Aftershave of the Day

How do you like this scent? I’ve been super drawn into Noble Otter, and seem to think I’d like this one. Thinking about picking up the soap and aftershave.
It’s a fantastic scent. Captures the essence of Earl Grey tea very well. I have the EdP as well.

Great choice. I intend to shave tonight and I'll be whipping out and trying the original Cooling Blue aftershave

Actually, on the topic of cooling aftershave, how do yall gents feel about Niveas current balms? As in the ones we can acquire in the USA. The 2 in 1 is a blend of alcohol, menthol, and aloe with other moisturizers but how does it compare to these options?
These are NOT ones I own or am using. I'm just wondering as it appears that the OG clear blue that was a mythical "all in one" was discontinued and it's formula was divided into 4 or 5 separate aftershaves
@NurseDave any insight?

This question belongs in a separate thread, but I'll give you my quick answer. Nivea Sensitive is a classic. Been recommended since I started wet shaving 16 years ago. Very good, but maybe more liquid than you'd think after hearing the word balm. Also, Deep is not a balm at all. It is a regular aftershave. Great scent though!

A friend from S. Korea gave me this aftershave, and I really like it. YMMV, but it feels good and has a light botanical scent. I use it post-shave and often again in the evening after I clean my face. Good stuff.

Ooh always nice to get stuff outside the region. Was looking into international stuff. How's it perform?

I like the skincare and scent. If you prefer a strongly scented or bracing aftershave, then you may not like it. My S. Korean friend and I have an annual aftershave exchange. He has given me several SK products, and I have enjoyed using them all for similar reasons. In return, I keep him supplied with a small batch aftershave (think of a bourbon-based bay rum) made by a local barber in my neck 'o the woods.
