Viking Luxury After-Shave Balm - Soothes Face, Moisturizes After Shaving, Eliminates Razor Burn - Sandalwood Scent

Fantastic product line with great service. The Viking Revolution shave cream in Sandlewood has a terrific, clean, fresh scent, with a texture that mirrors TOBS. If you aren’t familiar with TOBS, think the texture of thick lotion, a tub cream car wax, pudding, etc etc. The lubrication was very good. I am a tradition wet shaver, so vintage Gillette DE Safety razor( my current favorite is my 1937 Gillette Aristocrat Open comb TTO Razor) brush, bowl, and aftershave. With my Synthetic 34mm knot brush, the cream whipped up nicely, held a good lather, smelled fantastic and performed very well. Stayed slick through the shave, a quick whip up and reapply from the bowl was all I needed between passes. Definitely on par with TOBS, and the other soft creams, fantastic good clean barbershop scent. It is not a heavy scent like some sandalwood, but very clean masculine and unobtrusive. The aftershave on the other hand has a more modern scent not too reminiscent of sandalwood to me, but to each their own. I didn’t care for, but I think my son enjoys it. The performance seems on par, but the scent was not to my liking. Scents are subjective though and I seem to be in the minority as far as not liking the scent, so give it a try. The shave cream though IS a definite winner and I will be purchasing again. Regarding the company; I did need to contact them regarding something( delivery and product were fine) . It was nice to see they already had contacted me to make sure my purchasing experience was pleasant.. They were also very quick to reply and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was happy. That kind of service speaks volumes in this throw away world! Buy with confidence. These guys are good people.

This is a good product. It soothes the skin and has a mild not overpowering scent.

Seems to be moisturizing and a nice feeling. The only drawback is its' overpowering scent. The scent might be ok if it wasn't so terribly strong. It's a no because of the scent.

Good stuff. Goes on easily not heavy and has a very mild scent

I finally found something that seems to moisturize and smells great.

I enjoy the hint of sandalwood throughout the day. Good product.

I've been searching for a good sandalwood scented aftershave and this was highly reviewed. I was surprised that I need to use about 3+ pumps to get out enough, but that's fine. The most important thing of note is that, when I pump it, it comes out smelling like farts. The fart smell quickly fades away and leaves a reasonably pleasant sandalwood aroma. That is, the lotion itself smells of sandalwood, but I suspect the gas inside the bottle smells like farts. My assumption, which I'm fairly confident about, is that someone at the factory farts into each bottle before it ships out. Or maybe just my bottle. And so you gotta get the fart out first. No, jokes aside, I assume that something in the lotion off-gasses or degrades in an unpleasant way and so, inside the enclosed bottle, it congeals into a fart smell, even while the lotion itself is OK. I don't like the lotion smell enough to buy it again and the fact the it smells like farts first more or less cements that. I WILL say it has been pretty effective at eliminating my razorburn. It's just a shame about the farts.

In my first shave in my "every other evening shave" I added this Viking balm product and very pleased with the size of the bottle,easy to use without the greasiness. Money well spent. I will let you know how long it lasts. Ingredients must be good my face is soothed and moisturized.

This is amazing. It calms your skin and smells really good. You feel the skin instantly calmer after applying it after shaving. Highly recommend it

Smells great. Nice on skin. Good value.
