    My Top 3

    AfterShaveSplash (lotion)

    1. Proraso Cutting Edge RazorBurn Repair. Nice creamy lotion, discrete lemon scent, nice plastic bottle design, great healing properties on my skin - just a great product.

    2. Speick AfterShaveLotion
    Use this after every shave as the first step because it has Alum, Witch Hazel and AloeVera. Smell is discrete and just so so, but this stuff is like magic for my skin after a roughbshave followed by a non alcoholic balm of course. I use EDT from my cabinet as scent provider - my scent of the day will NEVER come from my AS anyway

    3. Proraso AfterShaveSplash
    Love the smell if eucalyptus and menthol. Has Witch Hazel and very nice cooling in this splash

    AfterShaveBalm

    1. Mühle AfterShave Balm/Lotion
    My all time favourite.
    Have all 3 scents of this stuff on order, owns the AloeVera with a fresh discrete CoolWater type of mint scent to it.
    More of a hybrid between a lotion and a balm really. Just the best AfterShave product I've ever owned.
    Perfect Product. Love the glas bottle, love the lotion, love the scent, love the ingredients and love the dosis you get from the pump. Just right.

    2. Castle Forbes Lavender AfterShave Balm. Just a classy product in a classy 8 edged bottle.
    Very nice and soothing liquid. Top notch scent and top notch quality product overall.

    3. Proraso Cutting Edge Protectice AfterShave Cream. Extremely soft cream that soothes your skin and has a nice discrete lemon scent. A great cream that heals your battle wounds after the shave combat :)

    Worthy of mentioning:

    Proraso AfterShave Liquid Balm - also a top notch AS balm !!

    Arran Bay Citrus PostShave Balm - the first product I found that smells like my old time favourite - Davidoff Original, and the balm is great and price is fair.

    Let's hear it from you guys and gals :)

    I'll use an alum splash. Basically took a cheap alum block, smashed it and put it into an oil/vinegar bottle filled with water (I've had a couple alum blocks slip from my fingers into the toilet , hence the invention of the splash). Also have Honeybee gardens BayRum and the Aqua velva musk.
    Basically for lotions or balms it's Nivea replenishing or a local aftershave lotion from Escential lotions and oils here in PDX that has just a hint of menthol.

    After shave splash
    1) ogallala bay rum sandlewood
    2) Osage rub
    3) Vintage English Leather Lotion (Looks like AS, smells like AS, but it leaves your face feeling oh so soft. I recommend if you ever come across a bottle of it, purchase it. Good stuff)

    A.S.B.
    1) Tet-a Tet , creamy cool and refreshing, it is worth the effort to get
    2) Avon AS conditioner, it's the best kept secret IMHO in wet shaving
    3) Haslinger AS Lotion

    No balms, but here are my top 4:

    1) TSD AS Splash (many scents, but my favorite is Iced Peppermint)
    2) Provence Sante Verlain AS splash
    3) TSD AS Milk (ranks a little lower as I need to dilute it with my oily skin, so slightly less convenient).
    4) CK Eternity
     
  10. battle.munky

    battle.munky Has the menthol.munky on his back!

    I only have two balms and resist using them unless I have a truly heinous shave; I don't think they really aid anything, I just like the idea that it does. They are:
    • Barbasol Pacific Rush
    • Nivea Unscented Sensitive

    As far as splashes go:
    1. AV Ice Blue
    2. AV Musk
    3. Skin Bracer green (knock offs included)
    I add menthol to all of it too, even mentholated stuff except Osage Rub.

    Wow, do I need to eat my words on this one! It turns out that my face was very oily because it was overproducing oil to make up for how dry it was. I've now added a quality moisturizing balm to my post-shave and the change has been dramatic. A well hydrated face also leads to an easier shave with better and longer lasting results.

    Here is my new updated list...

    Splashes
    1. Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue
    2. Osage Rub
    3. Captain's Choice Bay Rum

    Balms
    1. Kiehl's Ultimate After-Shave Balm & Moisturizer
    2. California Baby Super Sensitive Everyday Lotion
