Well I've been using 2 AS for the 4 months I've been straight razor shaving. Lucky Tiger Face Tonic and T&H unscented aftershave balm. Usually do the Tiger first,let it dry and then apply balm. Will usually stick to just the tonic if i do a 1 pass shave, only using the balm if i do 2 or 3 pass. I don't like much scent in my AS, if there is any I like it to fade quickly. I like the viscosity (water like) and light citrus that fades after it dries from the lucky tiger, in addition to no alcohol. Anybody have any recommendations as to what would be good to try next? Lucky tiger was a cheapo i found on amazon, i liked the reviews so i got it. No problem spending more for something. Not to say i don't like lucky tiger, i really do. I've got about 10 soaps/creams though and only 2 AS. I want to expand my AS department hehe.
Something close to lucky tiger?

Stateside? Go to a Walmart, CVS or Walgreens and pick up a bottle of Skin Bracer- a Spicy scent with a hint of Menthol & Vanilla, Aqua Velva- the blue one has a Cool Water type scent & the Musk is a must try, Brut would be my third recommendation and it probably has the strongest scent. None will sting too badly & will have moisturizers, all are inexpensive and they can be used with your Balm as you do with the Lucky Tiger.
+1 I've tried everyone sept the skin bracer but I just may now.
Myrsol splashes are lightly scented and they fade fairly quick.
I like and use Lucky Tiger Face Tonic from time to time. In my experience it brings to the table a unique characteristic in that acts and feels like an alcohol-based product, although without the alcohol induced stinging or burning. I've never encountered another product like it. There are plenty of alcohol-free A/S products out there, and many are quite good, but almost all of them have a consistency ranging from moderately creamy to very thick. In fact, you use one of them, the T&H unscented balm. Good luck and let us know if you find anything like the Lucky Tiger.
