What post shave balm do you use?

Another vote for Barts balms here. Excellent stuff. Nivea sensitive is always in my rotation too. Had a bottle of lucky tiger tonic but finished it and never replaced it.
 
I've got 1 and a bit bottles of Nivea Sensitive and a bottle of Proraso White. I didn't really need the Proraso but went to Carlo Anichini in London and felt like I should support them in some way.
Are you talking about the Proraso pre shave cream? What's the best way to use this as a balm- I.e. use it on a dry face and rub in or wet the face and just rub in until it is absorbed into skin? Thanks
 
I really don't rate it on a price vs. performance basis. It's far too mediocre to be at that price level.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm perfectly happy with Nivea on the days where I choose to use a balm (around 1 in 3, I'd guess). Tempted to crack it open and try it now.

It's not terrible, it has a pleasant smell, nice glass bottle, but my opinion is that it is no better than Nivea or any you can buy at a supermarket/chemist for £2-3.

I use BBA, which is expensive but excellent. I have Aloe Vera, which is cheap and not bad, and I have Wickham, which is nice enough. Some Barts balm on the way.

I was given Dinegro aftershave balm after I purchased Tabex aftershaves from Portugal, nice balm without greasy feel and moisturises the skin. Also the quality balms from Marks&Spencer(Harvard and Woodspice) with nice long lasting scents.
 
Not bad for just over £12.50 delivered (inc forum discount)

Ouch! On a no buy 2019 but that Barts Balm Gift Set sure is tempting

(I am a sucker for Gift Sets, beer, whiskey, chocolate, all likely to end in my bag typically when idling at an airport :) )
