I got some samples of Biotherm Aquapower after shave but it´s too greasy, like putting nivea creme.

That is vomiting, so I got to shower again. I can´t put my collar and ties on a greasy neck, puagh!


What do you use ?

thayer's witchazel in a large atomizer.... light moisturization, antibacterial, and no shine. It works 60% of the time, every time.

Oh I forgot to say that I live in Europe, so most of your products don´t exist here.

Yours seems good.

I use Nivea for men Replenishing aftershave balm. Not greasy at all, absorbs quickly and only costs around $5.

I use a combination of aloe vera gel and Shiseido Men Hydrating Lotion as after shave.

Prorasso makes a nice aftershave balm that's not too greasy.

I like the Task Essential After Shave. I use it in conjunction with their Face Wash, and I never have grease problems.

The Art of Shaving After shave Balm, despite being thick and creamy has something in it, like clay or whatever mattifying ingredient, that dries quick and leaves no shine and oiliness.

You can buy little samples, like 10 or 12 for $10 on ebay.

I bought today the Biotherm active shave repair for sensitive skin , alcohol free. Was almost 30 euros for just 50ml, Damn! I haven´t tried yet. I´ll tell you. Thanks for all the posting, I'd like to have tried some of yours but they don´t import here.
