    I noticed after a 3 pass shave, my skin is very dry and feels tight and somewhat uncomfortable. I use Adidas A/S splash, but I need something in between the shave and the splash. Any suggestions for a decent fairly inexpensive balm to help replenish my skin?

    I like Afta or Nivea balms myself, as they're cheap and readily available.

    The only balms I have are Brut and L'Oreal Comfort Max. I can get both at ShopRite, and will do so when they are gone, if that tells you anything.

    Arko Aqua works great for me.

    I will second jody's recomendation, the proraso ASB works great for me. I love the smell ans so does my wife. Its very mosturizing.
    When I travel for work I usually go with Nivea Sensitive. I don't really care if I smell great working around a bunch of strangers. The nivea works great, but the smell is so-so, but not real strong. The nivea also works great.
    I just got a sample of the arko cool, and that has been working great, but it has a very strong smell that I can't quite place. This also seems to work very well but I have only used it three or four times.

    My wife and I didn't care for the scent. But that's us.

    Different part of the body, but my legs do get dry.

    I like using the following:
    -Tet-A-Tet ASB
    -The Real Shaving Company (TRSC) Moisturizing ASB
    -Pre de Provence ASB with Shea Butter
    -Anherb AS Gel


    Any TSD After Shave Milks .... but that is a whole other thread. ;)
