I've been using the Nivea men's balm for a while now and decide to try this out. Definitely an upgrade. I use it all over my face, ears, even the back of my neck. It's not greasy and it absorbs pretty quickly, leaving my face very soft and moisturize. I can also tell it has a bit of a toning effect from the witch hazel in it. And it definitely makes my face feel better after a shave.

It is important to note that you do want your face a little wet when you put it on. A little goes a long way. And you want the water to help it smear around.

The scent is lighter than other products with the scents, but that's not a problem. I will say it also has a very slight salon smell to it. Like that clean salon smell. Absolutely love that smell combined with sandpiper or Sharp dressed Man.

Sharp Dressed Man post shave balm is now my favorite of all the scents! The scent is clean, professional, masculine and not overbearing. Great for any occasion. It also soothes and moisturizes my face. As with everything from Stirling, it's top shelf. Don't hesitate. Get some!

I like to get the sting from the splash first then I smooth it out with the balm. And I must say it’s the bomb!

This is more of a lotion than a balm. Still a good product though.

Best balm I’ve ever used. Will always own this scent and use it.

Feels great and smells great!

My adult age son, who I got into wet shaving when he first started shaving, gave me SDM shaving soap, aftershave splash, and oil, for Christmas last year. I really like the scent and have purchased other SDM scented products, including this balm. I really enjoy the feeling of using this balm after the splash. Once the sting from the splash has subsided a bit, I apply a small amount of this balm. Feels very moisturizing but is quickly absorbed and not at all greasy feeling. Another great product available in my favorite scent.

Performance wise, this post shave balm is hands down the best I have used. It moisturizes without any greasy feeling and stays in place all day. I like to use post shave products on my entire face, including my forehead. I've have problems with many other brands running into my eyes about the time I get home from work. No problems with this balm. The scent is natural not chemically and for what it is worth the quirky scent description is right on. Edward Bernays would be proud.

Great product. Lightly scented and not the same smell as the other SDM products, but doesn't compete with them either. Leaves my face soft and smooth.

I've tried a few other balms over the last couple of years. Not sure why I do that because Stirling Post Shave Balms are the best. Some say they are a little to thick. I put some Lucky Tiger on my face and, before the tiger dries, add some balm to my wet hands and proceed to rub over my face. A little goes a long way using the balm this way. With all the balms there is a nice subtle scent that your wife will appreciate in the morning and in the evening. Caution... Your spouse will hug and kiss you more when wearing these balms!

Soothes the irritation fast if you get to aggressive and do nick or burn yourself and really enjoy this fragrance.

The scent is amazing, this balm from Stirling is the best I've ever used for post shave. My face gets really dry in the winter and this is the cure. Just pick a scent you like and enjoy because it's awesome. Thanks Stirling

Smell is as it should be. Feels great to apply a couple layers after a 3 pass shave with safety or straight razor. Soaks into the skin very nicely without a residue. Use the splash as a finish and they don't fight each other.

I love the scent of this balm. But both this and the splash seem to create a burning sensation. It's not a cool feeling like I have with my other Stirling products. Not sure what it is...

I followed up the matching soap and after shave splash with the balm and get to enjoy how I smell all day meanwhile hydrated and smooth. I will no longer need to try out other after shave balms.

This item is great, glad I purchased it

A little bit goes a long way, only need a small amount. Scent is very good.

I have very tender skin, and as I have aged it has gotten thinner and more sensitive. Aftershaves with alcohol content have become a non-starter. I have used both Executive Man and now have used Sharp- dressed Man aftershave balm. Both are excellent at soothing razor burn, but I prefer the Sharp-dressed Man for its fragrance which lasts longer. Either is excellent for sensitive skin.

If you have sensitive skin like I do, Stirling's balms leave your skin feeling hydrated and silky smoothe, also the balms are much more friendly vs the alcohol based aftershaves. Top notch quality

Stirling Soap was recently shared with me by a long time friend. I had been using highly rated product from Amazon before this and was happy, but not overly ecstatic. I wanted product that did not smell like the outdoors and I did not want any powder smelling product either. Sharp Dressed Man and Executive Man were recommended - so I bought both along with the after shave balm for both. Both hit the nail on the head. Executive man has a more pronounced manly smell while Sharp Dressed is the subtle manliness. The all natural scents last the entire day. I bought both soaps in the puck so I can flip back and forth as desired. The lather is second to none, it beats the other guys products hands down and creates a wonderfully smooth shave. The after shave balm is really fantastic, it keeps my razor burn down wile smelling great. All the products from Stirling are top notch, I wish I had found them years ago. By the way, the misses really likes them as well!!

This stuff is great so much that Stirling face balms will be all that I use from here on out. As others have mentioned a very little goes a long way. Nice smell not at all over powering the best is the post shave feel on my face.

This balm is luxurious!! After a good shave, the "sharp dressed man" makes my face feel wonderful. It smells great too.

The ingredients that Rod puts in his balms are so good and wonderful, This balm is heaven. It's feels and smells so good on your face. All of Rods balms are Amazing. Smells exactly like the soaps and after shaves # 1 for sure. Top notch products that feel and smell beautiful. Rod is the man. I love Sterling...

Great scent and very soothing.

After trying the soap, I had to get the splash. And how I could I NOT couple it with the balm. Great aroma. Wife loves it. Cannot go wrong with this unless you are not a Sharp Dressed Man.

The necessary must have compliment to one of the most innovative and contemporary scents in the wet-shaving community. This really represents excellent value for money and lets you enjoy the fantastic scent of Sharp Dressed Man throughout the Day.

The product moisturizes excellently and works very effectively as a post shave product in its soothing and smoothing properties. Additionally I found that you do not need to use a massive amount, merely an almonds worth gives you all day scent and performance.

I like the scent, smoothness of the product, the quick dry time and the fact that it leaves my skin non-oily and feeling smooth. My second order of several scents. I've found a new AS balm.

Like the others say... ONLY use a SMALL dab! I mistakenly treated this like other commercially available lotions - I had enough to make my whole face look like it was covered in white paint!(ok slightly exaggerating) Soaks in quickly and keeps my face feeling smooth!

I have Psoriasis and Eczema and require a balm after every shave. This stuff absorbs quickly, doesn't irritate my skin and keeps my skin soft all day. I also own the Barbershop, Executive Man, Bay Rum and always have at least two unscented balms on hand at all time. It is nearing summer in Las Vegas where I live and I can't order balms when it's 100 degrees here. The balm will turn to warm soup.
