Matte For Men (M4M) (http://slybaldguys.com/mfm.php). Probably the least used post-shave product on SBG. Could my review change that?

Scent: None. I like this because I'm able to use this in conjunction with a cologne. Artificial scents can also lend themselves to skin irritation.
Burn: Negative.
Moisturizing: This products seems to 'hydrate' the skin more than moisturize. I think this is critical because a head can get greasy if it's covered with a 'moisturizer'. M4M works to balance your heads natural moisture. It's hard to envision this until you see the difference it makes on your head. The active ingredients for hydration in M4M are Aloe and Oat Colloids. My dome feels amazing.
Absorption: Superb. This is a fast-absorbing cream. I was cautious about this product at first, having bad experiences with cream-based post-shave balms. My worries however, were soon put to rest. Simply amazing.
Cooling: I don't believe there is any added menthol or 'cooling agents'. I think this is an overall good thing as some people are allergic to menthol. Since this balm doesn't burn or sting the skin, I will rate it as 'Good'.
Soothing: Very soothing. This will caress your head after a rough shave. It's like VIP treatment. 8) *^)
Healing: Unbeatable. M4M is like nectar for your head. I'd also like to mention there is SPF 25 included. So this product not only heals, but protects!
Price: Here's what has kept most people on this forum from trying this product. At $22, it does scare off some weary customers. However, the quality of this balm is unsurpassed. I think of it as a luxury expense.
Think of getting a limo ride to work everyday, compared to sitting in a Ford Pinto while crawling through rush-hour traffic with a broken A.C. When the limo drops you off, you feel cool and confident. When you arrive in your Pinto, you're annoyed and sweaty. You might of payed more to ride in a limo, but it certainly makes your day. (get my analogy?)

Would I buy again?: Yes. I've tried numerous post-shave products and I really can't stop raving about my experience with Matte For Men Complete Head Care Lotion.
Try it out. You won't be dissapointed!
