Aftershave or Balm ?

[Johnny40s]

Face is getting dry after i use my Aqua-Velva, would a balm be better ?

It depends on your skin to start with... A balm is probably better yes. Have a look here: http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Aftershaves

Sure! I use a balm for the same reasons ... after shave just leaves my skin too dry.

A balm would better

Thayers WH also works! But there are a number of good balms out there that will provide great relief. You can also use a moisturizer.

I always apply witch hazel before using an AS or balm. Aqua-Velva is a bit too strong for me full-strength. I cut it 50-50 with witch hazel.

I'm a big balm fan, and I suspect that your face will feel better using one if AV is drying you out.

I use both , one week balm and the other the aftershave . In the past I was using only the balm , a bottle of balm will be with you for very long time like 8 month .

I use a blam in the cooler months. The only thing I do after a shave in the summer is a cold water rinse.
