Just to throw my opinion out there while you’re asking I picked up the Baxter’s balm too..it’s okie but not the most moisturising I find less is more and use a very small amount as not to get that tacky feeling you describe..I do this with balms in general as I don’t like my face to feel overloaded with any kind of product
As others have said, less is more with this balm. First couple of applications felt like I'd put a mask on my face! But just a dab and properly massaging it in has worked much better.

Very nice lather from the cream. Lightly scented & cooling but very creamy and very slick...
Shave with razor paired with the blade at setting 9 for 3passes was very enjoyably smooth and comfortable. Managed a mostly bbs finish without any issues. Good aftershaves as usual.
