    I really like the Baume.be aftershave balm as well as the Castle Forbes Lime. Both are outstanding!

    I have Nivea post shave balm and it is great stuff for the money. I also really like the AOS sandalwood AS balm my wife bought me. Both feel great on a bit of razor burn. As mentioned above let it heal before shaving again I have found to be best advice.

    Immediately after shaving i use an Alum Bar, then a little Nivea AS Balm (lately).. About 5 minutes after i hit it with a mix of Aveeno, Castor Oil and Tea Tree Oil.

    That's a little bit too much for me as I would rather not have to mix my own tonic. Thank you anyway for your comments! Ed

    Proraso White is excellent for razor burn. I am allergic to it, though, so cant use it.

    When I do get burn, I like to use a combination of Speick Active followed by RazoRock after shave wax. Cures all ills, with a choice of nice scents from RR.

    Thank you all for your replies! What I am using now is Thayer's Medicated Super Witch Hazel, follow up with one of the following ; Myrsol Emulsion, Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood Skin Food, or Antica Barbieria Colla Red Sandalwood Aftershave Milk (got this from WCS). I especially like the Antica Barbieria Colla Red Sandalwood Aftershave Milk. It really leaves my skin soft and smooth! Ed

    I use an alum block after each shave and rinse with cold water. I love DR Harris Arlington aftershave milk which helps with razor burn. If I get overzealous and get a bad burn I use Clinique M lotion (for men, not specifically an aftershave but it really works for me).

    Default Best after shave lotion/balm for razor burn?

    After a normal shave without irritation, I too use often Nivea cream.
    You cannot beat the ordinary classic (blue pot or tin) Nivea for price and quality, but if you want something that is also cheap but feels less greasy initially (but won't protect quite as long) try Nivea Soft.
    There is also the recently introduced "Nivea Men" range that combines the advantages of the classic Nivea and Nivea Soft and was formulated especially "for men" but which is much pricier.
    Nivea classic and Soft work well enough for me.


    But for skin irritations, I found that baby creams like Penaten, or other creams that contain zinc, are much better to help irritated skin to recover.
    Penaten is a truly amazing skin product that like classic Nivea has been around for longer than I care to remember. (I am 63 now and my mom used it on me when I was in my diapers.) Most of these will make you look rather white in your face (think Japanese Kabuki theatre), so this I nothing I would care too cross a busy street with, but if you apply it in the evening (or small doses on the affected neck area in the morning) it will help your skin to heal and within a few hours the white is all disappeared and your skin will feel much better.

    Think about it this way: Whatever works on a baby's butt with a rash, can also work on your face. (Just make sure your get to use the cream first.) :-)
