Thread: Aftershaves and balms

I use cold water then alum block then cold water rince, alcohol-free witch hazel and Weleda followed by GFT Sandelwood Skin Food. If I had to use only one, which I do quite often for work, I use the Weleda's Aftershave Balm...love it.

+1 on Weleda. I recently discovered it after receiving a small sample. It's a great balm and I'll be picking up a bottle soon.

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

Where do you get alcohol-free witch hazel?

fmlondon, I got mine from SRD.

lately i've been into floid Blue. it has a nice powdery scent and a slight menthol kick. I bought a 100 ml decant of it and think thats the perfect size.

Thayers can also be found at Natural Grocers stores and someone mentioned The Vitamin Shoppe

As a bona fide cheap skate (because of limited income, believe me I used to be a "only the best for me" guy) and having sensitive skin I found than an aloe gel works wonders for me after a hot then cold rinse. The aftershave burn rapidly subsides. It is also excellent for sunburn, very soothing.
