Can you guys think of any affordable lime scented aftershaves that would pair well with Castle Forbes or Trumper's limes?

While we're at it, how about sandalwood or lavender as well?

I should have mentioned I'm looking for aftershave balms. 5.95 for 15oz is incredible though... I wish they listed some information about the ingredients.

Just my opinion, but I don't know if any of the ingredients would be natural. It's got a pretty non-natural smell. Not bad, just not natural.

St. Charles Shave makes nice versions of all three in both balm and splash.

Caswell Massey Lime aftershave is quite good, anther suggestion is Royall Lyme but I find this one is more of a edt. Despite their marginal shaving soaps and creams Caswell Massesy's aftershaves are all very underrated.l

If you don't mind something paired with the limey smell, I am a big fan of Pinaud Citrus Musk.

I have used a couple fairly good ones but I have a question. How much(approx figure)is "affordable" to you?

Just a follow up on my last reply above. I've used a quite nice lemon(or lime) scented aftershave balm from Mama Bear Soaps but its in the $20-30 price range.

SCS owner here as well. Mama Bears does have some nice scents if you don't mind paying a bit more. Both brands perform very well.

I use the Limes cream with the Limes Skin Food, and it is a nice combination. Only problem is the scent doesn't last long, which is pretty true of citrus based scents in general though.

Not on the cheaper side but TOBS Victorian Limes is very nice.

Thanks for your responses. I was wondering, how would you rate SCS aftershaves as far as moisturizing and just overall?

I like that too - and it has better staying power than some limes.

Here you are, and I keep a 2oz atomizer for refreshing since Citrus is a fleeting scent.
