Are you using Nivea's Sensitive Post Shave Balm? If so, I recommend rubbing your face with an alum block right after you've finished your shave and rinsed your face with cold water. Once you've rubbed your face with the alum, wait a minute or two, and then apply your post shave balm. If you prefer, you can rinse off the alum before you apply the post shave balm.

Alum has the astringent and antibacterial properties of alcohol, but lacks alcohol's drying and irritating side effects—making it, in my opinion, superior to any aftershave containing alcohol. As a bonus, alum also does a good job at stopping nicks from bleeding (although a styptic pencil is even better).
