying about it and pretty much do this with any asb.

    I've also tried taking a dab of cold cream, hit it with some Thayer's or as splash, and it works perfectly, especially for the winter months. For summer, the glycerin in the Thayer's is probably sufficient moisturizer by itself.

    I'm a "combo" kind of guy as well.
    I enjoy the icy cold of Osage Rub while I do my post shave razor cleaning, then follow up with Nivea Post Shave Balm mixed with a dab of A.o.S. orange scented oil (I have dry skin).
    Sometimes I use the Art of Shaving post shave lotion instead of the Nivea, but I don't really like it quite as much.

    I do the combo too. Usually my A/s is Captains bay rum followed up by Ems balm. My biggest problem is that my wife seems to hate the scent of nearly every A/s I use. Has anyone tried Proraso? Is there a lingering scent? So far shes not a fan of Captains choice, DR Harris sandalwood, and Musgo Real. I'd like an option that blows off quickly.

    Proraso isn't a heavy lingering scent, and is mostly fairly mild. Alt-Innsbruk lingers as well, but is a really well liked scent, so it may not offend her.
