I actually use the Barbershop splash right after alum, followed by a dab of Barbershop balm. They both are the best post shave products I have used.......and the price can't be beat....
I have 2 2 oz. bottles of the balm coming. I also picked up some AS while I was there. I didn't want to hurt Rod's feelings you know.
I just used the Bay Rum splash today, and it is another home run for Stirling! The scent is strong and lasts long. It's spicy with a hint of orange peel. I found the face feel to be very similar to Captain's Choice Cat o' Nine Tails. It gave me the same 15 second warm burning sensation- followed by a nice soothe!
