my brain goes "thonk"
I was wondering if anyone can recommend an aftershave balm. I'm currently using Baxter Of California and was just thinking about trying something new.

Boy...You will get many recommendations on this. I prefer AS balms without alcohol because I use a splash before the balm goes on. Just to throw a few out: RazoRock (pick your flavour), Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba and Crabtree & Evelyn (pick your flavour). I find each of these products to be soothing and healing.
Nivea Post Shave Balm either for sensitive skin or regular. Works great, widely available, and inexpensive.
I think QCS balms are the best. (Not that I've tried everything -- The Gentlemen's Refinery has a stellar reputation, but is pricey for me).
I like The Real Shaving Co for cheap and available at my local drug store, but you don't get scent choices.
RazoRock's AS "waxes" are top-notch, too, and so long-lasting I'm sort of impatient waiting till I can try another scent.

Also a fan of the Nivea balms.
Proraso and Nivea
+100 for nivea. I use the sensitive for both de and straight shaving. Great product at a decent price.
John Allan aftershave balm I've been using for a year now. Keeps the bbs all day
Another vote for L'Occitane. Cade in particular, nice scent for Fall as well.
Not cheap but I find Art of Shaving soothing and a delightful scent.
St Charles and Stirling Balms are excellent, affordable and are in glass bottles. Large selections. I have recently ordered Stirling Orange Chill.
After trying many, Nivea, Proraso, and Speick are my go to balms.
Nivea is great, and I like the RSC balm even better. Both available locally, too.
Taconic balm
There are lots to choose from:
L'Occitane balms are great, real creams.
Saint Charles Shave's milks are thick liquids and very effective
DR Harris milks are the same way

L'occitane Cade for quality without regard to price point; Nivea is price is a factor.
+1 Added bonus, SWMBO lokes the clean scent.
I recently saw the Shea Moisture line's Tea Tree after shave in my local Target for less than $7. At that price, I thought, "Why not?"
It's a good product with many useful active ingredients, including witch hazel and willow bark. No alcohol.
Pleasant light citrusy scent and effective too.
