I use Swiss Army ASB. Was a gift, and it works well. Doesn't moisturize as much as soothe.
If I need moisturizing, I use a good moisturizing or replenishing lotion or cream. Currently St. Ives, but any good one will work. And the bottle is huge for the same or less than the price of any of the lotions labeled "after shave balm". YMMV.
I don't use a balm or lotion every time I shave. If I feel any irritation, or if I need moisturizing(oily skin, so not too often), or with the Swiss Army balm, sometimes I just want the fragrance, which I'll follow with Swiss Army EDT.
I mostly just use an alcohol based AS post shave, which is what I've done for the most part for 37 years. Until I found these forums I didn't even know what an ASB was.

Myrsol Emulsion and Phyto balm for me.
I just finished using a new (to me) balm ... WSO (Wet Shave Obsession). I really like the scent and it is very good at soothing and healing the skin. Not greasy. Little pearl goes a long ways.

Winter or Summer my 2 favs are 1.] Aramis moisturizing Balm and 2.] St Charles Sandalwood Balm. St Charles line has many different varieties of Balms and I find their Aspect Milk very nice as well.[/B]

Nivea sensitive, T&H Limes for the warm weather.
Nivea sensitive is great, but I also like Avon, AOS sandalwood, Edwin Jagger, Nuxe Men, and Gillette.
Used the AOS lemon gel today. Awesome! Great lemon scent and really moisturizing and soothing!
I do love my Maca Root that's been long in use, but recently I've been dig'n the Dove. Great stuff!
Nivea ASB is my one and only, everyday balm.
I just got a brand new bottle of Castle Forbes 1445 and this easily tops my balm list. I'm really partial to splashes but this stuff is nice.
Nivea replenish, Every man Jack, trumpers skin food.
I use Synergy Coconut Bay lotion a couple times a week if I need some added moisture. Great stuff that I haven't seen mentioned, just ordered the same in Vetiver today.... we'll see.
+1 for Razorock Evil Eye Lime wax.
