Aloh Vera ?

Guys, I really like the Proraso pre-post shave cream but hate the smell. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a really good post shave balm, after shave lotion out there made with mostly aloh vera? I have been using ZIRH shave cream with aloh vera and it feels awesome!! I'd love to have an after shave that would give me the same cool feeling after the shave is over and lasts most of the day.

Have you thought of using just aloe vera? It's usually found in the sun block/tan lotion area of Wal-Marts, drugstores, etc.

I found some Grabtree & Evelyn blam called Nomad that looks pretty nice but the price isnt.

Ohhh true but ohhh so nice to use. I had my wife get it for me as a gift. In addition you can get some as a sample from the C&E store. They also have Sienna, sandalwood The sweet almond shaving cream also rocks.

You can also try the Proraso Liquid Aftershave Balm (its called something like that- comes in a flat glass bottle). I don't know the ingredients, but it has a nice clean kind of soapy smell. Very soothing, light and non-greasy. And its cheap. Its one of my go-to products.

What about some of the Thayer's Witch Hazel products --I think they contain aloe vera.
I use the Thayer's SuperHazel --about $8 ---it contains a lot of goodies (a little grain alcohol thought) and also aloe vera. It has a nice cooling affect ----but the smell is a kind of plain --anyway,

The T&H aftershave balms contain aloe vera as well, I believe. But they're fairly pricey.

I guess I'm the only guy to use Purell Hand Sanitizer w/ Aloe as an aftershave...

I just use some Tea Tree oil, mixed with some grapeseed oil, it works wonders at soothing the skin. You can make your own for next to nothing.

RichZ, are you referring to the recent research linking lavender/tea-tree oil usage to breast enlargement in males? I thought it was a joke when I read the news report. However, to be safe I'm already making my wife use her creams and oils in the other bathroom - wouldn't want second-hand contamination and develop moobs...:eek:

Well it might do, but it will give me something to do on those long winter nights :)
