I have pretty much landed on Permasharp as the most effective blade for my 38c, but its a little ‘nippy’ in places and so my current balms (Proraso and Nivea) aren’t as effective as I’d wish.

Any suggestions?

Bart’s Balms every time. My go to if I ever have a shave that’s a little too close and need some relief from any sting/burn and protection. Really soothing, great scents, and they do a new scentless balm too.

Geo F.T. skin food (balm) comes in a few flavours, very good.

Or for after a really close or rough Shave BBA post Shave Balm is hard to beat IMHO

Just had a look on their website, will definitely be placing an order for their set of 7 balms as they all sound great!

Lea 3 in 1 for sensitive skin.
Fantastic stuff. It's strong on the cooling so if you don't like menthol give it a pass.
The scent is clean and very mild and almost disappears as soon as its applied so it doesn't interfere with the scent of other aftershaves or EDT's.

I tried this ages ago and it stung like hell, even on a normal shave, went straight in the bin

Out of the balms the best I've come across for my skin is L'Occitane Cade. Not cheap but a tube usually lasts me in the region of one to two years.

To be honest though I tend to use more moisturisers than I do balms. Just suits my skin. Home Bargains were recently selling the Collegen line of moisturisers off for £1.99 so I took 12 of them. An absolute bargain and superb stuff

L'Oréal Birch Sap is nice and light, and non greasy

Boots No7 is good too
