You see, shaving, no matter how well the morning ritual is performed, takes a toll on a man's skin. Every blade pass removes not only the hair it's supposed to, but also layers of skin and essential oils and nutrients key to keeping a face looking and feeling comfortable and healthy.
That's where a superior post-shave balm comes in. Upper-crust versions of aftershave creams do a great service to just-shaved faces, soothing and calming them down by re-upping skin with the moisture, nutrients and sometimes disinfectants they require to be their best.
So, if you're looking to end your shaves with "ahhhhhhhhs" rather than "owwwwwwws," it'd be a solid idea to try out one of our 5 favorite men's post-shave balms:
