Equivalent to Nivea balm?

HI Guys,

I've found that Nivia sensitive after shave is about the right 'style' for my skin type. In contrast I found the Stray Whisker balm to be too oily (yell out if anyone want's a PIF :) ). So what other balms are out there that have the same type of light consistency as Nivia (i.e. non-oily) but with different scents?

Cheers
 
I'd love to try the stray whisker stuff if the offers still good, I personally really love the natio men's facial moisturiser as a post shave. Really nice IMHO dispite it not being its intended use

Expensive but lasts ages and good with my oily skin = Jabonman Eufros balms
 
Natio balm is really good if you want something locally.

Myrsol emulsion is my go to after shave balm and I highly recommend it.
 
BTW I also sent you a small sample of TSW after balm. I filled the small container used by TSW to send samples with some of my tube :D

Can't wait to try it, it's been on my list for ages but havnt pulled the trigger
 
Nivea - easily sourced, is thin, non-oily, but leaves your skin supple enough and just gets the job done - I hear you.

I agree with the above posts recommending Natio. Two options:

- Natio Calming ASB - comes in a larger bottle (has parabens if this bothers you, but doesn't concern me). It has a thinner consistency & spreads easily. Subtle citrus/lemon scent - a nice Spring/Summer ASB.
- Natio Maximum ASB - a slightly thicker consistency than the above, but absorbs very quickly and leaves no oily residue (this one is Paraben Free). You'd think because it was thicker, it would probably leave a more oily residue - but that's not the case. IMO, it has a dryer touch than the Calming ASB. Subtle woody scent - personally prefer it during Autumn/Winter.
