Great Stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

I had been 'hunting' for a new product to apply to my face after shaving. I had gone through quite a number of them until finding Baxter of California After Shave Balm--I've been using it for almost a year now. To be honest, when it first arrived I wasn't so thrilled with the fragrance... it reminded me of the barber shop when I was a boy (decades ago!). Interestingly, now I have come to enjoy the scent, rather fresh when you apply it... and it doesn't linger too long. The balm is very soothing to the skin, and moisturizes without any trace of greasiness. If you have very dry skin, you may need to apply a moisturizer in addition to this product. I like that it doesn't make your face shiny, more of a matte finish on your skin--clean, fresh, and comforting--it never stings or irritates. This is really excellent stuff! A small dab goes a long way...one tube lasts me almost 6 months. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a quality after-shave balm that won't break the bank.

This after shave balm is very ordinary. Good moisturizer, with little or no scent. Also the consistency is thin. A very ordinary product.

Look, this product is not cheap, its downright expensive. But Amazon says I've purchased this 12 times, roughly once every 3 months, it's amazing, smells great (less so after the reformulations) it's light and hydrates without feeling overly oily or sticky or anything. But for some reason when I went to reorder it said it was discontinued so I tried a different product that's less than a quarter of the price and it works great. Turns out you don't need to spend a fortune on this, cheaper stuff works just as great.

Costly but worth it. I use it every time I shave.

I pride myself in a very close shave---both my face and my head. Baxter's is expensive, but I use it every time I shave. It's an indispensable part of avoiding the usual bumps and ingrown hairs I used to deal with. It smells awesome, the cooling effect is great, and it helps keep my scalp and face from drying out. It would be nice if the price went down, and it would be awful if they stopped making it.

Excellent soothing after shave

This is an excellent, soothing after shave. It provides immediate and long-lasting relief. I have sensitive skin but don't usually have a problem with razor burn -- this product works great for me. It isn't greasy and doesn't leave a sheen -- it is absorbed immediately. My only somewhat negative comment is the fragrance -- it smells like a margarita, which may appeal to some but it's not what I expect in an after shave balm. Fortunately, the fragrance disappears in a few minutes and I've never had anyone comment on it.

Cool and refreshing aftershave

I've been using this product since 2010 and it is an excellent post shave product. It is cool and refreshing on the face and does not dry my skin out. A little bit goes a long way.

Best for everyday shaving

One of my essentials while active duty in the Air Force. This product (along with the exfoliating scrub) literally prevented razor bumps and allowed me to maintain a clean shaven look. The gel texture made application very smooth. The scent is so pleasant and moisturized so well I would put it on even when I didn’t shave!

I bought this for my husband who works hard outside every day for his family and isn't one for using hardly anything on his skin beyond soap and shaving cream. I talked him into trying this because I noticed he was getting razor bumps. This product has helped so much in a very short time! Within a week or two, not only have the red bumps decreased significantly, but his skin is looking so much better, too. It's looking smoother, fresher, younger. I am really impressed, especially since I was not thinking his skin looked bad at all, just the razor burn, but now that I see the difference, I see how wrong I was. Now, let's see if I can talk him into using another product to take care of his skin...pfft, men. You're a lot of work, you know that? But it's a good thing this one's worth it 😉 🥰
