Bluebeards Revenge stuff

Anyone use it?
I'm just trying out their A/S gel at the moment, as I seem to be having a bit of a negative reaction to the Razorock A/S wax, sadly.
It may be a product which is more UK based than in the USA?
I'm pretty happy with my existing croaps, which are
Razorock XXX &
Proraso sensitive skin
+ Co Bigelow in a tube for my frequent travelling with (which I think is v. similar to the Proraso).
If/When I buy another soap/cream, I think MWF will be next to try out, but I'm still looking for the right A/S product. it will need to be very moisturising & soothing as I get redness of my neck very easily. However, DE shaving has GREATLY reduced this, which I am delighted about, even after 3 passes!
An excellent A/S would help me complete my kit.
So Bluebeards Revenge, or maybe another reccommendation?
Cheers
Matt.

I like Feather Kanwas AS. It leaves my skin moisturized without feeling sticky like other balms.
Does the job for me and calms down any irritation I might have.

Yes, I tried the shaving cream. It is good, but not exceptional in any way IMHO. You live in shaving cream/soap heaven. Look at the creams and soaps from TOBS, T&H, D.R. Harris, Geo. Trumpers. Surely they have something that might be good for you.

I'm sorry, I've never used the Blue beard's revenge A/S. if witch hazel is available in the UK, either locally, from one of the shaving vendors, or from Amazon, you might try it. I find it helps soothe and condition my skin better than anything I've used. In fact, I use it on my entire face and neck.

I have only used Thayers brand of WH. I'm almost finished my first bottle of their "witch hazel w/ aloe astringent" bought about four months ago. My next bottle is their "witch hazel with cucumber". I used it today for the first time, and it seems even better than the other, based on this one use. My skin feels really good tonight. It does smell like freshly sliced cucumbers, but the smell doesn't last.

When I want to use a balm, I use Niivea Sensitive. But, like Bowlturner said, the classic companies make some very good balms, too.

Hope this helps.

The new Razorock AS lotions are excellent IMO. Very light and refreshing. No burn and light scent. A new favorite of mine!

For a classic and totally different take on things Captains Choice Bay Rum is hard to beat!

I used this a while back. It is more of a gel than a balm. I think that is why it dries so quickly without any stickiness.

I like Bluebeard's Revenge. Tricky to get (not impossible) if you're in the US, although I hear their rebranding it as 'Dreadnought' and making it available here shortly. I did a full review a week or so ago:
