Thread: Jack Black Post Shave cooling gel

Not being a frequent user of after shave balms I decided that for $5.00 I could try out this Jack Black version. It was up against Nivea Extreme Comfort Balm which I have on hand for the few, thankfully, occasions I royally screw up and give myself razor burn.

I used it this after this mornings shave for no other reason than to try it out. The Jack Black did indeed have a cooling sensation and did not leave my face feeling greasy after using it. I suspect it would work well in calming irritated skin.

I was surprised when I checked out the retail price on the Jack Black balm as compared to the Nivea balm I had relied on. For the substantial cost difference I will be sticking with the Nivea version when I need more in the future as both appear to be able to do a similar job well.

I'm with you, Bob. I bought some of the Jack Black and used it once when I had some BAD razor burn after shaving off my mustache and going ATG (fool's pass, indeed!).

It worked well enough, but I couldn't stand the scent. Getting the same performance as the Nivea balm, the scent and the cost comparison were just too overwhelming to sway me to purchase more. I actually gave the rest of the bottle away, having used it maybe 2 or three times.

It's good enough, just not my cup of tea.
