Impressive list, huh?
Actually, by looking up the ingredients I appreciate this balm even more now.

Price: I got it from a Dutch online shop for ca €12. For a tube of 150ml it's not very expensive and falls in the range of the omnipresent Nivea balms. Since it is a US company, people oversees (from my point of view) will get it probably even cheaper.

Quality: A product with a very good price/quality ratio and I would rate it higher than the common Nivea balms.

Fights Razor Burn: If I use a balm, then I punnish myself first with an alum block. So I'm not sure if the relief after a bad shave is coming from the alum block or this balm. But on the other hand, if I have a bad shave, I mostly unwittingly grab this balm, so perhaps it's the balm after all.

Cooling Sensation: Besides putting your nose in the wind after applying or setting the vent at max. speed, you won't feel a cooling sensation as with some other balms except for the natural drying of the balm.

Scent: Overall a nice scent. Somewhat fresh spicy lemon/citrusy which lingers an hour or so and then fades quickly. It's a not-fighting-to-be-on-top-of-other-scents, so it's no problem to apply it with your regular cologne or Eau de Toilette.

Efficacy: It does what you can expect from a good product.

Moisturizing: It's not greasy and actually quite liquid and therefore it's absorbed rather quickly and leaves no grease behind and the skin feels just right afterwards.
I apply it all over my face (also around the eyes) as is stated on the tube that you can.

No Alcohol Burn: It doesn't sting so for the sting lovers, you will have to use the alum block first or use some salt.

Apparantly, if you go to their site, they will send some samples on request. I'm looking forward to get some.

I love this after shave. It smells great, kindda citrusy maybe pineapple, hard to pinpoint, but it doesn't linger for long.
Is very moisturizing without being heavy. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling great. For those looking for a cooling sensation or alcohol burn you'll be disappointed. I doesn't have either. But this stuff is full of good ingredients which your skin will appreciate.

Woody's Post Shave Rescue is definitely my favorite A/S balm!!!!
I am far from an expert, but this was recommended to me by my barber, and am I glad I listened!
I am not big into alcohol burn (love smell of boosters, but OUCH), so this balm is just... cooling, no burning!
The scent is awesome, like a super LIGHT citrusy smell!
Nivea sensitive balm doesn't hold a candle to how this moisturizes and I honestly prefer this over Trumper's skins food for adding that skin supple-ness without making it heavy and tacky feeling!
A little bit goes a long way in this, and after a few uses, my skin actually CRAVES this after a shave!
--Also feels good under the eyes to get rid of those late-night party "baggage"!
