    I'm just curious how feasible it would be to dump some Clubman into an lightly/unscented balm? Would it still work as a balm or would it just be a slightly thicker splash? Would the scent stay in the balm? I love my Clubman but sometimes I really want/need a balm, like after an especially rough shave or often in the winter time. I was thinking of some Nivea sensitive or maybe another unscented like TSD sensitive. If anyone has any feedback or prior experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.

    I do this with my polar ice, proasso green , most after shaves with scent and balms some scented some not all the time.
    helps to mix in a seperates container a little at a time so you dont completly loose the consistancy of any said balm.
    I also have an old prorasso bollte i have turned into a frankenbalm bottle that gets the last little bits of the ones that I really like.
    And some extra prorasso pre/post cream to thicken it back up lol

    I have done this with balms that are about 50% empty. I add a favorite barber style AS, and the varying mix works well for me. I have done this with balms from Polo, Nivea, and Afta. I have found this diluted mix is actually my favorite way to use a balm.

    I like to splash on the clubman then clean up the sink and put everything away and then I put on a balm. Have never tried mixing them but might have to try that sometime in the near future.
