    Default Aftershave treatment

    Hello Ladies!

    Iīm into traditional wetshaving since nearly a year now. Iīm useing different straight razors and DEīs and I do really enjoy my shaves. The only problem I have is the dry skin around the shin area. Usually I donīt have any problems with dry skin, this is the only part of my body which is really prone to drying out. It doesnīt matter if I use shaving soap or cream, I always end up with the same result.

    Products I have used:

    -Several Bodylotions --> Lead to pimples
    -Different Oils ---> too greasy, I canīt get dressed immediately after using them
    -AS lotions (Floid etc) ---> they make my skin feel smooth, but the skin is still dry
    -AS balms---> itchy skin and pimples

    The only product which worked quite well for me is "Vifrex" Aftershave gel. But I canīt stand the smell any more, so Iīm looking for a second product which works as good as the Vifrex.

    So I need a product which has a nice scent or doesnīt smell at all, which absorbs very quickly, doesnīt lead to pimples and hydrates my skin

    I hope you have some tips for me!

    Try searching for products using Emu Oil, it has many uses for skin problems and also has a rehydration effect.
    It usually absorbs quickly into the skin without the greasy-ness that other skin creams do.

    I do this at night before bed. Great stuff, readily available and affordable.

    I will have to look for the emu oil and give it a go.

    Do you have any retailers to list on line or otherwise?

    Thank you!

    Emu Oil sounds great I hope Iīll find a local shop where I can buy it.

    Corn huskers sounds great too, but I donīt live in the US so it will be hard for me to find it...How do you make your own?
