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
Great razor, well priced and delivered on time.
Excellent razor. The titanium finish looks aesthetically pleasing. I prefer the added weight over the AL13. I get a great shave with various different razor blades. Highly recommend and well worth the extra money. A true engineering feat.
Simply best razor you can have. No regrets whatsoever. Highly recommended!
Excellent smooth shave and easier to use than any other manual razor I have used!

Amazing razor. Very close shave and great feeling using it. It should last forever
Just thought I would do an update. I tried one of the free RK blades today, terrible. You will not appreciate how good this razor is with these blades. If you are new to DE shaving DO GET Astra blades. My previous review was with my usual Astra blades, superb and a completly different shave with these blades. Have yet to try my Feather blades but expecting great results with those too. Male Grooming Supplies, why are you promoting such a poor blade with such a great shaver. If its Henson doing this, tell them. At the very least throw in a pack of Astras for anyone new to shaving. This review is here to help you. Its a BRILLIANT shave, with the right blade.
Great shave, great service. This Henson medium is a lovely razor and easy to get used to its design. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up, but that’s not going to take away from how good it is or the helpful conversation I had with the customer support team
Seems expensive at first , but when you get the sheath , superior materials and it is a life long purchase after all it ain’t that bad . Prefer it to my futur which I’ve used for 7 years ( set on 1 to avoid knicks ) as it’s a bit more nimble . Feels great in the hand and is top quality .
Been wanting to move away from disposable razors for use on my head and was recommended the AL13. It’s epic…
