I'm glad to hear it's OK now. I've always had sensitive skin and any fragranced face product (balm, moisturising cream, shave cream etc) always gave me grief with itchiness, redness, and irritation. Never had the peeling as you describe - it is good advice to go check it out with a doctor if possible.
I've found fragrance-free face products work well for me (some of the "sensitive skin" stuff hasn't worked). However, recently I've been using the Crabtree and Evelynn Sandalwood aromatic aftershave balm with no ill-effects. The initial outlay is steep, I know, but I've seriously only needed a drop about the size of a pea in my palm to cover the shaved area.
Anyway, I hope you find something that works for you.
James.
