The more I'm looking around this site and then checking out on-line vendors, the more I see people using two or three products to get the final result "aftershave".
I'm looking for a moisturizing lotion, alcohol free, scent free, with some sort of SPF that won't clog pores and (preferably) won't cost me a pile of money. ::) It seems like the Aveeno line is closest to what I want but not exactly- are there any other suggestions?
On another note, I have been at this site all day long. O0 It is so great to read these threads and get new ideas on how to improve tomorrow's shave. I'm so glad I took the time to type in "head shaving" in a search engine. 8)
Thanks again!
-
The combo I use is "kinda pricey"...
-
Don't know any off the top, I'd figure that Aveeno would be the closest but I use Lubriderm with spf and it's pretty much a staple and it's cheap as well as a bottle lasting for ever. There is copious amounts in regards to shaving, pre-shave, post-shave here and if you need any help I'm sure any of us will help you out in anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I found a Coppertone sunscreen that fits the majority of what I was looking for (it's not alcohol free). $8 and change for 8oz. so that even works out well. I'll see how it works the next few days and report back- maybe in the review section.
Again, thanks. O0

Somebody posted the other day that Neutrogena has a new line of products that may fit your needs.

Thanks. That was me. ;D

The three I use are Matte For Men's Head Care Lotion (http://www.slybaldguys.com/mfm.php) (SPF 26), HeadLube with SPF 30 (http://www.slybaldguys.com/headblade), and Cetaphil Face Lotion (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ET73D8?ie=UTF8&tag=slybaldguys-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ET73D8) (SPF 15). I use Bald Guyz (http://www.baldguyshopz.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=2&idproduct=13?idaffiliate=4) also, but it has alcohol.

Thanks Tyler. I live out in the sticks of GA, but am pretty sure I can find the Cetaphil stuff and see how that works. Thanks for the recommendation!
-
Cetaphil stuff is widely available. As is Neutrogena.
-
Looks like omegapd, GAslick, and I are all from GA! Cool. 8)
I use HeadLube with SPF 30 (it's matte only) when I don't want a high gloss. I wish HB would make a HeadLube Glossy w/ SPF 30.
A few weeks ago I picked up Vaseline Aloe Fresh Protecting lotion (SPF 15). It works nicely and isn't greasy. Has a pleasant scent, too.
I'll have to check out that Cetaphil Face Lotion. I tried the regular Cetaphil in the past for hands and face and it's great!
-
Nivea for men has a lotion that I use on my head after shaving it has no scent and has an SPF of 20. Not oily and goes on smoothly.

I think SaintC started a thread about the Neutrogena. Based on his recommendation I went and got some, kinda pricey, but just as he said it was not greasy. It's called Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock, SPF 85+. Used it last week on the links, didn't need a chappeau. Lasts a good long time, too.
I got a 3 oz. tube at WallyWorld for about $11 and it came with a little companion tube (about .5 oz.) that I keep in my golf bag. BTW, I suck at golf.
The thread started by SaintC had to do with 90 spf Neutrogena Age Face Shield. He's got a thread in here about 90 spf that isn't greasy and doesn't sting.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I make my own aftershave. I use Witch Hazel and I mix in Aloe Vera Gel until the mix starts to thicken just a bit and begins to get a whitish tint to it. I also add pure Tea Tree Oil as an antiseptic but this adds a smell which doesn't last long. The nice thing about this mixture is that when I apply it it is very slick as long as it hasn't dried so if I feel stubble I can make a few passes over it with the blade without having to lather up again. No SPF protection, though, but I can always put on the Neutrogena afterward.
-
I don't use aftershave, never have not even for my face. Can someone tell me the benefit?
-
I use it more in the winter than in the summer. Keeps my head from drying out. Summer time I use it more for scent than function.

It will help to close your pores..... helping to avoid bumps. If you nicked yourself it will stem the bleeding (but burn like Hell for a second or two). And if you find the correct scent it will help to get you laid............

Nice!

Never helped me......OH WHAT THE HELL!

Yep, there sure is: Bald Guyz Moisture gel. ;)

I ran out of Witch Hazel the other morning and the only thing I could find in the house that I thought could come close to performing a "WH-like function" was a bottle of Listerine mouthwash sitting on the countertop in the kid's bathroom.
Not only did it burn like hell g@@4 but it kept my melon smellin' minty fresh the whole day!! :*))

You could throw some Icy-Hot on there and get the best of both worlds.
