Thread: How many AfterShave Balms do you have?

Three balms at the moment. T&H 1805,Trafalgar, and Proraso White.

AOS, proraso, nivea, and shea butter, coco butter and my new fav is jojoba oil. Scented stuff irritates me.

Three splash AS's and one balm.

For balms, I only have T&H unscented balm, and Razorock after-shave wax, if that counts as a balm. I prefer lotions when it comes to scent but I need the moisturizing, so I end up using both.

Four that I can think of right now. I use them mainly if my skin is tender after the shave. Otherwise, my face feels greasier than clean which is why I much prefer alcohol-based aftershave.

I have:

1. Truefitt and Hill 1805
2. Nivea Sensitive
3. Nivea Regular
4. Arko Sport (aftershave gel, don't know if it qualifies as a balm)

For tenderness, good old fashioned Original Avon Moisture Cream has kind of a sporty scent to it and is the very best when it comes to healing up the face before the next time the razor gets a whack at it.

I can't get enough of Weleda's Aftershave Balm. I use GFT Sandalwood Skin Food afterwards. I love the two separately or together!

Oh I have a few - big fan of the balms. Lets see - I have to have about 7 or 9... plus the creams to go with them. I like to layer too .

I find that when it starts to get hot though, the balms like to have a little water added so they don't bog down. But come the height of summer here in KS, I haven't found a one yet that doesn't bog down and just feel sticky. That's when menthol anything gets the nod lol!! Oh how I love menthol .

But all joking aside. I do like splashes too. I just find the balms the most soothing.

I like my splashes, but have the following balms
Nivea
L'Occitane Cade - this needs to be available in a splash!
RazoRock Wax

I like RazoRock best, for a balm type product. Would love it even better if it was available unscented too.
This stuff calms any irritation hands down the best, compared to anything else I've tried.

But I still like the splashes best of all

EShave lime verbena
Proraso sensitive skin
Giorgio Armani - attitude extreme
Dove men's

Really like them all, but the lime verbena is my fav

As for balms/creams, I currently have Brut, Body Shop, and Nivea. I like to use them when either my face is dry, or I have a bad shave with some irritation. Mostly, I like to use an aftershave splash.
