    My husband is looking for an unscented ASB. (The Nivea works well, but the scent clashes with other products.) What are some unscented ASB's you like? And where can I get them? Thanks.

    L'Oreal Comfort Max ASB, for men. I like it. Pick it up at ShopRite.

    Nivea for Men, 2-in-1 works very well and the scent is nearly undetectable to me and vanishes quickly.

    I've never tried it, but I hear TSD Aftershave Milk is pretty good. And you can get it unscented.

    Oops...I mixed up my brand names. It is actually Neutrogena Sensitive Skin. In any case, the smell is annoying us.

    Best I've found; and it's not easy to find, is Nivea Protective Lotion. Not oily, no burn, no fragrance, no mess.

    Head to Walgreens or somewhere else where they have a good selection, open them up and smell. The Nivea Sensitive might be just what you're after.

    Thanks. I plan to do some sniffing and bring my reading glasses, to check the labels.

    I use TSD unscented shave milk regularly. It is very soothing.

    Thanks. I was hoping to hear from someone who had tried it.

    TSD shave milk is thin and milky. It is packaged in glass bottle with a small shaker hole, like traditional aftershave lotion. When I got some, my wife decided that she liked it as a facial moisturizer before bed every night. She now has her own bottle. It does have a very faint scent like roses when you first shake some from the bottle. I am guessing that it contains rose water. There is no scent once applied to my face.

    Witch Hazel, Shea Butter, Lecithin,
    Allantoin, Vitamin E,
    Glycerin, Aloe Vera,
    Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid
    A who's who of good stuff for your skin;)

    Well, I went to the Walgreen's. Every ASB had some kind of fragrance. So right now, hubby is trying a small bottle of plain, unscented skin lotion I got for him. If he doesn't get good results, I may just get him some TSD shave milk.

    Might try Lucky Tiger. Not a goo but weirdly effective.

    I haven't tried the TSD milk, but it does sound pretty good based on that ingredient list. Of balms that I've tried, Poraso balm actually has very little scent, and what it has fades quickly. Arko cream (it comes in a tube) is also soothing and genuinely unscented ( the strongest thing I can detect is the beeswax in it). They aren't official AS balms, but I have used Glycerin, Witch Hazel, and, even, Eucerin moisturizer as an AS.
