I just got some of this the other day, outdoor scented of course. I used it after a shave and it feels amazing. It left my skin bbs and moisturized. I never get razor burn so I didn't really conciously think of its soothing power, but I do have an occasional break out and this just allows the skin to breath and feel refreshed. In fact since using this I have no had a break out, the whole idea of asb is to help heal ailments and this sure does it. "Em" is a great woman and she really knows what she's doing, plus she is the kindest soul on this Earth.
