    Default Best after shave lotion/balm for razor burn?

    What do you guys use as your best after shave lotion/balm to heal razor burns? I have been using Thayer's Witch Hazel with Aloe first and then applying a little Tabac (I'm a Tabacoholic) balm. Wondering if anyone has come up with a "magic" formula.

    My new discovery without a doubt has been Esbjerg Aftershave Oil....SRD has it, love the stuff.....I have also used the Thayers as well.

    I,ll throw another out there, though I really don't get razor burn anymore , but I used Nivea for the longest time, and then gave tryed many, the hot humid days just felt better with an aftershave balm, so I got the Myrsol Emulsion, recently and this stuff is really good, my go to from here on out till something comes up better, but it's better than the 20-25 others I've tryed. YMMV. Tc

    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.
