Fido said:So does all this mean that there are two real needs to be addressed and perhaps one want?
The two essentials being (1) the need for antiseptic healing and soreness relief and (2) the restoration of things lost during shaving?

Could you use it instead of a moisturiser or balm?
And what about witch hazel? What does that actually do? Would these two products work well together?
It would be a damn sight cheaper than the mass market balms that boast that they contain aloe!
Frederick said:I mostly use Harris Milk as do-it-all product. It soothes, moisturises and smells good. I apply it on my wet cheeks. One squirt from the pump dispenser is enough: the water on my cheeks will dillute the milk enough as to avoid any feeling of greasiness. This will make a 100ml bottle last a very long time, and what's 20-30 pounds/euros for a whole year of luxury?
When I want a more luxurious AS experience, I'll use Harris pink before the milk. On hot & humid days, Pink will actually do without an extra moisturiser.

Absolutely. First splash. balm is to replenish moisture which the alcoholic splash has taken away.
Boab said:I really fancy trying out this Harris milk, I got some of the boots freshwood as I heard it was a cheap alternative but it made my skin break out so I put it up as a prize in the raffle a couple of weeks back.I am still tempted to buy the Harris all the same.Just worried about a reaction to one of the ingredients.I love the look of the bottle too.
