    Default What should I try?

    I have been using a little 1 oz. Castle Forbes after balm. Love it but don't know if I want a large bottle of it.

    Anybody know of some good sample packs of after shave I could try?

    I like Nivea ES AS balm. Neutral scent, and it's easy to find in "normal" stores. Works great too.

    Proraso AS balm is also good, but smells a bit like baby powder (I don't mind; my gf said it wasn't manly enough). It also works well.

    I also like Burts Bees aftershave. It can also be found in 'normal' stores.

    Order the skin food sample pack from Trumpers.

    I got that, and now I use Sandalwood skin food as an AS balm and it works really well!

    I use the CO Bigelow AS balm from bath and body works. It has vitamin e and aloe vera in it which really help prevent and treat razor burn, ingrown hairs, breakouts etc. It's good stuff and it works well.

    I think I'll try the Trumpers in the future.

    The Aloe version of Edwin Jagger is very good. They do sample size pots. I want Trumpers skin food, but not tried it yet. It is meant to be very good though.

    CF is a Great one so I say go for it. They have sample sizes if you want to try different ones. If you want something a little lighter D.R. Harris Milk is awesome. Or if you want a little Zing try Baxters
