The D R Harris's Aftershaving Milk that I used to use is no longer made. They totally altered the formula a while back, and the supplies of the old stuff are now gone pretty much everywhere. Their Pink Aftershave, is, however, most definately still being produced, and can be gotten from online sour...

Tony, Some people can't help it that they're.....a....olfactory challenged ( and then, of course, there are those who are just too lazy to learn ). Actually, I didn't think that Afta smelled that bad....for what it is, and what it costs. But it also never worked that well. To the surprise of no one...

I haven't tried Lumene A/S Balm yet but I have tried some of the others listed here. I have found Anherb Natural A/S Conditioner to be my favorite. It is light...not sticky...absorbs well into the skin...slightly cools...and has antiseptic properties for redness, razor burn, and even small nicks or ...

I love the Anthonly Logistics for Men Shave Balm - it's got a great great scent and is not at all greasy. I love Mentolo too! Find it okay for moisturizing. For the best results take a little bit of Osage Rub and mix it in your hand with an unscented balm that you like and you've got what you're lo...

Hi notthesharpest,

I'll try some...thanks!

I'm looking for ' The Best ' or ' Most Powerful ' menthol A/S Balms only out there that can be purchased in the U.S. at stores or on line. It needs to be light ...not something that forms a sticky residue on your face after you put it on... when you squeeze it into your hand it should be light and o...

Rating 1 -- 3: Many people would say the Progress doesn't even belong in the top 3, but that's OK. I would say, considering what you already wrote, the best choices are 1. Merkur HD 2. Gillette Superspeed (from the 40's or the 50's) 3. Merkur Progress Numbers 1 and 2 are really a tie. But in the en...

Gents, I'm going off-topic here, because I've been thinking a lot today about the original post regarding numbing shave creams. Leaving aside my earlier joke about the Aramis scent being so strong that it needs to be used with a numbing agent, I'm now curious. Rgarr, you've probably noticed, most o...

I am still a newbie and I started with an old Gillette Superspeed. It was cheap and easy to find on a certain auction site. I would recommend the older Gillettes to start of with. A few bucks can get you a razor or two and then you can spend most of your money towards a blade sampler pack and some ...

Also, which blades would be best for me e.g. Merkur...Featherlite etc. And approximately how many shaves can I expect out of one blade? Unfortunately the best blades are something that can only truly be done through trial and error. However since you have sensitive skin I would highly suggest you s...

I'm a newbie to these forums and I'm ready to buy my first DE razor and I've heard and seen through this video http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mantic59 that it is a pretty good razor and it is in my price range. I would appreciate any and all recommendations that you might give me concerning thi...

Benzocaine is necessary to protect the skin from the cream's Essence of Aramis. --Glenn (Said with love, by an Aramis AS and cologne user.) Hey Glenn, Thanks for your post and all the others...it gives me a better understanding of Aramis's philosophy. I like the shave creme but I'm not advocating i...

I like this shave creme because it has the Benzocaine in it and it ever so lightly numbs your skin and is excellent as far as razor burn and irritation. I was wondering if anybody knows of any other shaving cremes, splashes or balms out there with Benzocaine properties in them. Thanks...and happy ho...

I highly recommend the Tryphon Mentolo aftershave balm. It is not greasy, absorbs quickly, and offers a fine menthol blast. http://www.razorandbrush.com/barberiaaftsha.html I have ordered this last week because so many people have recommended it pretty much above everything else...especially you pr...

Bath and Body Works carries an aftershave balm by C.O. Bigelow that has a pretty strong eucalyptus smell. Not sure how sticky or good it really is but it sure smelled powerful when I took a whiff at the store last night. I will see if I can get a sample of this and try it. I have a Bath & Body ...

What is the best A/S menthol Balm out there for moisturizing that is the lightest non sticky non greasy formula on the market that can be purchased in the US. Most, if not all, menthol A/S Balms or just regular ones are heavy and leave a sticky residue on my face. Also, some moisturizers don't due a...

Thanks To Everyone who answered my thread. You all have given me several menthol A/S and Balms to try out. I'll keep you posted on which ones I like the best. Happy holidays!
