AOS A/S Gel

[BigRich]

Has anyone tried The Art of Shaving's "aftershave gel" yet? If so, what are your thoughts. Their balms have always been too heavy for me but I like their sandalwood so I thought about giving the gel a try.

I used it some time back. I liked it best during the summer as it absorbed quickly and didn't leave my face feeling sticky. The scent was nice - not overwhelming. It did a good job of soothing and moisturizing IIRC.

I've been curious about this AS. It seems expensive though. How long does the bottle last?

 

[renoles]

Lasted a long while - several months. You don't use much after each shave.

Thanks renoles!

I hate the gel but love the balm, so the opposite will probably be true for you.

Why do you love the balm and hate the gel?

I guess "hate" is the wrong word, but as the op said, the balm's nice and thick, while the gel's thinner and just doesn't work as well for me. The gel's cheaper and doesn't have as many of the fancy plant extracts (that probably don't do anything anyway) in it either.
