Cool, thanksI'd go with one or the other type - aftershave splash OR aftershave balm.
Since you're applying skin conditioners anyway after the balm, I'd say forego the balm and use the splash. Once dried, then apply your creams. I think my only concern might be that perfume oils get trapped by the emollients. The point of an aftershave splash is to give a heavily alcoholic cleansing and drying after shaving - this is contrary to your needs, evident by you applying creams. So, long way round of saying ... probably don't bother, given your regimen.
Finding an EDT or aftershave lotion that actually has staying power is something of an issue for me. There are many that I really like, but they require constant "topping up" throughout the day. Even fragrances like the mighty Aramis and Fahrenheit don't have quite the same longevity on my skin as they once did. I blame it on re-formulation.Well today I splashed with Gothic Revival splash and then some matching balm. Astringent/cleanser and then nourishing balm. I love the smell, and did not apply scent over the top of those! That's generally how I would do it. Or forget the splash, I use bio oil for the skin treatment and spray EdT or whatever on top. The oil catches the scent and it lasts longer IMO .
That's very true, Paul. It's all about personal preference, at the end of the day. As long as you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks.Do whatever suits you, it's your face and we are all different.
Don't worry, be happy!
Paul.

Please excuse my obvious ignorance, but what are "TF&H" and "TOBS"? I am not familiar with these. Are they some kind of brand name? If what you say is true and they last for a long time, I would like to find out more about them.I've always found that TF&H and TOBS aftershaves and particularly Colognes last very well.
Truefitt & Hill and Taylor of Old Bond Street.Please excuse my obvious ignorance, but what are "TF&H" and "TOBS"? I am not familiar with these. Are they some kind of brand name? If what you say is true and they last for a long time, I would like to find out more about them.
Okay, thank you for telling me. I'm just not very good with some acronyms. The irony of it is, though, that I had a Taylor Of Old Bond Street aftershave lotion, which I have now used up. It smelt lovely, but I found that it didn't last any longer on me than any other aftershave I have used. Maybe I just have the kind of skin that some aftershaves don't "like".
