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.
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.
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
I'm usually used to using a heavy shaver for my daily shave. I thought about trying the Henson AL 13 v2 as I quite fancied a change. I was very surprised to find this shaver is very accurate to use almost surgical like. I quite fancy now perhaps trying to buy a Henson ti22 which is the titanium version. I most certainly recommend this company and this shaver highly. I will be using male grooming supplies again in future.
I was debating whether to get the medium or aggressive razor. As I can't be a***ed to shave more than every five days I went for the aggressive. Fantastic, just cuts through the stubble with consummate ease. Very light and ergonomic too. Easy to manoeuvre and the design means that you get the correct shaving angle naturally.
The only thing better is the service from MGS! I had a few queries which were answered almost immediately, great! I ordered the razor on Friday afternoon and it was delivered by nine on Saturday morning. Brilliant.
Both the razor and service are so good in fact that I will probably order the medium Henson to go with its big brother.
Thanks guys!
This brush (T3) is amazing and fantastic value for money. Well made and made to last. Robust when lathering up with no need to pre soak before use. Highly recommended.
Having just got back into wet shaving, I thought I would try the T3 Trafalgar & Henson AL13++. I've just used both of them and they are fantastic. The T3 is great for lathering and no need to pre soak. The Henson is just something else. If you are new to wet shaving, go for this, I didn’t have any nicks but a really close shave (3 passes). Don’t be put off as it is very lightweight, the blade will do the work and you will learn how much pressure you need to apply after a couple of uses. Using these going forward will be an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended, both of them.
Taylor of Old Bond Street is a wonderful shaving cream and I highly recommend to all.
Simpson Bay Rum shaving cream has got a very delicate but elegant scent, not too overpowering but very pleasant throughout the shave. The cream lathers easily and it's very slick, the razor will glide effortlessly. Post shave is very good, my skin was left soft and elastic even before applying the post shave balm. Definitely recommended!
After several years my old razor stopped aligning the blade correctly. This razor is a much better design, easier to clean, and a very smooth shave.
I have the Muhle R89 standard, however I wanted I wanted to improve on it for two main reasons, a longer handle and having a two rather than three piece head, whilst retaining the R89 head. The R89 'twist' was just what I needed and it most definitely works for.
Highly recommended well done male grooming for rapid dispatch
salter shaving creams never dissapoint, performance is great and aftershave feel fantastic.
the vetiver fragrance is a very dark earthy fragrance if you like vetiver this is for you
cannot fault this cream only wish they did matching splashes or balms
