Hello all,


a friend of mine told me that he doesn't use aftershave or any kind of post shave treatment (splash, lotion, balm, alum block...) but a simple, basic, conventional skin moisturizer (his wife's actually). He shaves, then rinse/wash throughly his face, dry it, and then apply the moisturizer.

Considering the price difference between a simple skin moisturizer and an actual aftershave balm or lotion, I wondered if he had a good point.

What do you think guys?
Are aftershave balms or lotions actually better than basic skin moisturizers?
Does the difference in quality (if any) justify the difference in price?


Thank you,
Christophe.
