Gillette Sensitive Aftershave gel (blue bottle) works well for me and is inexpensive and easy to find. I use an alum block first though. A good facial moisturizer for men is a must.
Shave talc will kill the razorburn faster than any balm. Clubman makes a flesh colored one. A tiny amount, rub hands together and rub on your face. Try it. It’s magic.What aftershave cream/balm do you gents use/recommend for irritated skin/razor burn?
Suggestions welcome.
Thx.

Dry your face well first and use a small amount. It’s amazing how well it works. Shave talc used to be more common. As I got better with razors I haven’t used it, but when I started it really saved me. I don’t think I have used it for a few years, but I might tomorrow... I have a vintage bottle of old Spice talc I might break out.Gotta admit, that is UNIQUE, bro.
Although, if your face is DAMP from shaving, wouldn’t the talc just CAKE on?

I don’t think the whiskey woods is talcum, but it’ll still probably work. Let the aftershave dry completely and shake a small amount of powder on your palm. Rub hands together and rub on face. Rub it in till you can’t see it anywhere.Has anybody tried Clubman Whiskey Woods shave talc? How do you use it with aftershave?
Thank you very much.I don’t think the whiskey woods is talcum, but it’ll still probably work. Let the aftershave dry completely and shake a small amount of powder on your palm. Rub hands together and rub on face. Rub it in till you can’t see it anywhere.
Lucky Tiger is nice. Very soothing. I ordered a sample bottle of it last week along with some other things. I'll be ordering the bigger bottle soon.Lucky Tiger works well for me after a ‘difficult’ shave!
I totally forgot about that. For the win though. Good call.Shave talc will kill the razorburn faster than any balm. Clubman makes a flesh colored one. A tiny amount, rub hands together and rub on your face. Try it. It’s magic.
is a block of potassium aluminum sulfate (naturally occurring mineral) is used as an astringent and was used as deodorant/antiperspirant back in the days before modern deodorant, but is effective nonetheless as it is the basic ingredient that is used in modern ones, but, I will warn you, based on your comments I can see you have sensitive skin, so I wouldnt recomend it, if you think cool fix is harsh, an alum block is gonna have a good kick on your face, I used it before but it would dry my face so I went the witch hazel route, now I see that you are also a bit aprehensive towards alcohol, but in witch hazel is very minimum and I dont even feel it, so for you, I would definately recommend it, followed by a good nourishing balm, in wich case I am also another vote for nivea sensitive. My two cents.Thought I’d heard it all when it came to shaving, but this “alum block” thing is new to me.
