For men, using a moisturizer after shaving is a critical step in optimal skin care and finishing off a smooth close shave like master barbers do.

Did you know that every time you shave, you remove up to two layers of skin? Removal of this dead skin is called exfoliation and is a great way to help keep skin healthy. But it is important to moisturize after this process to help protect your skin when it is most vulnerable - after shaving. And, using an after shave lotion helps smooth and calm the skin. This important step is also used by master barbers in the traditional wet shaving service. Our after shave balms are formulated to use after shaving or any time you need to moisturize - like after a shower or before bed. Because your skin is sensitive after shaving, men-u after shave lotions do not contain sunscreen (and, you also would NOT want to put those sunscreen chemicals on your face at night before sleeping). Sunscreen is important, so after you moisturize and before going out during the day, put sunscreen on over the lotion and you're set to go.
