Hello gents,
I'd appreciate if people shared their experience with the range of products available particularly from any Boots store. Well, maybe except for Nivea products as everyone knows and had tried those, I think.
I have personally tried only two - the Boots Wormwood and the Bulldog ASBs. Former one is not very exciting, but does perform very well, especially for the price - although packaging is a nightmare, it's really hard to get it out of that glass bottle. Scent is not very nice - same line's AS is much better (if you like scents like wormwood, of course). It does sooth to a certain degree, and tones the skin. But it's quite thick, and isn't too good at absorbing into skin.
Latter (Bulldog) is currently my favourite one - it's all natural and packed with essential oils, and I just love the smell, which consists of the Rosehip, Pachouli, Bergamot and lots of other stuff. It moisturises reasonably, tones the skin, absorbs well and just leaves a generally good and pleasant feeling after use. However, it has virtually NONE of any soothing effect, hence if you had a rough shave - tough luck..
Now, what I'm interested in, is has anyone tried the following ASBs:
• Botanics Mens After Shave Balm (pricey, but with natural stuff, looks good from what's on a label)
• Hackett Post Shave Balm (tried a dollop of this on my chin in the store, and it did feel somewhat cooling)
• Lab Series Razor Burn Relief (this one is insanely priced, better work miracles)
• No7 For Men Post Shave Recovery Balm (description doesn't say much, not cheap either)
• Simple For Men Soothing Aftershave (interesting, how simple it is?)
• Origins Fire Fighter (that one sounds very good, but a pricey bastard)
Will appreciate your feedback - if you'd tried any of those ASBs or some others (from Boots, that is).

As for a shine - yeah, definitely leaves a skin glowing, but not oily type of shine, rather a healthy radiant one.
