Best After Shave Balms of 2025

"I've been using this post-shave balm for years and find it to be the best I've tried. It helps with any burning sensation after shaving and has a clean scent that I really enjoy. I shave about three times a week, and this product lasts a good amount of time."

"This is by far the best aftershave I've used. It doesn't irritate or dry out my skin like others do, and the price is fair for the quality!"

"I absolutely love this post-shave balm. It feels amazing on my skin—non-greasy and refreshing. I've tried various aftershaves, but since discovering this one, I haven't considered switching to anything else. It absorbs quickly, prevents irritation, and a little goes a long way. Highly recommend!"

"I've made Harry's Post Shave Balm a crucial part of my grooming routine. From the first use, my skin felt noticeably smoother and more hydrated after shaving. The light, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving no residue. Plus, it effectively soothes irritation and reduces redness. The fresh scent is a bonus, not overpowering at all. I love how well it keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day, helping to prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs. The sleek packaging is also great for travel!"

"After searching for the perfect post shave balm, I can confidently say I've found it! This balm is simply outstanding. It leaves my skin incredibly smooth and refreshed after shaving, soothing irritation and reducing redness. Its perfect consistency makes it easy to apply, and it doesn’t leave any greasy residue. This balm has truly exceeded my expectations!"

"I really enjoy using this balm after shaving. It quickly takes care of any irritation or redness, and it smells great. My skin feels soft to the touch afterwards, which is a huge plus!"

"I bought this to help with irritation after waxing, and it works very well at getting rid of redness and light swelling. The pleasant light fragrance and smooth, non-greasy application made it perfect for my sensitive skin. I even used it for hives from an allergic reaction, and it cleared up redness and soothed my skin."

"This balm has become my go-to for calming my skin after shaving. I feel immediate relief from redness and irritation as soon as I apply it. The blend of honey and bee pollen gives it a nice, light scent without any sticky residue. A little goes a long way, making it last quite a while!"

"As a bald man, I find it hard to get products compatible with my scalp. This post-shave healing balm spreads beautifully and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. It doesn't feel greasy at all, and I appreciate the great price and fast shipping. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great aftershave balm for their head."

"I've tried many products, but this lotion is the most effective against burns and irritation. I have sensitive skin, and it works perfectly. It's even better than Nivea Sensitive aftershave! In winter, it's thick and moisturizing, while in summer, it cools but can feel oily after a few hours. If you enjoy mint, the cooling sensation lasts for at least 20 minutes, but if you're not a fan of fragrance, this may not be for you."

"After using Nivea for a while, I've switched to this balm from Cremo. It absorbs nicely and seems to reduce irritation, which is great. While Nivea did a decent job moisturizing, it didn't do much else. I was a bit surprised that I didn't love the smell since I had such a good experience with Cremo's shaving cream, but the performance of this balm wins me over."

"I really enjoy using this aftershave balm. It provides a pleasant cooling sensation—not too cold—and feels wonderful going on. My skin feels very hydrated and soft afterward. It's a fantastic product!"

"I was searching for an after shaving balm, and I finally found it! Soothing and beautifully scented, I’ll definitely buy more."

"Initially, I was unsure about another sandalwood scent, but I decided to try it. This aftershave is fantastic! It absorbs quickly and the fragrance lasts over three hours."

"The product feels great after shaving. It’s not overpowering, providing a subtle and satisfying freshness.”

"I was thrilled to find this stick deodorant on Amazon after struggling to locate it in stores for over 10 years. It’s perfect for me and lasts over 12 months, even in the tropics!"

"After using this after shave balm, my face feels incredibly smooth without any burning sensation. It pairs wonderfully with the cologne."

"Having used this product for 20+ years, I can't recommend it enough. It’s very soothing for my sensitive skin after shaving."

“I absolutely LOVE how this product smells on my husband! He appreciates how it cares for his skin after shaving. The scent is not overpowering, just right. It calms irritation and leaves his face soft. I would highly recommend it!”

“I’ve been using this for about two weeks now, and it keeps my face feeling moisturized while eliminating irritation from shaving. My girlfriend has noticed the scent and is a fan too. I'm satisfied with the product, though I think it’s a bit overpriced.”

“This brand needs no introduction; this product is fantastic! It’s perfect for my sensitive skin after daily shaving. My skin feels smooth and rejuvenated throughout the day.”

"After shaving my face and head, I found this product works excellent! It outperforms other brands and lasts longer."

"For my sensitive skin, the Nivea Men Maximum Hydration Post Shave Balm has become my go-to. The pleasant scent and smooth application provide a comforting experience and keep my skin hydrated all day. I even subscribed to ensure I never run out!"

"I've been using this brand forever, and it leaves my face looking healthy and well-moisturized. My only complaint is about Amazon's packaging; they sent it in an envelope without proper protection, which led to broken bottles."

"I've tried many Bevel products and have been thoroughly impressed. This aftershave is incredible; it completely soothes my skin after shaving and feels better than any other combination I've used. I expected it to last quite a while since you don’t need much. It’s also great for non-shaving days. I was initially skeptical, but now I’m highly impressed with Bevel."

"At first, I was skeptical about this product because of the heavy marketing. However, the ingredients like tea tree oil and salicylic acid caught my attention. Upon receipt, I noticed the bottle was only half full and had no inner seal, which was disappointing. After using it, my neck was red, likely due to the salicylic acid, but by day two, it was smooth and bump-free. This product works, and if you want something effective against razor bumps, it's worth trying."

"I have allergies to most shaving products, but this lotion works great for my head shaving. It has a nice smell, feels wonderful, and I’ve had no allergic reactions."

"I've been using the Proraso Aftershave Balm for a couple of days, and it works well as an aftershave. I rated it 4 stars because the fragrance isn't my absolute favorite; it's subtle and not bad, just not what I prefer. However, the balm absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft."

"I appreciate the hefty glass bottle of the Proraso After Shave Balm. The scent, while hard to describe, has many undertones that I like. It pours easily, allowing me to control the amount, and I've had no complaints so far. I'm also excited to replace my 'Brand X' brush with a Proraso brush soon."

"After trying several aftershave balms, I came across Proraso, and I wish I had discovered it sooner. The quality is high, and each variant I tried has a pleasant scent, like eucalyptus and green tea. If you haven't used aftershave balm before, I highly recommend giving Proraso a try."
