after shave

The A/S (aftershave) balm, is just as important to your face a shave cream is to shaving!   Because your face can be dry and irritated from shaving even more so in the winter months, the A/S balm is used to calm, moisturize and heal dry/irritated skin from the aggressive nature of shaving.

But, what’s more attractive to the average shaver, [...]
