Baxter AS Balm

[Scotto]

Well, I got my sampler pack from Baxter a few days ago, and I am pretty impressed. The after shave balm is an interesting beast - I used it the first time without reading the ingredients, and WOW did I get a surprise. This stuff has menthol, and is extremely cooling.

Anyway, it is a gel consistency with a light citrusy scent which fades quickly. Immediately after putting it on, you are greeted by an intense cooling sensation. It feels like shoving your face into a bowl of ice cubes. After the shock wears off, it fades into a very cool, soothing feeling which is quite nice. After a few minutes, I was amazed at how supple my skin felt; I actually didn't require any additional moisturizing, which is unheard of for me. Really nice.

I just ordered a bottle from Men's Essentials, and threw in some other Baxters products for good measure (really liked my sample of the face wash also).

This is a really good product. I would be interested in comparing it to the Proraso lotion (sticking to the cooling theme), but I don't have any of it on hand.

Scotto, Baxters is an excellent balm especially when you consider the cost. A little goes a long way.

I've got some of their samples. Not too crazy about the aroma, but the way it makes your face feel is great! I want to mention that although they have samples for purchase, I emailed them about wanting to try only the shaving cream and after shave products. They sent me a very decent supply.

I love the Baxter Aftershave Balm....nice cooling sensation without overdoing it. As I have oily skin and it is a balm, I only find myself using it at night as I would be way to oily by the end of the day. But then again, most of my shaves are at night. I noticed that you can no longer get the 6oz bottle of the aftershave. It appears as though it only comes in a 4oz tube. Its a shame as I much prefer the bottle.

I got a full bottle of this stuff, and I continue to be impressed. The past few shaves for whatever reason have produced some irritation and razor burn, but this stuff soothes it like nothing else. Really good product. I also have been using the shampoo and conditioner - I will post a separate review.
