The Arber range is a regular present for my husband from my family each Christmas. This range is gorgeous and very masculine! My husband has a very course hair growth and he has always struggled to find aftershave balms that sufficiently sooth his irritated skin. Whilst I will say that this is not the best product he has ever used, it is certainly a fantastic contender. The balm is thin to medium consistency and is opaque white in colour. You only need a pea size worth of balm warmed between the hands for one application. After shaving he simply smoothes this onto the shaved areas and instantly it calms, soothes and softens the skin. This balm does not leave a greasy residue or cause breakouts or flare-ups o my husband’s skin. The balm has a gorgeous masculine fragrance of spicy woods and citrus which is not overpowering and delicately scents the skin for hours. After application his skin feels so soft and supple and gives a healthy dewy look to his face.
A tube of this product lasts my husband approximately 9 months which is excellent value!This is a fantastic balm that not only benefits the skin; it looks and smells fantastic too!
