Jumping on to the forum earlier today, I came across a great thread from beautygeek15.

I loved the way she re-told the experience – it made me laugh out loud – so I decided I had to share it with everyone. No doubt a lot of us can relate!

“So, last night after shaving, G comes in to the bedroom looking a bit defeated, and tells me “I think you’re right”. Now… this could’ve meant a LOT of things in my head, but the one he did mean was the last one I expected:
“I think I need after shave balm”.

The reason this is a shocker is because G, in his own words, “doesn’t believe in male skin care, he’s a bloke”. No matter what I’ve said in the past he still thinks that moisturiser and scrubs are never going to be part of his regimen, and I’ve tried bringing up after shave balm many a time, singing the praises that it’ll help with the irritation and redness that G has after shaving, but he’s never ‘bought it’.

Last night, his neck was very red, inflamed and not so good looking, so I put a bit of my soothing moisturiser on him, and G proceeded to say that I could “jump on beautyheaven and find out what he should be using.” (I found that so cute - he knows I’m a bit obsessed lol)

So…here I am! Can anyone recommend a good after-shave balm (by good I mean one in the supermarket, no way in heck G will use a high end one, can’t afford it anyways)? Would greatly appreciate help!
Thanks girls :-)” – beautygeek15
