Best after shave lotion/balm for razor burn?

Shea butter and don't shave until it has healed. Oh and witch hazel can be most helpful.

I make my own from one part Cornhusker's Lotion, one part food grade aloe, and two to three parts Alcohol Free Thayer's Witch Hazel, depending on how thick you want it.

I got that recipe early on from an SRP member but I cannot remember who it was.

I've been using it for years and I put it on right after rinsing the alum off while my face is still wet. I follow it up with an aftershave a few minutes later.

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel for a light to mild one. Kyoko for Men Razor Repair Balm works really well for severe.

I used Nivea but it has been a long time since any discomfort. Thayer's is used everyday, though.

I never get razor burn but I've often thought about giving Cornhuskers a try for winter time dry skin. Thanks Utopian.

Thayers makes a superhazel which is a medicated witch hazel. I've found it's just the thing for razor burn.

I was using Nivea ASB and then for Christmas the wife got me L'Occitane Cade ASB and the stuff is great! Minor skin problems have improved and no dry skin.

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.
