Choosing after shaves
Start with your skin type. If skin feels tight or dry after shaving, look for a moisturizing balm or lotion. If it tends to feel oily, a lighter gel or splash may be more comfortable. Check the ingredient list if you are sensitive to fragrance.
Consider form and size too. Splashes come in bottles, balms in tubes or jars, and gels in pumps. Choose a size you can finish in a reasonable time, and a scent level you enjoy. Pairing it with a beard and mustache care product works well if both suit your skin.
How to use an after shave
Rinse with cool water after shaving and pat your face dry. Warm a small amount in your palm and press it gently onto the skin. Avoid cuts, and patch test new products first.
Pair it with your razors and blades for a simple routine, and keep the cap closed and away from heat.
Questions about after shaves
Do I need one after every shave?
Not necessarily. Use it when your skin feels comfortable with it, and stop if it stings or irritates.
Splash or balm?
A splash is thinner and feels cooling. A balm is thicker and feels more moisturizing. Choose based on how your skin feels after shaving.
