Good Morning Keith,
I agree with you completely..Balms should be in a squeeze type container..but this leads me to my next and continuing problem; There seem to be several types of Aftershave:
Aftershave, Aftershave Tonic, Aftershave Balm, Aftershave Milk, Aftershave Lotion.
By description from other fellas this is my understanding:
Aftershave- a true aftershave is used after the shave to disinfect, tone and tighten the pores, alcohol based, not scented...but could be, essential oils only--appropriate container ( PET bottle w/dispensing cap)
Aftershave- also seems to fall in the category of a light cologne, alcohol based, light scent..essential oils or fragrance -container (a nice heavy masculine glass w/small hole for shaking to dispense)
Aftershave Balm-Milk-Lotion- Still in the class of a true aftershave, with a diluted alcohol base of maybe 20% ...or maybe no alcohol, the base would be witch hazel, aloe vera... with added emollients for gents with sensitive or dry skin. --container ( a squeeze type or maybe something with a pump??)
Now Please feel free to chime in, At first these differences seemed a bit confusing to me. Am I on the right track?
