Ours. Some feel our splashes are thicker. All alcohol free.

My favorite, and only, is Stirling Glacial post-shave balm.

I'm sure it's not the best out there. But it very well may be the best bang for your buck. No alcohol in this one, either. It does what I need it to do, and at a sub $10 price. I'm happy.

Yup, on all counts, though I go with their unscented so it doesn't interfere with any post-shave fragrance I may want to use.

Yep, I guess I should have noted that part... Unscented glacial.

After much trial and error, I find that I’m not a balm guy.
Even though I know it’s bad for me, I like alcohol splashes.
I have tried Barts Balm from Scotland, meh.
In the dryer skin winter weather I splash on some hyaluronic acid and follow up with some of Chicago Grooming Good Oleo.
Works great for shaving irritation and dry skin.
If I had to pick an alcohol free balm, it would be Nivea.
I like both their lotion and balm.
I scored a Nivea from the UK called Fresh Kick After Shave Balm With Mint & Cactus Water.
I like it a lot, just don’t use it much in the summer.

ABC, the best, and except for the apricot hull, they’re ‘non-balmy’ balms. They work just as well in warm weather. Maybe not for the faint of wallet though.

XPEC made a fantastic balm. Rest in peace, fantastic balm… WhollyKaw is of course great, and I much enjoy the Mysterium Serum balm that Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements made available. Zingari Man Recovery Splash is splendid, so I should try their balm next.

Good thread and I'm looking to up my post shave balm. The non alcoholic balms sound like a nice direction to go.
