Thinking of getting a Crabtree & Evelyn A/S

[DaveNJ74]

Any thoughts of which one would be best for sensitive skin out of their 3 they have?

I've got reasonably sensitive skin and although I love the bottle of the Nomad aftershave balm that I've got (scent wise) it can be a little irritating. I don't really find it to be a very soothing product at all. For me it even has a bit of an alcohol type sting - not what I expected in a balm. I generally use it only on days that I achieve a very irritation free shave. Again, I think the scent is awesome and it has good longevity on me so I'm actually considering the cologne as a future purchase, but this will probably be the one and only bottle of the ASB that I ever buy.

If I were you, I'd try and talk the salesperson out of a sample and see how it works for you before buying a bottle. Or be prepared to offer it up on the BST forum.

Good advice. I know The Body Shop gives out samples of their stuff. So far the best aftershave I have tried for my skin is the Castle Forbes Lavender. My skin loves that stuff. Second is T&H Grafton.
I would love to ad a C&E to my routine.

If you have sensitive skin and want an awesome aftershave, skip C&E altogether and grab a bottle of Lucky Tiger.

it depends on how sensitive skin is (and what your skin is sensitive to). you might want to see about working out a trade or something before dropping $40 on a full bottle that you might react to.

that being said the sienna balm is very nice and smells awesome.

Thats true. I have smelled all of them at the store but they're very vague on what product is for what skin type.
