Almond Creams

[hypo_style]

Can anyone recommend any almond-scented shaving creams/soaps/after-shave balms that are also somewhat hypo-allergenic, or made from natural ingredients?

I tried for a while to use the Almond-scented cream available from Caswell & Massey a few years back. While I really enjoyed the scent, I found that their product line (especially the pre-shave oil) caused me a deep-red inflammation of the face. Kinda like this:

Can anyone guide me to any other available products I might try that can match the pleasure of their scent without the pain?

Maybe you can try to buy some Almond oil from the local drugstore and apply before shaving to softening the beard and reduce the friction? I've heard that some pepole mix 50/50 Almond/Avocado oil, never tried it myself but that might work better? I'm using Almond only, and that work to me.

I've also try mix some oil in the lather, and it did reduce the friction really good. Almond oil is cheap, so you can experiment a lot with it.
