Hi there

Been wet shaving for the last few weeks using proraso white finish with alum block then moisturise with le labo or a general moisturiser

Last few days my face is incredibly dry and getting flaky

Any suggestions please
 
Thanks for everyone's help I bought the Nivea hemp ultra calming balm I will try that for the rest of the week

Will invest in a proraso white balm too
 
Can’t help you on the blue vs white choice but I’d think the Nivea you bought will be pretty good. Bart’s Balm is a favourite of many. Google it.
 
@ramonesman , I'm curious - once you'd used the alum were you rinsing your face to remove any residue that might cause extra drying?
I've experienced alum to have a drying effect, but assumed it would be minimised by rinsing. If anyone knows better, let me know.
 
I never used to rinse afterwards but the good people of this parish educated me accordingly and it makes a big difference. These days, I just keep the alum in the unlikely but possible event of a wee nick or stubborn weeper. Thanks @havings.
 
Thanks for all your help

I feel I was a bit too exhuberant with the alum block I shall use purely for the odd Nick
I was leaving on for about a minute then rinsing patting dry then moisturise
