ASB Suggestions?

[SRA7594]

I am currently running out of my ASB, Neutrogena Razor Defense.

Its awesome, love the consistency (not to running not to pasty), and the fact i can use it all over my face, not just the beard area. Plus its not an over powering scent, with contacts a strong scent makes my eyes irritated. and its priced right.

I was going to ask the forum for suggestions. Looking for something that can step in and try.

I do have some zirh soothe, but its runny and slimey.

I've heard great things about the Nivea ASB... they have an unscented version I believe.

If you don't mind a more classic smell, get the Aqua Velva classic Ice Blue balm. It's really moisturizing too.

Not a huge balm guy, but I own and enjoy a C.O. Bigelow aftershave balm.
It is refreshing, doesn't leave my skin oily, and I enjoy the scent (Elixir Blue for me please).

Saint Charles Shave makes excellent milks and balms. I prefer the milks myself because they are little ligther than balms.

Proraso makes a great balm if you want something commercial.

Proraso balm sprang immediately to mind. Great stuff!

The C.O. Bigelow uncented ASB is excelent. A little thicker than the scented versions. Moisturizes very well and seems to also handle razor burn very well.

+1. SCS A/S milk is great, and you can get it in various scents, or unscented.

I like Nivea Extreme Comfort ASB.

Their one (think it's the Soothing Balm) in the white bottle is too milky for me and for some reason it irritates my skin.

+X to Nivea - all great products but I'm partial to their "Cooling" version. Good luck!

Exactly! Thought of it right away.

Just another question, I looked at neutrogena razor defense and it says its oil free.
i like the idea of that, but also like something that is cooling with a light/no scent. I think a slight sandlewood scent would be very nice. i like to wear hugo boss colognes during the day.

prosaro maybe the one i go with though.

I agree with those touting the Nivea. I use the entire line and have great results. I would suggest trying all of them; I think you will be pleased.

+ on the collection of Nivea ASB's, good quality and readily available. I would also add Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave.

My vote goes to QED.

Pre De Provence Balm is a dream. Pair it with the soap too & you have a match made in heaven

I don't use balms that much, but I like Woody's.
I did a review on that one.

Another vote for Saint Charles Shave.

Looks like some great suggestions have been made.
I have used Nivea, which is a great ASB.
I personally prefer the Tabac ASB or C&E Sandalwood. You will probably not like C&E so much as that one is quite runny, Tabac is a bit thicker.

+1 for the Nivea ones. Although I've been using a *cough* fusion one for a bit, just trying to use it up, now that I know about better products

All the Nivea ones are excellent, good looking bottles, well priced, and a good selection from unscented sensitive to a wonderful cool kick one.

I received Mama Bears peppermint summer milk AS a couple of weeks ago, and have used it about 4 times. It has some kick to it! At first I thought the smell would be annoying to others, but my wife says it fades pretty quick. I bought it because Nivea was making my face greasy by the end of a summer day. I'm pretty happy with the peppermint milk so far.
