New After shave Balm needed

[Meirion658]

Afternoon all,

Been looking at getting a new ASB. In the past I have been using the Nivea Sensitive skin and Proraso white both of which I like, Proraso more than the Nivea.

I am after something new for change but must be Alcohol free and for sensitive skin(don't do burn)

Unrefined shea butter whipped up with a bit of argan oil. Decant into small tubs and keep somewhere cool, dark, and away from the wife until needed.

L'Occitane Cade. Lovely stuff.

Bulldog

Dove men+ care post shave balm Hydrate + is excellent they also do a sensitive one just as good as the nivea one

M&S woodspice moisturizing aftershave smells good and feels great.

it's not cheap but it lasts forever and the face feel is AMAZING! i think they do a 3 for 2 offer. it should be good for your sensitive skin - 99% aloe vera

Bulldog or Myrsol Emulsion if you want an over the counter of predictable quality rather than giving a make it yourself blend a try.

eShave Aftershave soother is expensive but very good in terms of skincare and long lasting.

As already been mentioned. Dove sensitive aftershave balm and Myrsol Emulsion are both excellent.

+1 for Myrsol Emulsion use it just about every shave, that or some Thayers witch hazel with Lemon.

Have been looking at the Myrsol Emulsion. How does that compare to the nivea which is 1/3 of the price!!!

Out of the 10 or so balms in my bathroom cabinet, it's Aloe Vera Gel I reach for most of the time. Fantastic stuff. I get mine from Holland & Barrett.

Other ones I rate highly are Clinique Post-Shave Soother and Myrsol Emulsion.

Hard to come by, but my favourite is Art Of Shaving sandalwood. Nicely moisturising - not greasy, no sting and a warm but light fragrance. I know there will be others you try first, but give this a go if you get the chance

Hi M, for me, with excessively oily skin, the Nivea is just like adding grease to an oil slick. It's way too rich for me, though remember I have had years of skin probs and probably the Nivea is fine for most 'non prob' skins. The Myrsol is light, quickly absorbed and leaves my skin feeling plumply refreshed.

I agree with JohnnyO, it's starts of like a fine cream but then you can almost feel it being absorbed into your skin then not greasy at all.
