After Shave Balm

I shave traditionally with badger brush and double edged safety razor. I only tend to shave a couple of times per week and for a few years now have revealed red, blotchy patches under my stubble after which the skin crusts and is quite noticeable on the face. Since switching to this cream all the red, blotchy, skin irritation issues have gone and it has made a noticeable and very welcome difference. The scent is also lovely, though you only really pick this up when you first apply it - after that it's difficult to smell anything so it certainly doesn't get in the way of any other scent you may choose to apply. This will be a regular purchase for me, though the tube will last me at least six months.

I am black and have sensitive and dry skin and decided to give this a go. Having used liquid based aftershaves, it was very weird using this initially as it has a texture consistency that is a mix between clay and lotion. What worked for me was using the equivalent of 2 pea sizes lathered into my hands and massaging it all over the areas I have shaved. Due to the white colour of this balm it’s quite evident there is a clear “whitening” on my face from where I used this, but after about and hour its absorbed by the skin and is less evident. As I have dry skin, this amount I use helps with treating my skin postshave and keeps it well moisturised. Smell is pleasant and lasts really long (may be due to the amount I use). Overall, it helps minimise post shave skin issue, and works well for my sensitive. Only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is more because I need a significant amount of time for the white to not show on my black skin so I try to use it overnight or hours before leaving the house. I understand the argument of trying to use less to help with the white colouring issue but if I do so, I don’t use enough to protect and treat my skin post shave and there is an obvious irregular dry and bumpy feel. Great product and just be mindful of you have dark skin

Rich and soothing, excellent post shave cream. Easy to apply. Feels great on the skin.

Great balm, prevents burns on the skins and isn't overly greasy (as long as you only put a little bit). However, and I never thought I'd say this, the cap is one of the most annoying designs I've ever come across. I didn't think it was an issue, but trying to open and close it is a nightmare when you've just put cream on your hands. I won't be buying this balm again for that reason alone (which is a shame, because if it had a more user friendly cap I probably would buy it again)

Excellent value for a quality product

Arrived quickly, looked quality, taken away at airport by over zealous security! Will purchase again as have heard that Hawkins and Brimble have quality products.

Soothing and smells delightful

Not a bad price for a great product, I'm new to this range of toiletries , I have now extended my range of their products. Good smell, nice size tube so easy to apply and smooths the skin well after a wet shave

Huele bien y no pica. Repetiré.

Nach dem Nassrasieren fühlt sich die Haut gut an.

Awesome, great fragrance, great skin conditioner and a great price

Although it took almost a month for the item to arrive, it was worth the wait. I really like the aftershave balm- it's texture, scent and feel. It keeps my skin moist but not oily. I definitely recommend the product.

J'aime ce soin après rasage , il est très efficace pour soulager l'irritation après le rasage , et en plus de ça ,il sent très bon . Parfum très léger , qui cependant ne dure pas . Excellent
