Thread: What post shave lotion to use?

Another vote for Nivea AS Balm... cheap, available everywhere and works well... as well as being unscented... true with most Nivea products.

I saw some witch hazel on sale while I was at the grocery store so picked some up, couldn't find the nivea though so I will have to keep looking. Did a shave and followed with witch hazel and aqua velva. Looks good now, I will let you know if it holds though tomorrow or gets dry.

I do not have a problem with my face drying out in winter since I live in Florida; but when I use a balm, I grab the Pre de Provence after shave balm. It is a balm concocted with butter and other emollients that give me good protection. Highly recommended.

Bee keepers can't use things with scent - it gets the girls stirred up, and not in a good way. I use jojoba oil if I think I need moisturizer.

cold water then some witch hazel and the a splash of good old brut aftershave

Speik aftershave balm is good. So is Pro Raso cream, Neutrogena balm and probably a lot of other products. Even Mennen Afta is pretty good. My favorite right now is the Speik product. It's a bit dear. Straight Razor Designs has it a a pretty good price.

Nivea "anti irritation" aftershave balm, I love the stuff!

Currently, I'm using Founder's Reserve Mandarin & Patchouli post shave gel. It's great if there's not much work for it to do & smells divine.
If i need more, I'll go to Pecksniff's After Shave Balm, to which i've added extra vitamin E oil.
I also use an Elemis post shave mask when the mood takes me. It leaves your face feeling amazing & in no need of anything more.

Elemis post shave mask is indeed a fantastic product. Bit on the pricey side, but worth every cent, IMO.

Are there any special mug soaps that moisturize while they are lathered up? Or are there any preferred lotions out there? I want moisturized skin without it looking or feeling greasy. I use aqua velva aftershave but probably wont use it during the winter months as it has alcohol in it to further dry my skin.

Thanks for any help.

I shave directly after I shower. So after I shave I clean up the bathroom and my brush, etc. then go get dressed. By the time I come back to the bathroom, my skin is dry. I then apply a VERY small amount of oil free moisturizer from Peter Thomas Roth. I have sensitive skin so I have to be very careful.
