Life can be fun. I switched to Dr Hauschka products about two years ago, because the air on planes gave my face some interesting challenges. It has always worked well with my shaving routine. And now I know, why (irritatingly accurate blurb from Dr Hauschka Website below):
The daily routine of shaving can be tough on facial skin. Extra care with gentle, soothing, nourishing products can keep skin from being damaged or dried. Apply Cleansing Milk before your shave to protect your skin from irritation and help lubricate the razor blade. Add a few drops of Lavender or Spruce Bath to your rinse water to soothe and enliven you as you prepare for your workday or night out. After shaving, mist with Facial Toner to help tone the pores, balance and refresh. If oily or blemished skin is a common problem, try Clarifying Toner instead. It also helps to heal ingrown hairs. If you experience any irritation from a rushed or heavy-handed shave, apply Rhythmic Conditioner, Sensitive to soothe tender skin.
Yes, I do still use Castle Forbes's pre and after shave. But I recommend Dr Hauschka's products notwithstanding. See if you can grab a sample somewhere.
Hmm, these look kind of expensive, but we spend money on so much useless stuff anyways
I think I'll give it a try next time I decide I need a new shaving product.
