The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe Post-Shave Water-Gel for Men – Calms & Soothes – Vegan – 5.4 oz

The Body Shop’s Maca Root and Aloe ”Post-Shave Water-gel” is currently my favorite aftershave.It smells great. Rather than “spiced” or “woodsy” like a lot of products targeted at men, I’d describe the scent as “fresh”. Without coming off chemical-y, sweet, or fruity, and gentle enough to not be overpowering.As a gel it sits on your fingers and is easy to apply evenly. It goes on smoothly and has a mild cooling effect without the sting of menthol, etc.It absorbs quickly and leaves your skin soft and feeling hydrated and refreshed. It doesn’t leave any appreciable residue. It likewise doesn’t change the appearance of your skin much, if anything perhaps a bit more matte.I’ve used it both with disposable cartridge razors as well as safety razors. It works well enough to follow a fairly aggressive shave.

My husband is very picky about what after shave he is willing to use on his skin. It must smell nice to him and function as a good quality after shave. This does both. The aloe also softens his skin post shave. We have already re purchased for him as he like this one so much.

I've been using this gel since the early 2000's. It was the brand British Airways gave out in the amenity kit in business class and I've bought ever since. It's very refreshing, cooling and soothing without a ton of fragrance like so many gel products today. The shave cream is excellent too - not to heavy or greasy. Some are like coating your face in Crisco or butter and hard to wash off.

I bought this aftershave lotion while looking for a replacement and at first didn't care for it. But after a few uses I really started to enjoy the smell and feel of it. I use it when I shave my head and it works well.I bought it in March and by December was looking for a refill only to find a price increase of over 72%.Sorry to say I will not be buying this again. I thought it was decent for what I paid in March but no way in hell i'm paying almost 30 bucks for a little over 4 ounces.

The Body Shop’s Maca Root and Aloe ”Post-Shave Water-gel” is currently my favorite aftershave.

Stock up if you can still get it. All body shop stores in the US closed. Not sure if you will still be able to get this.

I like that my husband likes it, since he’s the one that uses it…

I love everything about this product and I’m a female. The smell is fresh but dissipates after a while but I mostly love the calm thst it brings to my freshly shaved skin - underarms and legs. It does what it says it’s going to do. So, for me, I give it five stars and it deserves each one. I hope they never stop making it.
