A week or two of aftershave balms....

This is the stuff!
Awesome in a tube!

Long intro to get to my point.... but I do eventually get there.... I have a friend in hospital, so I will dedicate this blogpost to anyone who is recovering from surgery. May my writing be a distraction from your recovery.

I used to adore my Fahrenheit aftershave balm. Application was glorious, smooth and creamy with an amazing smell of old wood, asian spice and (so the label suggests) blokey kero. Yep, that's what I said. Kero. (For people reading from outside Australia, that's an abbreviation for Kerosene). What I particularly liked was the way the aftershave balm calmed my skin down after shaving. 

My skin never liked shaving and if you remember one of my very early posts, my facial hair isn't thick. When I was younger, I would shave too close, with a blunt blade and... well. Bloodshed. Or, at the very least; angry skin. So, the aftershave balm was a blessing. Soothing and smelt very  good!

As things went on, I changed by habits and routine. For a long while, I used nothing on my face. Oh, some aftershave lotion if I was going out, but otherwise nothing. A while ago, Badhairboy tweeted his daily routine of using one of his skin products on a daily basis... and that got me thinking about skin care. (Yes, yes. Apparently twitter DOES work as a sub-conscious sales tool. I bought the product to give it a go as well :) 

All-Natural Raz*War
Aftershave balm

And now, we are having our bathroom renovated. In clearing it out, I found a heap of aftershave balms that I had stashed away. So, over the coming weeks, I am going to plunge back into the Aftershave Balm experience. 

Still a bit lost with the links? Skin care. Bathroom findings. Aftershave balm. Got it? Great!

Every week, I will use a different aftershave balm and report back to you, my readers, about my thoughts, the feel, Mrs TMB's comments and any other feedback I get about the balm. With a tip of the hat, the first will be the all-natural Raz*War Aftershave balm.
