Thread: Aftershaves and balms

D.R Harris Splashes
Nivea Splash or blam
Witch Hazel
Alum block
Domninica Bay Rum Lime
Alt Innsbruck
FitJar - just got this but it's agreeing with me
RazoRock wax - winter only and don't use much/ this is the only thing I've used that calms down the skin after a really bad, really bad shave and is just awesome-sauce after that

Cold water rinse followed by witch hazel. I like to use Proraso balm if the weather is especially cold and dry.

Nivea balm. Wish I had found it a long time ago

Nivea Sensitive Skin Aftershave Balm actually burns for me, and does not leave me moisturized; I get dry and scaly during the day after that stuff. What works for me is an aftershave splash (I like Pinaud Clubman) mixed with a shea butter hand lotion.

Cold water, alum, cold water, and proraso. Recently tried a variation with the nivea, which I used to like, but feel the proraso rehyrates better.

Hey Guys,

I just make my own....It's inexpensive and it gives you an excuse to go by a bottle of Tangueray.

Thank you, all. I'm a newbie, and I'm using these forum's to learn. Thanks for your opinions, as they give me a place to start.

I've been using a cheap aftershave balm that has menthol but I might have to make my own after reading about some of the homemade delights.

Think you could give us your recipe or a vid on how you make it?

Costabo, I'm smiling just thinking about Hai Karate, Brut, Old Spice, and my "young and impressionable years". I'm with you, the pic alone is worth $30.00.
