About Post-Shave
Balms, Alum and Lotions
After shaving, rinse the skin and choose the finish that suits it. Balm gives comfort and moisture, alum gives a traditional mineral feel and helps highlight pressure, while after shave lotion or splash adds a cleaner scented finish.
For Nicks and Irritation
Use an alum block across larger shaved areas or a styptic pencil for a small nick. If the skin feels tight afterwards, follow with a light post-shave balm. For sensitive skin, keep fragrance and alcohol level in mind when choosing.
For a traditional French alum and skincare range, browse Féret Parfumeur, including Bloc Hyalin and Hyalomiel.
Matching the Routine
A comfortable finish starts before the last step. If shaving feels harsh, review your pre-shave preparation, lather from shaving cream or shaving soap, and blade choice before relying only on balm.
Which Post-Shave Product Should You Choose?
Choose by the job you want the product to do. The Osma Alum Block 75g is a traditional mineral post-shave step for the wider shaved area, while the Cyril R. Salter Styptic Pencil is intended for targeted use on a small nick. For a moisturising finish, compare the Tabac Original Aftershave Balm 75ml with D.R. Harris Aftershave Milk. Choose Pashana Original Aftershave 100ml when you prefer a classic aftershave lotion format.
Browse established post-shave ranges from D.R. Harris, Proraso and Captain Fawcett to compare balms, lotions and other finishing products.
To pair shaving cream with a matching balm or fragrance profile, explore the Castle Forbes range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use aftershave balm or lotion?
Use aftershave balm when comfort and moisture matter most. Use after shave lotion or splash when you want a classic scented finish and your skin tolerates it well.
What is an alum block used for after shaving?
An alum block is dampened and passed lightly over shaved skin. It gives a traditional mineral finish, helps show where pressure was too heavy and can be useful before applying balm.
What helps with small shaving cuts?
Use a styptic pencil for small nicks, applying it directly to the area after rinsing. For general post-shave feel, use alum or balm depending on the skin.
Can I use post-shave care with a safety razor?
Yes. Post-shave balm, alum, styptic pencils and aftershave can be used after shaving with a safety razor, straight razor, shavette or cartridge razor.
Let customers speak for us
Item as described excellent condition arrived on time. Very good value
The best service and competitive prices. I am a returning customer.
This Henson razor is really beautifully crafted. I love the way the handle feels in your hand, even when wet. It's so lightweight, I couldn't believe how light it actually felt. It shaves really good too, just be aware that the medium version is definitely a lot more aggressive than the mild... newbies beware! I am really pleased with it, it will surely last a lifetime. Happy:)
Bought this to replace a Futur Adjustable chrome plated razor because the chrome plating had failed and the base metal was corroded. Hopefully the solid stainless steel will out last the plated varieties. This is an excellent razor, exquisitely manufactured and very easy to keep clean. The slim head makes it easy to do under the nose and easy to follow contours of the jaw.
Feels good in the hand, nice weight and machined rather than cast.
I haven't wet shaved for a few decades because of razor burn and soreness, but recently decided to try again.
After going down the YouTube review rabbit hole I purchased this razor. I am very glad I did, and it is perfect for me. No razor burn at all. Very pleased.
Been using the razor now for over two weeks. It’s an excellent razor that gives a really close shave. Very light and easy to use. Even having a slight scar on my chin it doesn’t present a problem. Much better than some of the multi blade razors. One blade is enough! A lot cheaper with the blades and more environmentally friendly.
Great little stand which compliments my new Simpsons shaving brush perfectly!
Greet brush brings a great lather, its not too big, so great for holidays, synthetic, so drys quickly
Good razor if you have a thick beard and several days growth, open comb lets the several sday stuble easily rinse out without clogging
It does what it says in description
A lot of hair is falling out.
But it’s okay.
It will settle down after a few uses.
Right from the start, the user experience is excellent.
This was purchesed as a replacement for a 40 year-old case. This is the classic case for a classic razor. I'm thrilled that this is available. And the delivery to the States was icredibly fast. Thank you!
Very good case fits the razor fantastic, nice and safe in my wash bag
