Best After-shave Balm, Sandalwood Scent, Premium Aftershave Lotion, Soothes and Moisturizes Face after shaving, Does Not Dry The Skin, Eliminates Razor Burn For A Silky Smooth Finish …

Add this item to the "Have these people ever actually smelled sandalwood?" list. It doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't smell like sandalwood. On the bright side, this lotion is amazing! Yes, it's on the pricy side, but you only need a very small amount and your face will feel refreshed and good as new. Buy it...your skin will thank you.

I bought this when I started shaving with my new Muhle R89 razor about 2 weeks ago. I really soothes my skin after shaving. I love it. Goes on with a slight burning sensation typical of after shaves. Great sandalwood scent that doesn't overpower. The fragrance is initially strong, filling my nose with a great woody scent that I just love and look forward to every morning, but the scent quickly recedes into the background after it's wiped all over my face and neck. It's a foundation layer of scent that I catch little whiffs of throughout the day. Note that I'm not the kind of guy that wants to be smelled from a distance. My scent layering is intended to be subtle and smelled up close by me throughout the day, but not by anyone else. Let's put it this way, after I've completed my morning routine, including cologne, my wife can't smell me when we're in the car together. So, you don't have to worry about it being overpowering. It's not. I see it as a great base scent on which to build an overall scent. I believe that citrus and floral scents compliment this very well. I combine it with 2 light spritzes of Hollister Jake cologne and I really like that combination because the Jake has a more citrus/floral scent with a base woody scent that compliments this very well. I just happened to have the Hollister Jake as I got it as a gift a couple of years ago, but never used it until now. I really like the combination and I'll probably order more of that too once it runs out. All it takes is one squirt - about a pea sized amount. I initially used 2 squirts, but that left my face way too oily and I had to dab it off. As it is, I have to dab a little with a towel even with 1 squirt. Absorbs into my skin after a few minutes and leaves my face softer than its ever been in my entire life. Just incredible. The combination of the extremely close shave and the softness of my face from this product is just amazing. Baby But Smooth and soft. However, my face has been very shiny since I started shaving with a DE razor. Some of that I attribute to the incredibly close shave, but some of it I think comes from this product. I've ordered some Clubman Pinaud talc and I'm hoping that it will knock down the shiny complexion and add another complimentary scent layer. We will see. I also use the Lather & Wood Sandalwood Pre-Shave oil. I bought that at the same time that I bought this and it smells the same. Note that I didn't do the subscription because I didn't know if I was going to like it or not, but I believe that I'll do a subscription after I learn how long this bottle lasts.

I was a little disappointed when I received this, because I thought the bottle would be larger, and I would be getting more of the product than what actually arrived. This stuff goes on a little greasy, but that Fades quickly, and it's very soothing and refreshing to the skin after shaving. I'm not crazy about the dispenser, and it only comes out in thick drops. But I do like that it only takes a few of those drops to completely cover my face. The fragrance is very clean and real, and has just the right intensity, and doesn't overstay it's welcome. It's a little expensive for the amount I got, but I would buy it again.

STOP using alcohol based aftershave, and START using Lather & Wood After-Shave Balm, I promise you will never go back. I always used to think the burn of an alcohol based aftershave was a necessary part of shaving, and if you didn't have the burn you were going to get razor burn and razor bumps. Boy, was I wrong. I was hesitant to make this purchase, as I have sensitive skin that blemishes easily, and I've always been insecure about acne and razor burn/bumps after shaving, so I avoided anything creamy or that didn't have alcohol - thinking that was the best choice for me. This after-shave balm completely changed my perspective. The after-shave balm goes on light and non-greasy, has an amazing feel to it, makes my skin feel soft and protected, provides a deep moisturizing feel, does not cause acne, and best of all smells INCREDIBLE. My skin has never felt better after shaving. I would highly recommend pairing with the Lather & Wood Sandalwood shaving soap. After I decided to pull the trigger on investing in a wet shaving setup, I was looking for a a nice soap and aftershave to pair with it. After some searching, I landed on Lather & Wood products, and decided to give it a try. I initially purchased the Bay Rum scent along with Sandalwood. While Lather & Wood's Bay Rum scent is, in and of itself, fantastic for those who like it, it wasn't for me. This Sandalwood scent on the other hand is so unique, refreshing, and amazing, with strong but not overpowering woodsy, earthy, smoky, and mature notes, like walking through a fresh sandalwood grove on a crisp fall afternoon, it is unlike any other Sandalwood scent I've ever smelled on the market. Most shaving soaps or aftershaves I've smelled that claim to be sandwalwood have an old chemical perfumey smell to them that gives me a headache. This after-shave balm is the complete opposite, and I promise you will feel so refreshed and confident as you get whifts of this amazing scent throughout the day. Do yourself a favor and give this after-shave balm a chance, and you will not be disappointed. I swear by this company and this product. If for any reason, you have any issues, questions, comments, or concerns, Morgan will be your Lather & Wood representative, and they will be happy to assist you in a professional, timely, and helpful manner. I've never experience better customer service with any company I've used before. I hope this review helped someone on the fence, and I hope you enjoy your after-shave balm, never returning to alcohol based aftershave again!

I love this stuff! The scent is absolutely amazing and it performs better than any other shaving product I've ever used. I'm really into "manly" smells -- I love WD-40, fresh cut cedar or pine, rubber wheel chocks, all that good stuff. I honestly think that this is my favorite smell hands down. It's kind of "woodsy" and "spicy". I recently got into DE shaving and I'll admit I'm still learning. I've been shaving with a safety razor for a few weeks now and I've just about got it down. I'm finally getting that baby smooth shave, better than any disposable/cartridge razor ever provided. Even being gentle I'm still suffering from some razor burn though. This product helps a *lot*. It's not overpowering, but lingers and pops up throughout the day and makes me feel good. I find myself shaving when I don't even need to. I know it's fairly expensive and looks small, but I've been using 3-4 squirts a day for a week now and it still looks full. I definitely feel that the value is outstanding. As an added bonus the customer service is excellent. After I made a second purchase from CSP Products they actually sent me a personal e-mail asking how I felt about their product -- not asking for a public review or praise, just genuinely concerned about me as a customer. I haven't seen that level of customer service in ages. I'm not writing this review because they asked me to, and I'm not getting anything for it. I'm just that impressed.

Added to the review one year after ... I kept it in my travel bag and it lasted almost a year. (Which isn't very impressive. it was a COVID year of non travel). It ran out recently and I will not buy more. The product worked OK and the very small size bottle is a decent fit for travel. Bit it was a bit too greasy, and the bottle was too small, and it started to smell oxidized after less than a year. I'll stick with my "Meh" review. ====== Original Review Below ====== OK, this is a decent product. It is soothing, smells OK (not really much scent), and it does the job. It is more concentrated than most after-shave by that I mean it is thicker and seems a bit greasier. So you just use a couple tiny pumps and it does sort of cover your face and neck. If the bottle size does not surprise you, then you have been using different products than I do. The bottle is tiny. And while the concentration of the product may mean it lasts, I felt kind of cheated. As soon as I received this, I used some, said “Meh”, and put it in my travel bag. The reason I am writing the review now is that I am traveling (by car), and using it every day. This product is ideal for travel except for the glass bottle. but it is ideal enough I will stick with my assertion. I have used it for 5 days in a row and it does soothe the skin after shaving. Its scent lasts maybe 20 minutes. It is not super satisfying to use. I confess, shaving is a total experience for me. Single blade, proper shaving soap, brush, shave close and get clean. I like after-shave that feels a bit indulgent (my favorite is Proraso After Shave Balm, Sensitive Skin). It makes my skin feel great and I enjoy the total experience. So please read the bottle size twice, expect a heavier, greasier lotion an a subtle scent. If all of those are for you, order the product. Once this bottle runs out, i will be unlikely to replace it.

Love it, it's my second purchase. Good sandalwood scent.

Absolutely love it works very well rarely will ever get razor burn bumps do to this product

This caused a rash on my face for days after I stopped using it. I have thrown it into the rubbish.

Good product. Recommended.

Nice scent, good quality and very smooth

I am happy to buy this. This is what the fragrance of sandalwood should be. This balm works for me, I have sensitive and oily skin. Good packing and good delivery.

It has one of the worst horrible+terrible smell. I've left it in a corner to let it rot.
