Hey gents. Looking for some advice on a good moisturizer that could act as a post shave or aftershave. I have extremely sensitive skin, cella burns me and a lot of shaving soaps with fragrances tend to irritate my skin. With the winter months approaching and colder/dry weather, I tend to need more protection. Something that won't clog my pores as I still suffer from acne breakouts and won't leave my skin feeling oily or look shiny. SPF would be a plus. Also something that won't break the bank. Sorry if I'm asking for some miracle elixir but I figure any of you gents with wives could ask them a great daily driver moisturizer. thanx gents.

Nivia for men sensitive post shave balm is what I use. I hear allot of people on here like it too. I'm not sure about SPF though. That's all I can offer. I'm sure someone else can help you better! Good luck!
I like RazoRock aftershave wax, a little goes a long way and absorbs quickly. As for it being SPF, unfortunately it is not.
There was a thread a while back about this though that may be of some help. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/208233-Any-good-Aftershave-Balms-with-SPF
Hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck!

I find that I get the needed moisturizing and irritation relief from a simple combination of Thayer's witch hazel with aloe and Nivea Sensitive Skin After Shave balm.
Neutrogena has a product called Triple Protect. It has a SPF of 20. You can also use a regular moisturizer that has SPF protection. CeraVe has an AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion that has an SPF protection factor of 30.
I too have sensitive skin. Thayer's witch hazel works for me, followed by Baume.be balm. The Baume.be product range was put together specifically for gents with sensitive skin. Not cheap but I have had tremendous success with it. I also have the shaving cream in my rotation and am a big fan.
Nivea Sensitive for sure. If you want to try something super cheap, with good moisturizing and scent try Afta.
The Proraso white balm is also very gentle.
Good ole Nivea.
How do you combine the two?
