Great after a close shave!

pros:
A really close shave can sometimes cause irritation but the post-soother really helps and it has been an excellent purchase

Holy Grail of Post-shave Balms
09-MAY-11
pros:
As my bathroom cabinet can attest, I have tried literally dozens of post-shave balms over the years. Whilst many do a great job of soothing and/or moisturising, this is the only product that does not clog my pores and result in spots. In fact, since I began using it, my skin has seldom looked better: It is now completely clear, even-toned, and smooth.The balm itself is of a fairly runny consistency and its odour, whilst not being exactly pleasant, is perfectly tolerable and not overpowering. Having shaved (I use an old-style straight razor) and rinsed off the remaining shaving soap, I apply this product whilst my face is still slightly damp. This ensures an even coverage and maximum hydration.Despite the salicylic acid, the product does not tingle on application nor cause excessive dryness. It is absorbed quickly and leaves no sticky residue.For me, it has worked wonders.I hope to always have a bottle to hand.
