Stick With 'Balm, or go to Aftershave?
My bottle (tiny jar?) of Nivea Post Shave Balm: Sensitive is nearly empty. I'm trying to figure out if I should get another, or try an AS I've been eyeing?
Slight tangent: As a youth, I remember getting a bar of British Sterling bar soap with a box of food 'n such that my mom brought home from a food bank (or similar entity). As a teen, I really liked the scent! It was not overpowering, and had more than a single "note" to it. I think the primary note was some sort of sawdust type of thing; and if there was a "musk" note, it was THANKFULLY very subtle.
That was probably 15 years ago. I don't know if they changed their formula. I thought it was discontinued until just this past year, actually. I don't believe I've seen the soap, but I have come across the cologne & AS. Sadly, there haven't been any open samples that I could take a whiff of. So I'm not sure if I'd even like them.
With the balm I've been using, I appreciate the soothing effects, and that it doesn't feel oily afterwards.
The point: Should I just replace the balm or take a leap of faith & get the AS? Or should I "balm & cologne"?
P.S. Does anyone have any experience with British Sterling?
