I’ve been in a few barbershops in my time. This has a scent that is generic barbershop. I liked it enough that I bought the soap and aftershave with the same scent. It’s a manly smell. Probably it will be best in the Fall and Winter.

The witch hazel comes on really strong with little to no barbershop scent. There was no burning sensation from the alcohol. Comes out really thick and turns a bit sticky. Seems like I got a bad batch

This balm is top grade stuff. The ingredients list is all natural and the scent is pleasant and clean. When the balm dries it feels silky.15 bucks is a good price for this kind of quality. My only problem was getting the balm out of the bottle. It's like a new ketchup bottle multiplied by ten. The top of the bottle is screw on and is a standard size. Most shampoo or hand soap pumps will fit on it. With a pump this is a breeze to apply. I use this balm after every shave, a little goes a long way. Will most likely buy again when empty
