    Default Aqua Velva ice balm where to buy?

    So i have heard that they dont make it anymore, nor is it in any stores near my house, and they have it at overstock.com but its like in a pack of 5 and all i want is 1 considering ive never used it before, but thought it would be nice to pair it with my aftershave. If anyone can tell me wear to buy it, or wear they sell it, would be greatly appreciated

    I use it and love it. It's very close to the AV A/S with a light cold refreshing feeling. I also bought several bottles at the time. I'll buy them again if/when they're gone if I can still find some.

    Hey Max, in terms of sealing up and repairing the skin how does it rate?

    As with all products it will depend the user's skin etc...

    On my skin it seals extremely well. It could maybe moisturize a tidbit more. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling on my face at all. I usually always end with some AV a/s after the balm dried up as I find the scent very refreshing. Hence it moisturizes enough for me.

    If this is the same as Aqua Velva, I get mine at WalMart for about 5 bucks a bottle. I grew up with my dad using it and again in the Marine Corps (we used it for zits and cleaning the head too...but that's a different thread). I also cut hair and use it as an aftershave with great results.

    Hope this helps,
