Thread: Aftershave treatment

Hello Ladies!

I´m into traditional wetshaving since nearly a year now. I´m useing different straight razors and DE´s and I do really enjoy my shaves. The only problem I have is the dry skin around the shin area. Usually I don´t have any problems with dry skin, this is the only part of my body which is really prone to drying out. It doesn´t 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 can´t 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 can´t stand the smell any more, so I´m looking for a second product which works as good as the Vifrex.

So I need a product which has a nice scent or doesn´t smell at all, which absorbs very quickly, doesn´t 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 I´ll find a local shop where I can buy it.

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

You can find several different recipes online buy my husband just made his up with aloe which hazel (cold pressed) and some essential oils.
